60 - بَابُ اللِّبَاسِ الَّذِي تُكْرَهُ الصَّلَاةُ فِيهِ وَمَا لَاتُكْرَهُ

Chapter 60 - The clothes in which the Salāt is disliked, and what is not disliked

1. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلَ زُرَارَةُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الثَّعَالِبِ وَالْفَنَكِ وَالسِّنْجَابِ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنَ الْوَبَرِ؟ فَأَخْرَجَ كِتَاباً زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ إِمْلَاءُ رَسُولِ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : « أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ فِي وَبَرِ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ حَرَامٍ أَكْلُهُ، فَالصَّلَاةُ فِي وَبَرِهِ وَشَعْرِهِ وَجِلْدِهِ وَبَوْلِهِ وَرَوْثِهِ وَكُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ مِنْهُ فَاسِدَةٌ، لَا تُقْبَلُ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةُ حَتّى تُصَلِّيَ فِي غَيْرِهِ مِمَّا أَحَلَّ اللهُ أَكْلَهُ ». ثُمَّ قَالَ: « يَا زُرَارَةُ، هذَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ، فَاحْفَظْ ذلِكَ يَا زُرَارَةُ: فَإِنْ كَانَ مِمَّا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ، فَالصَّلَاةُ فِي وَبَرِهِ وَبَوْلِهِ وَشَعْرِهِ وَرَوْثِهِ وَأَلْبَانِهِ وَكُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ مِنْهُ جَائِزَةٌ إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ ذَكِيٌّ قَدْ ذَكَّاهُ الذَّبْحُ: فَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذلِكَ مِمَّا قَدْ نُهِيتَ عَنْ أَكْلِهِ وَحَرُمَ عَلَيْكَ أَكْلُهُ، فَالصَّلَاةُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ مِنْهُ فَاسِدَةٌ، ذَكَّاهُ الذَّبْحُ أَوْ لَمْ يُذَكِّهِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Bukeyr who said,

‘Zurara asked Abu Abdullahasws about theSalāt in the fur of the fox, and the sheep, and the squirrel, and others. So heasws took out a letter, saying that it was a dictation of Rasool-Allahsaww that theSalāt (is prohibited) in the fur of everything the eating of which is Prohibited - so theSalāt in its fur, and its hair, and its skin, and its urine, and its dung, and its milk; and everything from it is a spoiler - thatSalāt is not Acceptable until you pray in something else from what Allahazwj has Permitted its consumption’.

Then heasws said: ‘O Zurara! This is from Rasool-Allahsaww , therefore memorise that. O Zurara! So if it was from what its flesh can be eaten, so theSalāt in its fur, and its urine, and its hair, and its dung, and its milk, and everything from it, is allowed, when you know that it is pure, the slaughter having purified it. So if it was other than that from what Allahazwj has Forbidden from eating it, and eating it is Prohibited upon you, so theSalāt in everything from it, is a spoiler, whether its slaughter has purified it or not purified it’.1

2. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْعَلَوِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَيْثَمِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ النَّجَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الْفِرَاءِ؟ قَالَ: « كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ـ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِمَا ـ رَجُلاً صَرِداً لَاتُدْفِئُهُ فِرَاءُ الْحِجَازِ: لِأَنَّ دِبَاغَتَهَا بِالْقَرَظِ، فَكَانَ يَبْعَثُ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ، فَيُؤْتى مِمَّا قِبَلَهُمْ بِالْفَرْوِ، فَيَلْبَسُهُ، فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَلْقَاهُ، وَأَلْقَى الْقَمِيصَ الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ، الَّذِي يَلِيهِ، فَكَانَ يُسْأَلُ عَنْ ذلِكَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ لِبَاسَ الْجُلُودِ الْمَيْتَةِ، وَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ دِبَاغَهُ ذَكَاتُهُ ».

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Is’haq Al Alawy, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, from Aysam Bn Aslam Al Najjashy, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about theSalāt in the furs. Heasws said: ‘It was so that Aliasws BinAl-Husayn asws was sensitive to cold. The furs ofAl-Hijaz were not sufficiently (warm) for himasws because its tanning was it with tree sap. So heasws used to send someone toAl-Iraq, and he wo uld come with it from what was accepted to himasws with the furs, and heasws would wear it. So when the (time for)Salāt came up, heasws would remove it and remove the shirt which was underneath it. So heasws was asked about that, and heasws said: ‘The people ofAl-Iraq are consid ering as Permissible, wearing the skins of the dead (animals), and they are claiming that tanning it, purifies it’.2

3. وَبِهذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَبَا الْحَسَنِعليهما‌السلام عَنْ لِبَاسِ الْفِرَاءِ وَالصَّلَاةِ فِيهَا، فَقَالَ: « لَا تُصَلِّ فِيهَا إِلاَّ فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ ذَكِيّاً ». قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَوَلَيْسَ الذَّكِيُّ مِمَّا ذُكِّيَ بِالْحَدِيدِ؟ فَقَالَ: « بَلى إِذَا كَانَ مِمَّا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ ». قُلْتُ: وَمَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْغَنَمِ؟ قَالَ: « لَا بَأْسَ بِالسِّنْجَابِ: فَإِنَّهُ دَابَّةٌ لَاتَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ، وَلَيْسَ هُوَ مِمَّا نَهى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : إِذْ نَهى عَنْ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ وَمِخْلَبٍ ».

And by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws , and AbuAl-Hassan (Musa) asws about wearing the fur and performing theSalāt in it. So heasws said: ‘Do not praySalāt in it unless in whatever was purified (slaughtered) from it’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I asked, ‘Is it not so that the purified is from what is purified by the iron?’ So heasws said: ‘Yes. When it was from the flesh what can be eaten’. I said, ‘And the flesh what (others) can be eaten, apart from the sheep?’ Heasws said: ‘There is no problem with the squirrel, as it is an animal that does not eat flesh, and it is not of that which Rasool-Allahsaww prohibited; hesaww forbade eating everything with a fang (dogtooth) and a claw’.3

4. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « تُكْرَهُ الصَّلَاةُ فِي الْفِرَاءِ إِلاَّ مَا صُنِعَ فِي‌ أَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ، أَوْ مَا عُلِمَتْ مِنْهُ ذَكَاةٌ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘TheSalāt is disliked in the furs except for what is made in the land ofAl-Hijaz, or from that which you know it has been purified (slaughtered)’.4

5. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْعَلَوِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : إِنِّي أَدْخُلُ سُوقَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ـ أَعْنِي هذَا الْخَلْقَ الَّذِينَ يَدَّعُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ ـ فَأَشْتَرِي مِنْهُمُ الْفِرَاءَ لِلتِّجَارَةِ، فَأَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهَا: أَلَيْسَ هِيَ ذَكِيَّةٌ؟ فَيَقُولُ: بَلى: فَهَلْ يَصْلُحُ لِي أَنْ أَبِيعَهَا عَلى أَنَّهَا ذَكِيَّةٌ؟ فَقَالَ: « لَا، وَلكِنْ لَابَأْسَ أَنْ تَبِيعَهَا وَتَقُولَ: قَدْ شَرَطَ لِيَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَيْتُهَا مِنْهُ أَنَّهَا ذَكِيَّةٌ ». قُلْتُ: وَمَا أَفْسَدَ ذلِكَ؟ قَالَ: « اسْتِحْلَالُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ لِلْمَيْتَةِ، وَزَعَمُوا أَنَّ دِبَاغَ جِلْدِ الْمَيْتَةِ ذَكَاتُهُ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْضَوْا أَنْ يَكْذِبُوا فِي ذلِكَ إِلاَّ عَلى رَسُولِ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ».

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Is’haq Al Alawy, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Hilal, from Abdul Rahman Bin AlHajja j who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘I enter the market of the Muslims, I mean these people who are claimingAl-Islam. So I buy the furs from them for the trading, and I am saying to its owner, ‘Is this not purified (slaughtered)?’ So he is saying, ‘Yes’. So is it correct for me that I sell it upon (the stipulation) that it is purified (slaughtered)?’ So heasws said: ‘No. But, there is no problem if you were to sell it and you are saying, ‘It has been stipulated to me by the one whom I bought it from, that it is purified (slaughtered)’.

I said, ‘And what has spoilt that?’ Heasws said: ‘The Permitting by the people ofAl-Iraq of the dea d, and their claiming that tanning a skin of the dead purifies it. Then they are not pleased if they are lying with regards to that against Rasool-Allahsaww ’.5

6. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى وَغَيْرُهُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنْ‌ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، الْمَيْتَةُ يُنْتَفَعُ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ: « لَا ». قُلْتُ: بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم مَرَّ بِشَاةٍ مَيْتَةٍ، فَقَالَ: « مَا كَانَ عَلى أَهْلِ هذِهِ الشَّاةِ إِذْ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعُوا بِلَحْمِهَا أَنْ يَنْتَفِعُوا بِإِهَابِهَا ؟ ». قَالَ: « تِلْكَ شَاةٌ لِسَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ، وَكَانَتْ شَاةً مَهْزُولَةً لَا يُنْتَفَعُ بِلَحْمِهَا، فَتَرَكُوهَا حَتّى مَاتَتْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : مَا كَانَ عَلى أَهْلِهَا إِذْ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعُوا بِلَحْمِهَا أَنْ يَنْتَفِعُوا بِإِهَابِهَا أَنْ تُذَكّى ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya and someone else, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Ali Bin Al Mugheira who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! The dead, can anything be benefitted from it?’ Heasws said: ‘No’. I said, ‘It has reached us that Rasool-Allahsaww passed by a dead sheep, and hesaww said: ‘What was upon the owners of this sheep? If they were not benefitting by its flesh, they could have benefitted by its skin?’ Heasws said: ‘That sheep belonged to Sawda Bint Zam’a, a wife of the Prophetsaww , and the sheep was skinny, they could not have been benefitted from by its flesh, so she had neglected it until it died. So Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘What was upon the owners of this sheep? If they were not benefitting by its flesh, they could have benefitted by its skin?’ – if she had purified (slaughtered) it’.6

7. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا إِلى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي ـ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ ـ: مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْفَرْوِ يُشْتَرى مِنَ السُّوقِ؟ فَقَالَ: « إِذَا كَانَ مَضْمُوناً، فَلَا بَأْسَ ».

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Mahziyra, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn Al Ashary who said,

‘One of our companions wrote to Abu Ja’farasws the 2nd, ‘What are youasws saying regarding the furs, and can one buy it from the market?’ So heasws said: ‘When it was guaranteed (that it had been slaughtered), so there is no problem’.7

8. أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ سَأَلَ الْمَاضِيَعليه‌السلام عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الثَّعَالِبِ، فَنَهى عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِيهَا، وَفِي الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي يَلِيهَا، فَلَمْ أَدْرِ أَيُّ الثَّوْبَيْنِ: الَّذِي يَلْصَقُ بِالْوَبَرِ، أَوِ الَّذِي يَلْصَقُ‌ بِالْجِلْدِ ؟ فَوَقَّعَعليه‌السلام بِخَطِّهِ: « الَّذِي يَلْصَقُ بِالْجِلْدِ ». قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ هذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ، فَقَالَ: « لَا تُصَلِّ فِي الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي فَوْقَهُ، وَلَافِي الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ ».

Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Ali Bin Mahziyar,

(It has been narrated) from a man who askedAl-Maazy asws (7th Imamasws ), about theSalāt in the foxes (furs), but heasws forbade from performingSalāt in it, and in the clothes which are underneath it. So I did not know which of the two clothes – the one which touches the fur or that which touches with the skin. So heasws signed by hisasws handwriting: ‘That which touches with the skin’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And AbuAl-Hassan asws ment ioned that heasws was asked about this problem, so heasws said: ‘You cannot praySalāt in the cloth which is above it, nor in that which is underneath it’.8

9. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ: عِنْدَنَا جَوَارِبُ وَتِكَكٌ تُعْمَلُ مِنْ وَبَرِ الْأَرَانِبِ، فَهَلْ تَجُوزُ الصَّلَاةُ فِي وَبَرِ الْأَرَانِبِ مِنْ غَيْرِ ضَرُورَةٍ، وَلَاتَقِيَّةٍ؟ فَكَتَبَعليه‌السلام : « لَا تَجُوزُ الصَّلَاةُ فِيهَا ».

Ali Bin Mahziyar said,

‘Ibrahim Bin Uqba wrote to himasws , ‘In our presence there are waistbands and socks made from rabbit fur. So is theSalāt allowed in the fur of rabbits, from without a necessity, nor in dissimulation?’ So heasws wrote: ‘TheSalāt is not allowed in it’.9

10. أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍعليه‌السلام أَسْأَلُهُ: هَلْ يُصَلّى فِي قَلَنْسُوَةِ حَرِيرٍ مَحْضٍ، أَوْ قَلَنْسُوَةِ دِيبَاجٍ ؟ فَكَتَبَعليه‌السلام : « لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّلَاةُ فِي حَرِيرٍ مَحْضٍ ».

Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar who said,

‘I wrote to Abu Muhammadasws asking himasws , ‘Can one praySalāt in a hat of pure silk, or a hat of brocade?’ So heasws wrote: ‘TheSalāt is not Permissible in pure silk’.10

11. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْعَلَوِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ فُرَيْتٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْخَزَّازِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، مَا تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فِي الْخَزِّ ؟ فَقَالَ: « لَا بَأْسَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فِيهِ ». فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، إِنَّهُ مَيِّتٌ وَهُوَ عِلَاجِي وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُهُ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « أَنَا أَعْرَفُ بِهِ مِنْكَ ». فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ: إِنَّهُ عِلَاجِي وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَعْرَفَ بِهِ مِنِّي فَتَبَسَّمَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: « أَتَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ دَابَّةٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، أَوْ تُصَادُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، فَتُخْرَجُ، فَإِذَا فُقِدَ الْمَاءُ، مَاتَ؟ ». فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: صَدَقْتَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هكَذَا هُوَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « فَإِنَّكَ تَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ دَابَّةٌ تَمْشِي عَلى أَرْبَعٍ، وَلَيْسَ هُوَ عَلى حَدِّ الْحِيتَانِ، فَيَكُونَ ذَكَاتُهُ خُرُوجَهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ؟ ». فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: إِي وَاللهِ، هكَذَا أَقُولُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « فَإِنَّ اللهَ ـ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالى ـ أَحَلَّهُ، وَجَعَلَ ذَكَاتَهُ مَوْتَهُ كَمَا أَحَلَّ الْحِيتَانَ، وَجَعَلَ ذَكَاتَهَا مَوْتَهَا ».

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Is’haq Al Alawy, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, from Fureyt, from Ibn Abu Yafour who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws when a man from the otter hunters came over to himasws , and he said to himasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! What are youasws saying regarding theSalāt in the otter (fur)?’ So heasws said, ‘There is no problem with theSalāt in it. So the man said to himasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! It is dead, and it is my profession, and I understand it’. So Abu Abdullahasws said to him: ‘Iasws more understanding with it than you do’.

So the man said to him, ‘It is my profession, and there is none more understanding with it than I am’. So Abu Abdullahasws smiled, then said to him: ‘You are saying that it is an animal coming out from the water, or being hunted from the water, so when it comes out and misses the water, it dies’. So he said, ‘Youasws speak the truth, may I be scarified for youasws ! This is how it is’. So Abu Abdullahasws said to him: ‘So you are saying that it is an animal walking upon four, and it is not upon a limit of the fish, so its purification is its exit from the water?’ So the man said, ‘Yes, by Allahazwj ! It is like this’. So Abu Abdullahasws said to him: ‘But Allahazwj Blessed and High has Permitted it, and Made its purification to be (upon) its death, just as Heazwj has Permitted the fish and Made its purification, (upon) its death’.11

12. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ الْأَحْوَصِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَاعليه‌السلام عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي جُلُودِ السِّبَاعِ؟ فَقَالَ: « لَا تُصَلِّ فِيهَا ». قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ: هَلْ يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ فِي ثَوْبِ إِبْرِيسَمٍ؟ فَقَالَ: « لَا ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ismail Bin Sa’ad Al Ahows who said,

‘I asked AbuAl-Hassan Al-Reza asws about theSalāt in the skins of the predatory animals. So heasws said: ‘Do not praySalāt in it’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked himasws , ‘Can the man praySalāt in a silken cloth?’ So heasws said: ‘No’.12

13. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أُكَيْلٍ النُّمَيْرِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَمَعَهُ السِّكِّينُ فِي خُفِّهِ لَايَسْتَغْنِي عَنْهَا، أَوْ فِي سَرَاوِيلِهِ مَشْدُوداً، وَالْمِفْتَاحُ يَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ الضَّيْعَةَ، أَوْ فِي وَسَطِهِ الْمِنْطَقَةُ فِيهَا حَدِيدٌ ؟ قَالَ: « لَا بَأْسَ بِالسِّكِّينِ وَالْمِنْطَقَةِ لِلْمُسَافِرِ فِي وَقْتِ ضَرُورَةٍ، وَكَذلِكَ الْمِفْتَاحُ يَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ، أَوْ فِي النِّسْيَانِ، وَلَابَأْسَ بِالسَّيْفِ، وَكَذلِكَ آلَةُ السِّلَاحِ فِي الْحَرْبِ، وَفِي غَيْرِ ذلِكَ لَاتَجُوزُ الصَّلَاةُ فِي شَيْ‌ءٍ مِنَ الْحَدِيدِ: فَإِنَّهُ نَجَسٌ مَمْسُوخٌ ».

So some of them are saying, ‘You can praySalāt in these for Allahazwj , rather, has Prohibited its drinking’, and some of them are saying, ‘You cannot praySalāt in it’. So heasws wrote: ‘You cannot praySalāt in it, for it is filth’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the one who lends his cloth to the one whom he knows that he eats the catfish, or drinks the wine. So he returns it. Can he praySalāt in it before he washes it?’ Heasws said: ‘He cannot praySalāt in it until he washes it’.40

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked himasws about a man who praysSalāt and in his cloth is a sexual impurity, or blood, until he is free from hisSalāt, then he comes to know’. Heasws said: ‘HisSalāt has passed, and there is nothing upon him’.41

So when it is morning, he looks and there is a sexual impurity in his clothes’. So heasws said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who did not Leave anything except that there is a limit for it. If it was so when he stood (for theSalāt) , he did look but could not see anything, so there is no repeating upon him; but if it was so when he stood (for theSalāt) , he did not (bother to) look, so upon him would be the repeating’.42

Will you not praySalāt? ’ So he said, ‘I do not intend to praySalāt until I return to the house and wash this wine from my clothes’. So I said to him, ‘Is this your opinion or it is something you are reporting?’ So he said, ‘Hisham BinAl-Hakam informed me that he asked Abu Abdullahasws about the fermented drink, so heasws said: ‘Do not drink it, for it is a kind of wine. So when it hits your clothes, so wash it’.50

6. جَمَاعَةٌ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ، عَنِ الْعِيصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنْ رَجُلٍ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاةُ السَّنَةِ مِنْ مَرَضٍ؟ قَالَ: « لَا يَقْضِي ».

A group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Safwan, from Al Ays Bin Al Qasim who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about a man upon whom the (lapse) SunnahSalāts have been accumulated due to illness’. Heasws said: ‘He would not (need to) fulfil’.79

2. عَنْهُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، نَزَلَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ، مَعَهُمْ قَرَاطِيسُ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَأَقْلَامٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَيَجْلِسُونَ عَلى أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ عَلى كَرَاسِيَّ مِنْ نُورٍ، فَيَكْتُبُونَ النَّاسَ عَلى مَنَازِلِهِمُ: الْأَوَّلَ وَالثَّانِيَ حَتّى يَخْرُجَ الْإِمَامُ، فَإِذَا‌ خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ طَوَوْا صُحُفَهُمْ، وَلَايَهْبِطُونَ فِي شَيْ‌ءٍ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ إِلاَّ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ » يَعْنِي الْمَلَائِكَةَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ.

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Hafs Bin Al Bakhtary, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Whenever it is the day of Friday, the Angels of Proximity descend and with them are papers of silver and pens of gold. So they are sitting upon the doors of theMasjid upon chairs of light, and they are recording the people upon their status – the first, the second, until the prayer leader comes out. So when the prayer leader comes out, they are folding up their parchments. And they are not descending regarding anything, from the days except for the day of Friday, meaning the Angels of Proximity’.82

3. أَحْمَدُ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم يَسْتَحِبُّ ـ إِذَا دَخَلَ وَإِذَا خَرَجَ فِي الشِّتَاءِ ـ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذلِكَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ ». وَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « إِنَّ اللهَ اخْتَارَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ شَيْئاً، فَاخْتَارَ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ».

Ahmad, from Al Husayn, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘It was so that Rasool-Allahsaww loved to come over (back from a journey), and when hesaww went out (on a journey) in the winter, that is would happen to be during the night of Friday. And Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Allahazwj Chose something among everything, so Heazwj Chose from the days, the day of Friday’.83

4. وَعَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « السَّاعَةُ الَّتِي يُسْتَجَابُ فِيهَا الدُّعَاءُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مَا بَيْنَ فَرَاغِ الْإِمَامِ مِنَ الْخُطْبَةِ إِلى أَنْ يَسْتَوِيَ النَّاسُ فِي الصُّفُوفِ، وَسَاعَةٌ أُخْرى مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ إِلى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ ».

And from him, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The timing during which the supplication is Answered is the day of Friday what is between the prayer leader being free from the sermon, up to him evening out the people in the rows; and another timing is from the end of the day to the setting of the sun’.84

5. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ: عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَاعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سَيِّدُ الْأَيَّامِ، يُضَاعِفُ اللهُ فِيهِ الْحَسَنَاتِ، وَيَمْحُو فِيهِ السَّيِّئَاتِ، وَيَرْفَعُ فِيهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ، وَيَسْتَجِيبُ فِيهِ الدَّعَوَاتِ، وَيَكْشِفُ فِيهِ الْكُرُبَاتِ، وَيَقْضِي فِيهِ الْحَوَائِجَ الْعِظَامَ، وَهُوَ يَوْمُ الْمَزِيدِ، لِلّهِ فِيهِ عُتَقَاءُ وَطُلَقَاءُ مِنَ النَّارِ، مَا دَعَا بِهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ ـ وَعَرَفَ حَقَّهُ وَحُرْمَتَهُ ـ إِلاَّ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللهِ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهُ مِنْ عُتَقَائِهِ وَطُلَقَائِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهِ وَلَيْلَتِهِ، مَاتَ شَهِيداً، وَبُعِثَ‌ آمِناً، وَمَا اسْتَخَفَّ أَحَدٌ بِحُرْمَتِهِ وَضَيَّعَ حَقَّهُ إِلاَّ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللهِ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ أَنْ يُصْلِيَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتُوبَ ».

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Nasr,

(It has been narrated) from AbuAl-Hassan Al-Reza asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The day of Friday is the chief of the days. Allahazwj Multiplies the good deeds during it and Deletes the sins during it, and Raises the Levels during it, and the supplications are Answered during it, and the worries are Removed during it, and the great needs are fulfilled during it; and it is a day of Allahazwj to Increase during it, the number of emancipated ones and their separation from the Fire.

And none from the people would supplicate in it having recognised its right and its sanctity except that he would have a right upon Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that Heazwj Makes him to be from the emancipated ones and separated ones from the Fire. So if he were to die during its day and its night, he would have died a martyr, and would be Resurrected secure; and none shall take lightly with its sanctity and waste its right except that there would be a right upon Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that Heazwj Causes him to arrive to the Fire of Hell, unless if he repents’.85

6. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبَانٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِنَّ لِلْجُمُعَةِ حَقّاً وَحُرْمَةً، فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُضَيِّعَ أَوْ تُقَصِّرَ فِي شَيْ‌ءٍ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ اللهِ، وَالتَّقَرُّبِ إِلَيْهِ بِالْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ، وَتَرْكِ الْمَحَارِمِ كُلِّهَا: فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُضَاعِفُ فِيهِ الْحَسَنَاتِ، وَيَمْحُو فِيهِ السَّيِّئَاتِ، وَيَرْفَعُ فِيهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ ». قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ: « أَنَّ يَوْمَهُ مِثْلُ لَيْلَتِهِ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تُحْيِيَهَا بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالدُّعَاءِ، فَافْعَلْ: فَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَنْزِلُ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلى‌ سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَيُضَاعِفُ فِيهِ الْحَسَنَاتِ، وَيَمْحُو فِيهِ السَّيِّئَاتِ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ وَاسِعٌ كَرِيمٌ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammd, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘For the Friday there is a right and a sanctity, therefore beware of wasting or being deficient regarding anything from the worship of Allahazwj , and getting closer to Himazwj with the righteous deeds and neglecting the Prohibitions, all of them, for Allahazwj Multiplies the good deeds therein, and Deletes the sins during it, and Raises the Levels during it’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And heasws mentioned that its day is like its night. So if you have the capacity that you spend (all night) in offering theSalāt and the supplications, then do so, as (angels) descends from your Lordazwj during the beginning of the night of Friday from the sky to the world, and Heazwj Multiplies the good deeds during it and Deletes the sins during it, and that Allahazwj Kindness is Vast and Graceful’.86

7. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسى، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: كَيْفَ سُمِّيَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ ؟ قَالَ: « إِنَّ اللهَ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ جَمَعَ فِيهَا خَلْقَهُ لِوَلَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَوَصِيِّهِ فِي الْمِيثَاقِ، فَسَمَّاهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِجَمْعِهِ فِيهِ خَلْقَهُ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Musa, from Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Ibn Abu Yafour, from Abu Hamza,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws , said, ‘A man said to himasws , ‘How was the Friday named (as such)?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Gathered Hisazwj creatures during it, for theWilayah of Muhammadsaww and hissaww successorasws regarding the Covenant. Thus, Heazwj Named it as the day of Friday (Jum’a), due to the gathering (Jama’a) of Hisazwj c reatures during it’.87

8. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، عَنْ‌ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلَيْلَتِهَا؟ فَقَالَ: « لَيْلَتُهَا غَرَّاءُ، وَيَوْمُهَا يَوْمٌ زَاهِرٌ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ يَوْمٌ تَغْرُبُ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ أَكْثَرَ مُعَافًى مِنَ النَّارِ: مَنْ مَاتَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّ أَهْلِ هذَا الْبَيْتِ، كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بَرَاءَةً مِنَ النَّارِ، وَبَرَاءَةً مِنَ الْعَذَابِ: وَمَنْ مَاتَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، أُعْتِقَ مِنَ النَّارِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husay, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Umar Bin Yazeed, from Jabir,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws , said, ‘Heasws was asked about the day of Friday and its night. So heasws said: ‘Its night is honourable and its day is a day of brilliance, and there isn’t a day upon the earth a day wherein the sun sets, more Pardoning from the Fire than it. The one who dies on the day of Friday, recognising the right of the Peopleasws of this Household, Allahazwj would Write for him freedom from the Fire and freedom from the Punishment; and the one who dies on the night of Friday would be Liberated from the Fire’.88

9. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ‌ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « فَضَّلَ اللهُ الْجُمُعَةَ عَلى غَيْرِهَا مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ، وَإِنَّ الْجِنَانَ لَتُزَخْرَفُ، وَتُزَيَّنُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِمَنْ أَتَاهَا، وَإِنَّكُمْ تَتَسَابَقُونَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ عَلى قَدْرِ سَبْقِكُمْ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، وَإِنَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ لَتُفَتَّحُ لِصُعُودِ أَعْمَالِ الْعِبَادِ ».

Muhammad in Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Allahazwj Preferred the Friday over the others from the days and that the Gardens (of Paradise) are decorated and adorned on the day of Friday for the ones who come to it, and you all would be preceding to the Paradise upon a measurement of your preceding to the Friday; and that the Gates of the skies are opened for the ascension of the deeds of the servants’.89

10. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: قَوْلُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ( فَاسْعَوْا إِلى ذِكْرِ اللهِ ) ؟ قَالَ: « اعْمَلُوا، وَعَجِّلُوا: فَإِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُضَيَّقٌ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ، وَثَوَابُ أَعْمَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ عَلى قَدْرِ مَا ضُيِّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَالْحَسَنَةُ وَالسَّيِّئَةُ تُضَاعَفُ فِيهِ ». قَالَ: وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام : « وَاللهِ، لَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم كَانُوا‌ يَتَجَهَّزُونَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ: لِأَنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُضَيَّقٌ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ».

Ali Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Jabir Bin Yazeed,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws , said, ‘I said to himasws , ‘(What about) the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [62:9] then hasten to the Remembrance of Allah?’ Heasws said: ‘Work (do good deeds) and hasten, for it is a busy day for Muslims and the Rewards of the deeds of the Muslims during it are proportional to its business, and the good deeds and the sins are Multiplied during it’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘By Allahazwj ! It has reached me that the companions of the Prophetsaww used to get ready for the Friday, on the day of Thursday, because it is a busy day for the Muslims’.90

11. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ أَوْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليهما‌السلام ، قَالَ: « مَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ بِيَوْمٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَإِنَّ كَلَامَ الطَّيْرِ فِيهِ ـ إِذَا لَقِىَ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً ـ: سَلَامٌ سَلَامٌ، يَوْمٌ صَالِحٌ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaat, from one of his companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws or Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Never does the sun emerge on a day superior than the day of Friday, and the speech of the bird during it when they meet each other is, ‘Peace! Peace! (It is) a devotional day’.91

12. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : السَّاعَةُ الَّتِي فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ، الَّتِي لَايَدْعُو فِيهَا مُؤْمِنٌ إِلاَّ اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ؟ قَالَ: « نَعَمْ، إِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ ». قُلْتُ: إِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يُعَجِّلُ وَيُؤَخِّرُ؟ قَالَ: « إِذَا زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘The timing during the day of Friday in which a Believer would not supplicate except that it would be Answered for him’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, when the prayer leader comes out’. I said, ‘The prayer leader tends to be early and delayed’. Heasws said: ‘When the sun turns (after midday)’.92

13. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « يَا عُمَرُ، إِنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ، نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَلَائِكَةٌ بِعَدَدِ الذَّرِّ، فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ أَقْلَامُ الذَّهَبِ، وَقَرَاطِيسُ الْفِضَّةِ، لَايَكْتُبُونَ إِلى لَيْلَةِ السَّبْتِ إِلاَّ الصَّلَاةَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمْ: فَأَكْثِرْ مِنْهَا ». وَقَالَ: « يَا عُمَرُ، إِنَّ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فِي‌ كُلِّ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ، وَفِي سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ».

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Amro Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Uzafir, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws 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 Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww , therefore frequent in it (recitingSalawat) ’.

And heasws said: ‘O Umaro! It is from the Sunnah that you should send Blessings upon Muhammadsaww and upon the Peopleasws of hissaww Household during every Friday, a thousand times; and in the rest of the days, one hundred times’.93

14. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ: عَنِ الرِّضَاعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَقْصَرُ الْأَيَّامِ؟ قَالَ: « كَذلِكَ هُوَ ». قُلْتُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، كَيْفَ ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ: « إِنَّ اللهَ ـ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالى ـ يَجْمَعُ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ تَحْتَ عَيْنِ الشَّمْسِ، فَإِذَا رَكَدَتِ الشَّمْسُ، عَذَّبَ اللهُ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِرُكُودِ الشَّمْسِ سَاعَةً، فَإِذَا كَانَ‌ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ لَايَكُونُ لِلشَّمْسِ رُكُودٌ، رَفَعَ اللهُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ: لِفَضْلِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَلَا يَكُونُ لِلشَّمْسِ رُكُودٌ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his brother Is’haq Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie,

(It has been narrated) fromAl-Reza asws , said, ‘I said to himasws , ‘It has reached me that the day of Friday is the shortest of the days’. Heasws said: ‘It is like that’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! How can that be so?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and High Gathers the souls of the Polytheists beneath the eye of the sun. So when the sun stagnates, Allahazwj Punishes the souls of the Polytheists by the stagnation of the sun for a while. So when it is the day of Friday, the stagnation does not occur for the sun, Allahazwj Raises the Punishment from them due to the merit of the day of Friday. So the stagnation does not occur for the sun’. 94

1. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَأَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « يَنْبَغِي لِلْإِمَامِ الَّذِي يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ عِمَامَةً فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ، وَيَتَرَدّى بِبُرْدٍ يَمَنِيٍّ أَوْ عَدَنِيٍّ، وَيَخْطُبَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ يَحْمَدُ اللهَ وَيُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يُوصِي بِتَقْوَى اللهِ، وَيَقْرَأُ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ صَغِيرَةً، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ، فَيَحْمَدُ اللهَ وَيُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ، وَيُصَلِّي عَلى مُحَمَّدٍصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم وَعَلى أَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ، فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ هذَا أَقَامَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ، فَصَلّى بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولى بِسُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِسُورَةِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘It is befitting for the prayer leader who addresses the people on the day of Friday that he wears a turban during the winter and the summer, and he should wear either a Yemeni or an Adeny cloak, and he should address while he is standing. He should Praise Allahazwj and Laud upon Himazwj . Then he should advise with the fearing of Allahazwj , and he should recite a short Chapter from the Quran. Then he should be seated.

Then he should be standing, so he should Praise Allahazwj and Laud upon Himazwj , and send Blessings upon Muhammadsaww and upon Imamsasws of the Muslims, and he should seek Forgiveness for the believing men and the believing women. So when he is free from this, the Muezzin should stand, and he (the prayer leader) should praySalāt with the people (leading them) in twoRak’at. He should recite in the first withSurah Al-Jummah (Chapter 62), and in the second (Rak’at) withSurah Al-Munafiqeen (Cha pter 63)’.116

2. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيى، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِذَا خَطَبَ الْإِمَامُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ حَتّى يَفْرُغَ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ خُطْبَتِهِ، وَإِذَا فَرَغَ الْإِمَامُ مِنَ الْخُطْبَتَيْنِ، تَكَلَّمَ مَا‌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ تُقَامَ الصَّلَاةُ، فَإِنْ سَمِعَ الْقِرَاءَةَ أَوْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ، أَجْزَأَهُ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When the prayer leader addresses on the day of Friday, so it is not befitting for anyone that he speaks until the prayer leader is free from his sermon; and when the prayer leader is free from the two sermons, so you can speak in what is between it and the establishment of theSalāt. So whether you can hear the recitation or cannot hear, it would suffice’.117

3. الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ خُطْبَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : أَقَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ، أَوْ بَعْدُ ؟ فَقَالَ: « قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ يَخْطُبُ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي ».

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Usman Bin Isa,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Maryam, from Abu Ja’farasws , said, ‘I asked himasws about the sermon of Rasool-Allahsaww , was it before theSalāt or after it?’ So heasws said: ‘Before theSalāt’ . Hesaww addressed, then he prayedSalāt’ .118

4. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: « أَمَّا مَعَ الْإِمَامِ، فَرَكْعَتَانِ: وَأَمَّا مَنْ يُصَلِّي وَحْدَهُ، فَهِيَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الظُّهْرِ ». يَعْنِي إِذَا كَانَ إِمَامٌ يَخْطُبُ، فَأَمَّا إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِمَامٌ يَخْطُبُ، فَهِيَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَإِنْ صَلَّوْا جَمَاعَةً.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about theSalāt on the day of Friday. So heasws said: ‘As for with the prayer leader, so it is of twoRak’at, and as for the one who prays alone, so it is fourRak’at, at the status ofAl-Zohr – meaning when there was a prayer leader addressing. So as for when there does not happen to be a prayer leader addressing, so it is of fourRak’at, and even if they are praying in a Jam’at’.119

5. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْخَزَّازِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ: عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِعليهما‌السلام ، قَالَ: « الْأَذَانُ الثَّالِثُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِدْعَةٌ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Khazzaz, from Hafs Bin Giyas,

(It has been narrated) from Ja’farasws , from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘The thirdAzan on the day of Friday is an innovation’.120

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Al Halby, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws : ‘Regarding a sermon on the day of Friday, the first sermon – The Praise is for Allahazwj . We Praise Himazwj , and seek Hisazwj Assistance, and we seek Hisazwj Forgiveness, and seek Hisazwj Guidance, and we seek Refuge with Allahazwj from the evils of ourselves and from the sinfulness of our deeds. The one whom Allahazwj Guides, so there is no one to misguide him, and the one whom Allahazwj Lets to stray, so there is no guide for him.

And I testify that there is no god except for Allahazwj Alone, there being no associates for Himazwj ; and I testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww , having Chosen himsaww for Hisazwj Wilayah, and Specialised himsaww with Hisazwj Message, and Honoured himsaww with the Prophet-hood, being a trustee upon Hisazwj Hidden matters, and a mercy for the worlds. And Blessings be upon Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws , and greetings be upon themasws .

I hereby advise you, servants of Allahazwj , and caution you from Hisazwj Retribution, for if Allahazwj was toEmanc ipate someone with theirasws places of salvation, neither would the evil touch them nor would they be grieving, and Heazwj would Honour the ones who fear Himazwj by Saving them from the evil of what they are fearing and Cast upon them the freshness and cheerfulness.

And I hereby encourage you regarding the eternal Benevolence of Allahazwj and I warn you of Hisazwj Retribution there being no interruption for it, nor a salvation for the one whom it is Obligated upon. So neither let the world deceive you nor incline towards it, for it is a house of deception. Allahazwj has Ordained destruction up it and upon its inhabitants. Thus, you should take such provisions from it which would make you be Honoured by Allahazwj with, from the piety and the righteous deeds, for nothing arrives to Allahazwj from the deeds of the servant except for what is sincere from it, nor does Allahazwj Accept except from the pious.

And Allahazwj has Informed you about the status of the one who believe and does righteous deeds, and about the status of the one who denies and works in other than Hisazwj Way [11:103] this is a day on which the people shall be gathered together and this is a day that shall be witnessed [11:104] And We do not Delay it but to an appointed term [11:105] On the Day when it shall come, no soul shall speak except by His Permission, then (some) of them shall be miserable and (others) happy [11:106] So as to those who are miserable, they shall be in the Fire; for them shall be sighing and groaning in it [11:107] Abiding therein so long as the skies and the earth endure, except what your Lord so Desires; surely your Lord Does whatsoever He Wants to [11:108] And as to those who are made happy, they shall be in the garden, abiding in it for as long as the skies and the earth endure, except what your Lord so desires; a gift which shall never be cut off.

We hereby ask Allahazwj Who Gathered us for this gathering that Heazwj Blesses us in this day of ours, and that Heazwj should be Merciful upon us all, Heazwj being Able upon everything. The Book of Allahazwj is the most Truthful of the Hadeeth, and the best of the stories. And Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said [7:204] And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and remain silent, perhaps Mercy may be Shown to you. Thus listening is obedience to Allahazwj and remaining silent is seeking Hisazwj Mercy.

Then recite a Chapter from the Quran and supplicate to your Lordazwj and send Blessings upon the Prophetsaww , and supplicate for the believing men and the believing women. Then be seated for a while. Then you should be standing and saying, ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj . We Praise Himazwj and seek Hisazwj Assistance, and we seek Hisazwj Forgiveness, and we seek Hisazwj Guidance, and we believe in Himazwj , and we Rely upon Himazwj , and we seek Refuge with Allahazwj from our own evils, and from the evilness of our deeds.

The one whom Allahazwj Guides so there is no straying for him, and the one whom Heazwj Lets to stray so there is no guide for him. And I testify that there is no god except for Allahazwj , Alone, there being no associate for Him. And I testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww [9:33] He it is Who sent His Rasool with the Guidance and the Religion of the Truth, in order to prevail it over all Religions, even though the Polytheists may be averse to it, and Made himsaww as a mercy for the worlds, a heralder of glad tidings and a warner, and an inviter to Allahazwj by Hisazwj Permission, and as a radiant lantern. The one who obeys Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww so he has been Guided, and the one who disobeys them both, so he has strayed.

I hereby advise you, servants of Allahazwj , with the fear of Allahazwj . They will benefit, the ones who obey Himazwj , and they will be harmed, the ones who disobey Himazwj . To Himazwj is your return and upon Himazwj is your Reckoning, for the piety is an Advice of Allahazwj among you and among those who were before you. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Says [4:131] and certainly We Enjoined those who were Given the Book before you and (We Enjoin) you too that you should be fear Allah; and if you disbelieve, then surely whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth is Allah's and Allah is Self-sufficient, Praise-worthy Benefit yourselves with the Advice of Allahazwj and necessitate Hisazwj Book, for it is the most eloquent of the Advice, and the best of the Instruction regarding the consequential return. And Allahazwj has Taken the argument, so the one being destroyed would not be destroyed except from proof, nor would a living one live except from proof, and Rasool-Allahsaww had preached that which hesaww had been Sent with. Therefore, necessitate hissaww Advice, and whoever from among you all after himsaww , neglects the two weighty things – the Book of Allahazwj and the Peopleasws of hissaww Household, these two, none would stray if he were to attach himself to these two, nor will he be guided the one who neglects these two.

O Allahazwj ! Send Blessings upon Muhammadsaww , Yourazwj servant and Yourazwj Rasoolsaww , the chief of the Rasoolssa, and the Imamasws of the pious, and a Rasoolsaww of the Lordazwj of the worlds’.

Ali Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Al Qaddah,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Frequent from the (sending of) Blessings upon mesaww during the dark night and the brilliant day, on the night of Friday and the day of Friday’. So heasws was asked, ‘Up to how much is the ‘frequent’?’ Heasws said: ‘Up to one hundred, and whatever exceeds, so it is superior’.140

3. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ، عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « مَا مِنْ شَيْ‌ءٍ يُعْبَدُ اللهُ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ».

Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Hassan, from Al Hassan Bin Al Husayn, from Ali Bin Abdullah, from Yazeed Bin Is’haq, from Haroun Bin Kharjat, from Al Mufazzal,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘There is nothing which Allahazwj is worshipped with on the day of Friday which is more beloved to measws than the (sending of) Blessings upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww ’.141

4. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ رَفَعَهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ: « إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَقُلِ: "اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، الْأَوْصِيَاءِ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ، بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ، وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ": فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَالَهَا فِي دُبُرِ الْعَصْرِ، كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ مِائَةَ‌ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ، وَمَحَا عَنْهُ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ سَيِّئَةٍ، وَقَضى لَهُ بِهَا مِائَةَ أَلْفِ حَاجَةٍ، وَرَفَعَ لَهُ بِهَا مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دَرَجَةٍ ».

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, raising it, said,

‘Heasws said: ‘When you praySalāt of the day of Friday, so say,

‘O Allahazwj ! Send Blessings upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww , the succesorsasws , the ones Pleased with, with the most superior of Yourazwj Blessings, and Bless upon them with the most superior of Yourazwj Blessings, and the greetings be upon himsaww and upon themasws , and the Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings’.

So the one who says it at the end ofAl-Asr (Salāt) , Allahazwj would Write a hundred thousand good deeds for him and Delete a hundred thousand sins from him, and Fulfil a hundred thousand needs for him due to it, and Raise a hundred thousand Levels for him’.142

5. وَرُوِيَ: « أَنَّ مَنْ قَالَهَا سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، رَدَّ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ عَبْدٍ حَسَنَةً، وَكَانَ عَمَلُهُ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مَقْبُولاً، وَجَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَبَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ نُورٌ ».

And it is reported that,

‘(Heasws said): ‘The one who says it seven times, Allahazwj Revert one good deed upon him from every servant, and his deeds during that day would be Acceptable, and he would come on the Day of Judgement, and in front of him would be a Light’.143

6. الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيى، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام يَقُولُ: « يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ فِي دُبُرِ الْغَدَاةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ‌ « الرَّحْمنَ » كُلَّهَا، ثُمَّ تَقُولَ كُلَّمَا قُلْتَ:( فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُما تُكَذِّبانِ ) : لَابِشَيْ‌ءٍ مِنْ آلَائِكَ رَبِّ أُكَذِّبُ ».

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hammad Bin Usman who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘It is recommended that you recite at the end of the day on the day of Friday, (Surah) Al-Rahman (Chapter 55), all of it. Then you should be saying, every time you recited [55:13] Which then of the Favours of your Lord will you two deny?, ‘There is nothing from Yourazwj Favours, Lordazwj , do I deny’.144

7. وَبِهذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « مَنْ قَرَأَ الْكَهْفَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ، كَانَتْ كَفَّارَةَ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ ». قَالَ: وَرَوى غَيْرُهُ أَيْضاً فِيمَنْ قَرَأَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ مِثْلَ ذلِكَ.

And by this chain, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Ayoub Bin Nuh, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The one who recites (Surah) Al-Kahf (Chapter 1 8) during every night of Friday, it would be an expiation for what is between the Friday to the (next) Friday’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And it is reported by others as well regarding the one who recites in on the day of Friday afterAl-Zohr andAl-Asr (Salāt) – similar (Rewards) to that’.145

8. أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام يُبَكِّرُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ حِينَ تَكُونُ الشَّمْسُ قِيدَ رُمْحٍ، فَإِذَا كَانَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ، يَكُونُ قَبْلَ ذلِكَ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: « إِنَّ لِجُمَعِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عَلى جُمَعِ سَائِرِ الشُّهُورِ فَضْلاً، كَفَضْلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عَلى سَائِرِ الشُّهُورِ ».

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Salim, from Ahmad Bin Al Nazar, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir who said,

‘It was so that Abu Ja’farasws used to go to theMasjid on the day of Friday when the sun happened to be of a measure of a spear (the shadow). So when it was the Month of Ramazan, it happened to be before that. And heasws was saying that the Frday of a Month of Ramazan over the Fridays of the rest of the months has a merit like the merit of a Month of Ramazan over the rest of the months’.146

9. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَاسَانِيِّ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام يَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَقَدِ ازْدَحَمَ النَّاسُ، فَكَبَّرَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ وَرَكَعَ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى السُّجُودِ، وَقَامَ الْإِمَامُ وَالنَّاسُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، وَقَامَ هذَا مَعَهُمْ، فَرَكَعَ الْإِمَامُ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ هذَا عَلَى الرُّكُوعِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنَ الزِّحَامِ، وَقَدَرَ عَلَى السُّجُودِ: كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « أَمَّا الرَّكْعَةُ الْأُولى، فَهِيَ إِلى عِنْدِ الرُّكُوعِ تَامَّةٌ، فَلَمَّا لَمْ‌ يَسْجُدْ لَهَا حَتّى دَخَلَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذلِكَ، فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ، إِنْ كَانَ نَوى هذِهِ السَّجْدَةَ الَّتِي هِيَ الرَّكْعَةُ الْأُولى، فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ لَهُ الْأُولى، وَإِذَا سَلَّمَ الْإِمَامُ، قَامَ فَصَلّى رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَيُسَلِّمُ: وَإِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يَنْوِ أَنْ تَكُونَ تِلْكَ السَّجْدَةُ لِلرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولى، لَمْ تُجْزِ عَنْهُ الْأُولى وَلَا الثَّانِيَةُ »

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qasany, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al Minqary, from Hafs Bin Giyas who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying regarding a man who achieved the Friday (Salāt) and the people had thronged. So he exclaimedTakbīr with the pray er leader and performedRukū, and he was not able upon theSajdah, and the prayer leader stood and the people were in the secondRak’at, and this one arose with them. So the prayer leader performedRukū and this one was not able upon theRukū during the secondRak’at due to the overcrowding, and he was able upon theSajdah. How should he deal with it?’

So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘As for the firstRak’at, so it is complete up to theRukū. So when he did not performSajdah to it until he entered into the second (Rak’at) , that did not happen for him. So when he performedSajdah during the second (Rak’at) , if he had intended this to be aSajdah which was in the firstRak’at, so the first (Rak’at) is completed for him. And when the prayer leader offers Salam, he should stand and pray oneRak’at, then he should performSajdah in it, then he should reciteTashahhud, and he should say Salam (greet). And if it was so that he did not intend thatSajdah to be theSajdah for the firstRak’at, the firstRak’at would not be allowed for him, nor would the second (Rak’at) ’.147

10. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ رَفَعَهُ، قَالَ: قِيلَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : يَزْعُمُ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ أَنَّ النُّورَةَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مَكْرُوهَةٌ؟ فَقَالَ: « لَيْسَ حَيْثُ ذَهَبَ، أَيُّ طَهُورٍ أَطْهَرُ مِنَ النُّورَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, raising it, said,

‘It was said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘Some people are claiming that the waxing on the day of Friday is disliked’. So heasws said: ‘This is not where they are going (with it). Which cleanliness is more cleansing than the waxing on the day of Friday?’.148
