8ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا أَذَّنْتَ وَأَقَمْتَ صَلَّى خَلْفَكَ صَفَّانِ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَإِذَا أَقَمْتَ صَلَّى خَلْفَكَ صَفٌّ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ.
8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that if you recite both Adhan and Iqamah, two rows of angels perform Salah (prayer) behind you. If you recite just Iqamah, only one row of angels performs Salah (prayer) behind you.” (Ahadith 3- 8 are best express in the form of fatwa.)
