The answer

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, requesting the Ummah to supplicate for him, is a command and an encouragement towards goodness and a benefit for the one from whom it is requested. He benefits from teaching them goodness and enjoining it upon them. When a Muslim supplicates for his brother with good, the supplicator receives the reward of the supplication and the angel's "Ameen" upon it. His supplication is answered in one of three ways: hastened in this world, stored for the Hereafter, or by averting evil from him. The supplication of a Muslim for his brother in his absence is answered. The acceptance of a supplication for someone to memorize the Quran does not necessarily mean the supplicator receives the reward of that person's memorization, but he is rewarded for his supplication for good. There is no harm in intending goodness and benefit when requesting supplication from others, for supplicating for others benefits both the supplicator and the one being supplicated for.
