رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "رَكْعَتَانِ يُصَلِّيهِمَا مُتَزَوِّجٌ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ رَكْعَةً يُصَلِّيهِمَا أَعْزَبُ ".

Abdullah ibn Maymun narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) (peace be upon them), who said: "Two units of prayer performed by a married person are better than seventy units of prayer performed by an unmarried person."
