(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Salama Bin Al Khattab, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy, from Ibrahim Bin Maymoun, from Abdul Muttalib Bin Ziyad, from Aban Bin Taghlib, from Ibn Abu Layli, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far raising it, said, ‘Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said: ‘One who prays Salat with Azaan and Iqama, a row of the Angels will pray behind him, its two ends cannot be seen; and one who prays Salat with an Iqama, an Angel will pray behind him’’. [185]
And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali Majaylawiya, from his uncle, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘One who prays Salat with Azaan and Iqama, two rows of Angels pray behind him; and the one who prays with an Iqama without Azaan, one row (of Angels) will pray behind him’. I said to him-asws, ‘And how much is the measurement of each row? ’
He-asws said: ‘Least of it is what is between the east and the west, and most of it is what is between the sky and the earth’’. [186]
