Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ فَأَتَاهُمْ فَوَجَدَ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أَتُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ الْعَامَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَادْعُ لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ دَعْوَةَ الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهِ كُلَّمَا دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, Abd al-Malik informed us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Safwan ibn Abdullah - and Umm al-Darda' was his wife. He came to them and found Umm al-Darda', who said to him: "Do you intend to perform Hajj this year?" He said: "Yes." She said: "Then supplicate for us with good, for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say: 'The supplication of a Muslim for his brother in his absence is answered. At his head is an angel appointed; whenever he supplicates for his brother with good, the angel says: Amin, and for you the same.'" He said: Then I went out to the marketplace and met Abu al-Darda', who narrated to me from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) the same thing.
