بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ وَ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ کَانَ قِرَاءَتُهُ فِی فَرِیضَهٍ لا أُقْسِمُ بِهذَا الْبَلَدِ کَانَ فِی الدُّنْیَا مَعْرُوفاً أَنَّهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِینَ وَ کَانَ فِی الْآخِرَهِ مَعْرُوفاً أَنَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَکَاناً وَ کَانَ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ النَّبِیِّینَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِینَ


1. From the previous chain from al-Hassan from his father and al-Hussain b. Abi al-’Ala from Abi al-’Ala from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s) who said: “One who recites Surah Balad in his obligatory prayers will be a virtuous man in this world. He would be known on the Day of Judgment as a person of high rank near Allah. He would be a friend of prophets, martyrs and virtuous on the Day of Judgment.”
