Chapter 175
Remembrance 1 from Chapter 175
The desirability of making du‘ā’ whilst travelling
Context
WE RELATE FROM the books of Abū Dāwūd, at-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah that Abū Hurayrah 
reported that the Messenger of Allah 
said: “The du‘ā’ of three people is accepted, without any doubt: the du‘ā’ of someone who has been wronged, the du‘ā’ of a traveller, and the du‘ā’ of a father against his son.” [1].At-Tirmidhī describes this hadith as ḥasan. Abū Dāwūd’s version does not have ‘against his son’.
