The Excellence of Supplicating in one's Absence

باب فضل الدعاء بظهر الغيب

Riyad as-Salihin 1495
وعنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يقول‏:‏ ‏ ‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
"‏دعوة المرء المسلم لأخيه بظهر الغيب مستجابة، عند رأسه ملك موكل كلما دعا لأخيه بخير قال الملك الموكل به‏:‏ آمين، ولك بمثل‏"
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'."[Muslim].
