Three du’as [supplications] that are not rejected

Can you provide the reference for this:

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Three prayers (supplications) are not rejected, there is no doubt in this; The du’a of a father, the du’a of a traveller and the du’a of an oppressed person”

Answer:

Imams Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah (rahimahumallah) have recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 1531, Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 3862)

Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has recorded the narration with slight variation in the wording.

(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1905, 3448)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
