Riyad as-Salihin, 1495
Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The supplication of a Muslim for his (Muslim) brother in his absence will certainly be answered. Everytime he makes a supplication for good for his brother, the angel appointed for this particular task says: 'A meen! May it be for you, too'." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يقول:
دعوة المرء المسلم لأخيه بظهر الغيب مستجابة، عند رأسه ملك موكل كلما دعا لأخيه بخير قال الملك الموكل به: آمين، ولك بمثل
((رواه مسلم)).
