2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq says, “One who offers Salaat after saying Azaan and Iqamah two rows of angels pray behind him. If a person offers Salaat after saying Iqamah only, one row of angels prays behind him.” The narrator asked, “How wide is that row?” Imam replied, “The shortest is from east to west and the longest from earth to heaven.”
