قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا عُمَرُ إِنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَلَائِكَةٌ بِعَدَدِ الذَّرِّ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أَقْلَامُ الذَّهَبِ وَ قَرَاطِيسُ الْفِضَّةِ لَا تَكْتُبُونَ إِلَى لَيْلَةِ السَّبْتِ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَأَكْثِرْ مِنْهَا وَ قَالَ يَا عُمَرُ إِنَّ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ فِي سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Amro Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Uzafir, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Umar! Whenever it is the night of Friday, the Angels of the number of particles descend from the sky, in their hands being pens of gold and papers of silver, not writing up to the night of Saturday except for the Blessings upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>, therefore frequent in it (reciting Salawat)’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Umaro! It is from the Sunnah that you should send Blessings upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and upon the People<sup>asws</sup> of his<sup>saww</sup> Household during every Friday, a thousand times; and in the rest of the days, one hundred times’.
