Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَذْكُرُ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ هُوَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ اَلْمَكْتُوبَةِ إِمَّا رَاكِعاً وَ إِمَّا سَاجِداً فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ اَلْحَالِ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ إِنَّ اَلصَّلاَةَ عَلَى نَبِيِّ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ كَهَيْئَةِ اَلتَّكْبِيرِ وَ اَلتَّسْبِيحِ وَ هِيَ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ يَبْتَدِرُهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ مَلَكاً أَيُّهُمْ يُبَلِّغُهَا إِيَّاهُ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id from Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, about a man who remembers the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, while he is in the obligatory prayer, whether bowing or prostrating, and he sends blessings upon Him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم while in that state. Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, indeed, sending blessings upon the Prophet of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, is like the takbir and the tasbih, and it is ten good deeds, and eighteen angels hasten to deliver it to him, each vying as to who will convey it to him."
