وَ سَأَلَ اَلْحَلَبِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْفِطْرِ وَ اَلْأَضْحَى إِذَا اِجْتَمَعَا يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ «اِجْتَمَعَا فِي زَمَانِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ «مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ اَلْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَأْتِ وَ مَنْ قَعَدَ فَلاَ يَضُرُّهُ وَ لْيُصَلِّ اَلظُّهْرَ» وَ خَطَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ خُطْبَتَيْنِ جَمَعَ فِيهِمَا خُطْبَةَ اَلْعِيدِ وَ خُطْبَةَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ.
Al-Halabi asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) about the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha if they fall on a Jumu’ah. Imam (a.s) said: "This happened during the time of Imam Ali (a.s), and He said: 'Whoever wishes to attend the Jumu’ah prayer may do so, and whoever stays back, it will not harm him, but he should pray the midday (Dhuhr) prayer.' Imam Ali (a.s) delivered two sermons, combining the Eid sermon and the Jumu’ah sermon”.
