19ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ الأنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ إِقَامَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تُكَبِّرَ وَتَشْهَدَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ.
19. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Aban ibn ‘ Uthman from abu Maryam al-Ansariy who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, say, ‘Women for ‘Iqamah only say Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) and the two testimonies; (I testify that only Allah deserves worship, He is one and has no partners and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger).”’
