The Call to Prayer and the Establishment of Prayer and the Reward of the Muezzins
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اِبْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَلَّى بِأَذَانٍ وَ إِقَامَةٍ صَلَّى خَلْفَهُ صَفَّانِ مِنَ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةِ لاَ يُرَى طَرَفَاهُمَا وَ مَنْ صَلَّى بِإِقَامَةٍ صَلَّى خَلْفَهُ مَلَكٌ.
In a narration from Ibn Abi Layla, Imam Ali عليه السلام said: "Whoever prays with both the adhan (call to prayer) and the iqamah (second call to prayer) will have two rows of angels praying behind him, the ends of which cannot be seen. And whoever prays with only the iqamah will have an angel praying behind him."
