Effect of mother’s Du’a

Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman Bin Ahmad رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه                                has said: I heard my father saying that once an elderly woman came to Sayyiduna Ibn-e-Makhlad رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه and humbly said: My young son has been imprisoned by Romans. I have a small house, other than that I have no other possessions; I cannot sell it off. Therefore you ask any wealthy person to free my son by paying Fidya (ransom) because now I am spending restless days and sleepless nights. Consoling her, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: I am trying to solve your problem. The narrator said: When the elderly woman left, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه sat lowering his head and his blessed lips were moving (as if he had been reciting something). After a few days, the same elderly woman came to him with her young son and making Du’as for him started saying: (اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ) My son has come back safely and he will also state his account of journey to you.

The son (came and) said: With a group of prisoners I was in prison of the Roman king who had many orchards. He would send us every day to work in his orchards and (in the evening) put us back in the prison. One day, when after Maghrib we were going back to the prison after working (in the orchards), suddenly the strong chains tied around my feet broke themselves and fell onto the ground.
