The Parents, the Traveller and the Oppressed

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Three duas are such that they will undoubtedly gain acceptance; the dua of the father (or mother, in regard to their child), the dua of the musaafir (traveller) and the dua of the oppressed.” ^[1]

The Fasting Person and the Just Ruler

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Three people are such that their dua will not be rejected; the fasting person until he breaks his fast, the just ruler, and the dua of the oppressed person which Allah Ta‘ala raises above the clouds, and for which the doors of the heavens are opened, and Allah Ta‘ala says, ‘By My honour! I will definitely assist you – even if it is after some time!’” ^[2]
