To study non‐Fourier heat and mass transport in the stagnation point flow of magnetized Oldroyd‐B fluid due to stretching cylinder, the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model is used in this investigation. Further, as the controlling agents for thermal and solutal transport in the fluid flow, the heat generation/absorption source and chemical reaction are also considered. The formulations of a such physical phenomenon are going to form the PDEs. Through appropriate similarity variables, these governing partial differential equations for flow and energy transport are converted into the ordinary differential. The analytical series solutions are obtained through the use of a homotopic approach. The graphical upshots are conducted for velocity fields, temperature, and concentration distributions. In addition, energy transport analysis is performed for two kinds of surface heating mechanisms, namely the prescribed surface temperature (PST) and constant wall temperature (CWT). The outcomes of the current investigation revealed that a higher rate of heat transfer is observed in the case of CWT as compared to PST. Moreover, the increasing values of thermal and solutal relaxation time parameters reduce the heat and mass transport in the fluid flow, respectively.
