Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

14
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَلَّى بِأَرْضِ فَلاَةٍ صَلَّى عَنْ يَمِينِهِ مَلَكٌ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ مَلَكٌ فَإِذَا أَذَّنَ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ أَوْ أَقَامَ صَلَّى وَرَاءَهُ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ أَمْثَالُ الْجِبَالِ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibnal-Musayyab used to say, "Whoever prays on waterless, desolate land -an angel prays on his right and an angel prays on his left. When hecalls both the adhan and the iqama for the prayer, or calls out theiqama, angels like mountains pray behind him."
