Hadith 134
۞
2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “One who offers Salaat after saying Azaan and Iqamah two rows of angels pray behind him. If a person offers Salaat after saying Iqamah only, one row of angels prays behind him.” The narrator asked, “How wide is that row?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The shortest is from east to west and the longest from earth to heaven.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَمِّی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ صَلَّی بِأَذَانٍ وَ إِقَامَهٍ صلاه [صَلَّی] خَلْفَهُ صَفَّانِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِکَهِ وَ مَنْ صَلَّی بِإِقَامَهٍ بِغَیْرِ أَذَانٍ صَلَّی خَلْفَهُ صَفٌّ وَاحِدٌ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ کَمْ مِقْدَارُ کُلِّ صَفٍّ فَقَالَ أَقَلُّهُ مَا بَیْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ أَکْثَرُهُ مَا بَیْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ.
