حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، قَالَ:، وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ الدَّرْدَاءُ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ الشَّامَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ وَوَجَدْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَقَالَتْ: تُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ الْعَامَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَتْ: فَادْعُ لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ، فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ دَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ، عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ، كُلَّمَا دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ: آمِينَ، وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ " فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ، فَأَلْقَى أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَقَالَ لِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، يَأْثُرُهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Safwan bin Abdullah, whose wife was Darda, says: Once I came to Syria and visited Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him), but he was not at home; however, his wife was present. She asked me, "Do you intend to perform Hajj this year?" I replied in the affirmative. She said, "Pray for good for us as well, because the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) used to say that when a Muslim prays for his brother in his absence, that prayer is accepted, and an angel is appointed at his head for this purpose. Whenever he prays for good for his brother, the angel says 'Ameen' to it and says, 'May you also have the same.'" Then I went to the market and met Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. He also said the same thing to me and narrated the same hadith from the Noble Prophet (ﷺ).
