Your Dua for Your Absent Brother Is Answered — and an Angel Prays the Same for You

Sahih
Sahih Muslim · 2732·Narrated by Abu al-Darda' (RA)

دَعْوَةُ الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ كُلَّمَا دَعَا لأَخِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ الْمُوَكَّلُ بِهِ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ

Da'watul-mar'il-muslimi li'akhīhi biẓahril-ghaybi mustajābah, 'inda ra'sihi malakun muwakkalun, kullamā da'ā li'akhīhi bikhayrin qālal-malakul-muwakkalu bih: āmīn wa laka bi-mithl

Translation

Abu al-Darda' (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The supplication of a Muslim for his brother in his absence is answered. Near his head there is an appointed angel, and every time he supplicates for his brother with something good, the angel appointed for him says: Ameen, and may you receive the same.'
