Chapter on the Adhan (Call to Prayer) and the Iqamah
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 6
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا أَذَّنْتَ فِي أَرْضِ فَلاَةٍ وَ أَقَمْتَ صَلَّى خَلْفَكَ صَفَّانِ مِنَ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَ إِنْ أَقَمْتَ وَ لَمْ تُؤَذِّنْ صَلَّى خَلْفَكَ صَفٌّ وَاحِدٌ»
Narrated by al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from Yahya al-Halabi:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: "If you give the adhan and the iqamah in an open, deserted land, two rows of angels will pray behind you. But if you give only the iqamah without the adhan, then one row of angels will pray behind you."
