بَابُ زِيَارَةِ أَهْلِ الْخَيْرِ وَمُجَالَسَتِهِمْ وَصُحْبَتِهِمْ وَمَحَبَّتِهِمْ وَطَلَبِ زِيَارَتِهِمْ

45. Chapter: Visiting the righteous, sitting with them, keeping their company, loving them, and asking to visit them.

لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا دَعَا الْإِنْسَانُ لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ: آمِينَ، وَلَكَ بِمِثْلِهِ، فَالْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ.

When a person prays for his brother in his absence, an angel says, 'Amen, and may you have the same,' for deeds are judged by intentions.

فَهَذَا لَمْ يَنْوِ ذَلِكَ مَصْلَحَةَ نَفْسِهِ خَاصَّةً؛ بَلْ مَصْلَحَةَ نَفْسِهِ وَمَصْلَحَةَ أَخِيهِ الَّذِي طَلَبَ مِنْهُ الدُّعَاءَ، فَالْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ.

This person does not intend only his own benefit; rather, he seeks both his own good and the good of the brother who requested the prayer, as deeds are judged by intentions.
