حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " ثَلاَثُ دَعَوَاتٍ مُسْتَجَابَاتٌ لاَ شَكَّ فِيهِنَّ دَعْوَةُ الْمَظْلُومِ وَدَعْوَةُ الْمُسَافِرِ وَدَعْوَةُ الْوَالِدِ عَلَى وَلَدِهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ رَوَى الْحَجَّاجُ الصَّوَّافُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ هِشَامٍ . وَأَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْمُؤَذِّنُ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُ اسْمَهُ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ غَيْرَ حَدِيثٍ .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah said: "Three Supplications Are Accepted, There Is No Doubt In Them (About Them Being Accepted): The Supplication Of The Oppressed, The Supplication Of The Traveler, And The Supplication Of His Father Against His Son."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1905
This hadith about three accepted supplications names three cases with clear wording: the supplication of the oppressed, the supplication of the traveler, and the supplication of a father against his son. The text says there is no doubt about them being accepted. The hadith is a serious reminder, especially about the father’s dua against his child. It teaches that oppression is not ignored, travel has a special place in dua, and a parent’s words should not be treated lightly. A child should avoid behavior that pushes a father toward painful supplication. At the same time, the hadith itself only names these three supplications and their seriousness.
What we learn from this hadith
- The supplication of the oppressed is named as accepted.
- The traveler’s supplication is given special mention.
- A father’s supplication against his son is treated seriously.
- Family conduct should avoid causing deep parental hurt.
