Is heard by a friend correct?

It is correct if it is what you intend to say. If you mean that your friend heard something, and then related it to you, you can say that it was heard by a friend. Your friend heard it. If you mean that YOU heard something, and you heard it because your friend told you, then you heard it from a friend.
