Question:
Asalamualaykum
I was reading the article on the following link and I have one question. When we say ‘Madad ya Shaykh‘ to they hear it directly or is it conveyed by angles?

Answer:
Wa `alaykum salam,
Alhamdulillah, Shaykh Gibril has specifically answered your question
in the link you provided:
As for the questions “How can the Awliyā hear from afar,” and “are
their souls informed directly or indirectly,” and what is the proof:
these questions, strictly speaking, concern the modalities of the
interlife (barzakh) which are of no concern to us. Proofs on the
reality of their hearing and the fact that they are neither unaware
nor uninformed abound in the books devoted to the life of the soul
after death such as Ibn al-Qayyim’s al-Rūh among others.
