Chapter: Supplicating for One's Brother in His Absence
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 624 — Supplicating for One's Brother in His Absence
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا حَيْوَةُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي شُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيَّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الصُّنَابِحِيَّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : إِنَّ دَعْوَةَ الأَخِ فِي اللَّهِ تُسْتَجَابُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) that the supplication of a religious brother for his religious brother is accepted.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
The point is that when two individuals have a relationship and brotherhood due to religion, with no other familial connection, then their supplication (du'a) for one another is accepted. In other words, when their love is for the sake of Allah and there is no worldly interest involved, their supplication for each other is accepted. Thus, among the causes for the acceptance of supplication is also love and relationship for the sake of Allah.
