Hadith 88
۞
13. My father (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashim, on the authority of al-Husayn ibn Yazid al-Nawfali, on the authority of Isma`il ibn Abu Ziyad al-Sakuni, on the authority of Ja`far ibn Muhammad (AS), on the authority of his father (AS) that The
Prophet (SA) completed the funeral prayer for Sa`d ibn Mu`adh, and said: Seventy thousand angels appeared any prayed for him (i.e. prayer of the deceased). Among them was Jibra`il, so I asked him: “O Jibra’il! What did he do to deserve all of your prayers?” He replied: “His recitation of (the chapter) Say: He, Allah is One, standing, sitting, riding, walking, coming and going.”
13 - حدثنا أبي رحمه الله قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن إبراهيم بن هاشم عن الحسين بن يزيد النوفلي، عن إسماعيل بن أبي زياد السكوني، عن جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه عليهما السلام أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله صلى على سعد بن معاذ، فقال
لقد وافى من الملائكة للصلاة عليه سبعون ألف ملك وفيهم جبرئيل يصلون عليه، فقلت: يا جبرئيل بم استحق صلاتكم عليه؟ قال: بقراءة قل هو الله أحد قائما وقاعدا وراكبا وماشيا وذاهبا وجائيا.
