30ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ النَّضْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ سَمِعَ الْمُؤَذِّنَ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ الله فَقَالَ مُصَدِّقاً مُحْتَسِباً وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَأَكْتَفِي بِهِمَا عَمَّنْ أَبَى وَجَحَدَ وَأُعِينُ بِهِمَا مَنْ أَقَرَّ وَشَهِدَ كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الأجْرِ عَدَدُ مَنْ أَنْكَرَ وَجَحَدَ وَمِثْلُ عَدَدِ مَنْ أَقَرَّ وَعَرَفَ.

Published English translation

30. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from al-Harith ibn al-Mughirah al-Nadriy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that one may hear someone recite Adhan and say, ‘I testify that no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and I affirm and acknowledge.’ If he also says, ‘I testify that no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and I consider them both sufficient for me against all who deny and reject these (the two testimonies). I seek assistance from those who affirm and testify to the two testimonies.’ His reward is equal to the number of those who have denied and rejected them and those who have affirmed and testified to these testimonies.”
