Chapter on the Adhan (Call to Prayer) and the Iqamah

وَعَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :«إِنَّكَ إِذَا أَذَّنْتَ وَ أَقَمْتَ صَلَّى خَلْفَكَ صَفَّانِ مِنَ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَ إِنْ أَقَمْتَ إِقَامَةً بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ صَلَّى خَلْفَكَ صَفٌّ وَاحِدٌ»
Narrated from him from Fadalah from Husayn ibn Uthman from Ibn Muskan from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said to me (Muhammad ibn Muslim): "Indeed, if you give the adhan and the iqamah, 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."
