Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat): Detailed Injunctions about Witr
Da'if

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا رَجَاءُ بْنُ الْمُرَجَّى، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ ثَرْوَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَتْ حَدَّثَنِي سَيِّدِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِذَا دَعَا الرَّجُلُ لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ قَالَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: When a Muslim supplicates for his absent brother the angels say: Amin, and may you receive the like.
Narrated by Abu Al-Darda' said:

Context

In this hadith, Abu Al-Darda' narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) emphasized the power of supplication made for others in their absence. When a Muslim prays for a fellow believer without them knowing, the angels respond with 'Amin,' wishing the same for the one who made the supplication. This highlights the importance of selflessness and the interconnectedness of the Muslim community through prayer.

Modern Application

In today's world, making dua for others can strengthen relationships and foster a sense of community. When we pray for friends, family, or even strangers, we contribute to a positive environment and uplift those around us, reinforcing the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Supplication because it illustrates the significance of praying for others and the divine response that follows.
