13ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَنْ قَالَ فِي رُكُوعِهِ وَسُجُودِهِ وَقِيَامِهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَتَبَ الله لَهُ بِمِثْلِ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ وَالْقِيَامِ.

Published English translation

13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from his father from the one whom he has mentioned from Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah from his father who has said the following: “If one says during his Ruku‘, sajdah or standing position, ‘Allahumma Salli ‘Ala Muhammad wa ‘Ali Muhammad (O Allah grant Muhammad and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Your cause),’ Allah writes for him the reward for a sajdah, Ruku‘ or standing for worship.”
