Does the angel say, "The same to you," to one who supplicates for another with the intention that the angel would say that, yet also supplicates for him sincerely?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a Muslim supplicates for his brother in his absence, the angel says to him: "And to you be the like of it," because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no Muslim servant who supplicates for his brother in his absence, except that the angel says: 'And to you be the like of it.'" Some of the Salaf, if they wanted to supplicate for themselves, would supplicate for their Muslim brother with that supplication, because it is answered, and they receive the like of it.
