حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ الدَّرْدَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ

قَالَ قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّامَ فَوَجَدْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَتْ: أَتُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ الْعَامَ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَتْ: فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ دَعْوَةَ الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ، عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ: كُلَّمَا دَعَا لأَخِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ، قَالَ آمِينَ، وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ.» قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ يَأْثُرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

Safwan b. Abdullah b. Safwan, who was married to the daughter of Abu al-Darda, said: I visited them in Syria and found Umm al-Darda in the house, but not Abu al-Darda.  She asked: Are you intending to go on hajj this year? Yes, I replied. She said: Make dua to Allah and ask for good for us. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The dua of a Muslim man for his absent brother is answered. At his head there is a guardian angel: whenever he asks Allah to give his brother good, the angel says: Amin, and may you have the same." I met Abu al-Darda in the market and he said something similar which was related from the Prophet ﷺ.
