حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي، سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ، (وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ)

وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ الدَّرْدَاءُ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ وَوَجَدْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَتْ أَتُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ الْعَامَ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ.

قَالَتْ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «دَعْوَةُ الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ كُلَّمَا دَعَا لأَخِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ الْمُوَكَّلُ بِهِ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ».

قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ لِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ يَرْوِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Safwan (and he was Ibn Abdullah ibn Safwan, and he had been married to Umm Darda) reported: I visited Abu Darda’s house in Syria. I did not find him there but Umm Darda (was present at the house).

She said: Do you intend to perform Hajj during this year? I said: Yes. She said: Do supplicate Allah for blessings upon us, for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (may peace be upon hiin) used to say: The supplication of a Muslim for his brother at his back (in his absence) is responded so long as he makes a supplica- tion for blessings for his brother and the commissioned Angel says: Amen, and says: May it be for you too I I went to the bazar and met Abfi Dardi and he narrated like this from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

(…/২৭৩২) তিনি (সাফওয়ান) বলেন, এরপর আমি বাজারের দিকে বের হলাম। আর আবু দারদা (রাযিঃ) এর দেখা পেলাম, তখন তিনি আমাকে অনুরূপ কথা নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে বর্ণনা করলেন।

عیسیٰ بن یونس نے کہا : ہمیں عبدالملک بن ابی سلیمان نے ابوزبیر سے حدیث بیان کی ، انہوں نے عبداللہ بن صفوان کے بیٹے صفوان سے روایت کی ، ( حضرت ابودرداء رضی اللہ عنہ کی بیٹی ) درداء ، ان ( صفوان ) کی زوجیت میں تھی ، وہ کہتے ہیں : اور میں شام آیا تو حضرت ابودرداء رضی اللہ عنہ کے ہاں ان کے گھر گیا ، وہ نہیں ملے ، میں حضرت ام درداء رضی اللہ عنہا سے ملا تو انہوں نے کہا : کیا تم اس سال حج کا ارادہ رکھتے ہو؟

میں نے کہا : جی ہاں ۔ انہوں نے کہا : ہمارے لیے خیر کی دعا کرنا کیونکہ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فرمایا کرتے تھے : " مسلمان کی اپنے بھائی کے لیے اس کی پیٹھ پیچھے کی گئی دعا مستجاب ہوتی ہے ، اس کے سر کے قریب ایک فرشتہ مقرر ہوتا ہے ، وہ جب بھی اپنے بھائی کے لیے دعائے خیر کرتا ہے تو مقرر کیا ہوا فرشتہ اس پر کہتا ہے : آمین ، اور تمہیں بھی اسی کے مانند عطا ہو ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ishaq bin Ibrahim] telah mengabarkan kepada kami ['Isa bin Yunus] telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdul Malik bin Abu Sulaiman] dari [Abu Az Zubair] dari [Shafwan bin 'Abdullah bin Shafwan] dan riwayat selanjutnya adalah dari [Ummu Darda'], dia berkata; "Saya pernah pergi ke Syam dan mengunjungi Abu Darda' di rumahnya.

Namun saya tidak bertemu dengannya, lalu saya pergi menjumpai Ummu Darda'. Setelah itu, Ummu Darda' bertanya kepada saya; 'Hai Shafwan, apakah kamu akan pergi haji pada tahun ini?

' Saya pun menjawab; 'Ya.' Ummu Darda' berkata; 'Mohonkanlah kepada Allah kebaikan untuk kami, karena Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam telah bersabda: 'Doa seorang muslim untuk saudaranya sesama muslim dari kejauhan tanpa diketahui olehnya akan dikabulkan. Di atas kepalanya ada malaikat yang telah diutus, dan setiap kali ia berdoa untuk kebaikan, maka malaikat yang diutus tersebut akan mengucapkan 'Amin dan kamu juga akan mendapatkan seperti itu.'

Shafwan berkata; 'Setelah itu saya pergi ke pasar dan di sana saya bertemu dengan [Abu Darda']. Ternyata ia pun mengatakan seperti itu kepada saya yang diriwayatkannya dari Nabi Muhammad shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Dan telah menceritakannya kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin Abu Syaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yazid bin Harun] dari ['Abdul Malik bin Abu Sulaiman] melalui sanad ini dengan Hadits yang serupa. dia berkata; dari Shafwan bin 'Abdullah bin Shafwan

Sahih Muslim 6929, Book 0, Introduction. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that a Muslim's supplication for his fellow Muslim in his absence is answered because it demonstrates greater sincerity. At the head of the supplicator is an appointed angel who says whenever he invokes good for his brother: Amen, and may you receive the same.

What it teaches

  • Encouraging believers to show kindness to one another, even with supplication.
  • Supplicating for others in their absence is an indication of sincere faith and true brotherhood.
  • Restricting supplication for others to their absence, because this demonstrates greater sincerity and presence of heart.
  • One of the reasons for supplications being answered is when a Muslim prays for his fellow Muslim in his absence.
  • An-Nawawi said: The merit of supplicating for a fellow Muslim in his absence—even if one prays for a group of Muslims, this merit is attained. And if one supplicates for the entire Muslim community, it is evident that this merit is also attained. Some of the righteous predecessors, when they wished to supplicate for themselves, would supplicate for their Muslim brother with the same supplication, because it is answered, and they receive the same.
  • Clarifying some of the tasks of angels—among them are those whom Allah has entrusted with this specific task.
