Dua for Brothers in Faith

Ali Ibne Ibrahim has reported on the authority of his father:  I saw Abdullah Ibne Jandab in Arafaat raising his hands towards heaven and tears running from his eyes.  When all the people had left I said to him: O Aba Muhammad! I saw no one so much absorbed in Dua as you were.   He said: By God! I did not recite Dua save for my brothers in faith, for Imam Kazem (AS) had said to me: *     * “Whoever recites Dua in the absence of his brother in faith, there is a call from Divine throne saying: Let a hundred thousand times more than it be for you.”   I thought it was not advisable to leave a hundred thousand Duas which was certainly answered for one Dua for myself, which might or might not be answered. _____________________________________________________________________   Ibne Abi Omayreh has reported on the authority of Zeid Nerssi: Moavieh Ibne Wahab and I were in Arafaat.  He was reciting Dua which his eyes were full of tears.  Listening carefully to him, I found out that he was not reciting a single Dua for himself, rather he was reciting Dua for people from here and there in world mentioning their names and their fathers names.   When people left Arafaat, I said to him: O uncle! I saw something strange about you.  He said: What was strange?  I said: In this holy place, you considered your brethren prior to yourself and recited Dua for others!  He said: O my nephew! Don’t be surprised at this, for I heard from my master of former and future generations after his innocent fathers (AS), (If I lie, let my ears become deaf, my eyes blind and deprived from the Holy Prophet’s intercession) as saying:          “Whoever recites Dua in the absence of his brother in faith, an angel from heaven will call him saying: O servant of an angel from thousand times more than it be for you.  And an angel for the second heaven will call: O servant of God! Let two hundred thousand times more than that Dua be for you and angel from the third heaven will call: O servant of God! Let three hundred thousand times more than it be for you.  And an angel from the fifth heaven will call: O servant of God! Let five hundred thousand times more than it be for you.  And an angel from the sixth heaven will call: O servant of God! Let six hundred thousand times more than it be for you.  And an angel from the seventh heaven will call: O servant of God! Let seven hundred thousand times more than it be for you.  Then, God will say: I am the dependent One who will never become poor.  O servant of God! Let a million times more than it be for you.”   O my nephew! which one is great: What I did or what you are saying? Reference : Oddatud Daee
