Sunan Ibn Majah 2895 (Book 25, Hadith 14) #32249
The Power of Supplication

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the power of supplication and how it can be done for others even in their absence.

It was narrated from Safwan bin 'Abdullah bin Safwan said that he was married to a daughter of Abu Darda’. He came to her and found Umm Darda’ there, but he did not find Abu Darda’. She said to him: "Do you intend to perform Hajj this year?" He said: "Yes". She said: "Pray to Allah for us to grant us goodness, for the Prophet used to say: 'The supplication of a man for his brother in his absence will be answered. By his head there is an angel who says Amin to his supplication, and every time he prays for his brother, he says: "Amin, and the same for you.’" He said: "Then I went out to the marketplace where I met Abu Darda’, and he told me something similar from the Prophet ".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، قَالَ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ ابْنَةُ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَأَتَاهَا فَوَجَدَ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ تُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ الْعَامَ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ كَانَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ دَعْوَةُ الْمَرْءِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ يُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ كُلَّمَا دَعَا لَهُ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the power of supplication and prayer. It was narrated by Safwan bin 'Abdullah bin Safwan who was married to a daughter of Abu Darda’. He came to her and found Umm Darda’ there but did not find Abu Darda’. She asked him if he intended to perform Hajj that year and he said yes. She then told him that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to say that when one prays for another in their absence an angel will say “Amin” or “Amen” which means “may it be so” in response to the prayer. When he went out into the marketplace he met Abu Darda who told him something similar from what the Prophet ﷺ said about supplications being answered even when made on behalf of someone else in their absence. This hadith teaches us that our prayers are powerful and can be made on behalf of others even when they are not present with us at that time. We should use this knowledge as a reminder to pray for those we love even if we cannot physically be with them at all times because Allah will answer our prayers no matter where we are or who we are praying for.
