Reward of offering Salaat along with Azaan and Iqamah
2 hadiths أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سَلَمَهَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِیِّ عَنْ مَیْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ زِیَادٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی لَیْلَی عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ یَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِیُّ بْنُ أَبِی طَالِبٍ ع مَنْ صَلَّی بِأَذَانٍ وَ إِقَامَهٍ صلاه [صَلَّی] خَلْفَهُ صَفٌّ مِنَ الْمَلَائِکَهِ لَا یُرَی طَرَفَاهُ- وَ مَنْ صَلَّی بِإِقَامَهٍ صلاه [صَلَّی] خَلْفَهُ مَلَکٌ.
1. For a person who recites Azaan and Iqamah angels would stand in rows behind him. Those rows would be so wide that their ends would be unknown. And the person who offers Salaat after saying Iqamah; an angel would pray behind him.”
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.
2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام 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 عليه السلام replied, “The shortest is from east to west and the longest from earth to heaven.”
