So he -asws said: \u2018Yes.

So he -asws said: \u2018Yes. The sending of Blessings (Salawat) upon the Prophet -saww of Allah -azwj is like the exclamation of Takb\u012br and the Glorification, and it is with ten Rewards. Eighteen Angels manage it to deliver it to him -saww \u2019.

Imam -asws allowed his hands to rest on his thighs, with his fingers close side by side, kept his feet near each other, only leaving between them a distance of three fingers opened up, with his toes facing the direction of Qiblah without allowing them to deviate from this direction and with humbleness said: \u2018\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0623\u064e\u0643\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0631\u064f\u2019\u2019 ‘Allah is Great beyond description.’ \n Imam -asws then recited Al-Hamd (the first Chapter of the Holy Quran) with clarity and fluency and Chapter 112 (Qul ho Wallah ho Ahad) of the Holy Quran.

Imam -asws then paused for a breath while still standing and raised his hands up to the sides of his face and said: \u2018\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0623\u064e\u0643\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0631\u064f\u2019’ while still.

Imam -asws then placed his palms over his knees allowing them to be filled up with his knees that were separate from each other, and pressed them backward until his -asws back became so straight level that even had there been a drop of water or oil it would not flow to any side.
