The Obligation of the jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt From it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein
1229 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «وَقْتُ اَلْجُمُعَةِ زَوَالُ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ وَقْتُ صَلاَةِ اَلظُّهْرِ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ زَوَالُ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ وَقْتُ اَلْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فِي اَلْحَضَرِ نَحْوٌ مِنْ وَقْتِ اَلظُّهْرِ فِي غَيْرِ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ.
Hadith.1229 - Al-Halabi narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said:
"The time for the Jumu’ah prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah) is at the sun's decline (zawal), and the time for the Dhuhr prayer while traveling is also at the sun's decline. The time for the Asr prayer on Jumu’ah for those who are not traveling is approximately the same as the Dhuhr prayer on other days."
1230 - وَقَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لاَ كَلاَمَ وَ اَلْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ وَ لاَ اِلْتِفَاتَ إِلاَّ كَمَا يَحِلُّ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَتِ اَلْجُمُعَةُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اَلْخُطْبَتَيْنِ جُعِلَتَا مَكَانَ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ فَهِيَ صَلاَةٌ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ اَلْإِمَامُ.
Hadith.1230 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "There is to be no speaking while the Imam is delivering the sermon, and no turning around except as is permissible during prayer. The Jumu’ah prayer was made two rak'ahs because of the two sermons, which have taken the place of the last two rak'ahs. Therefore, it remains as part of the prayer until the Imam descends (finishes the sermon)."
1231 - وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ اَلرَّجُلُ إِذَا فَرَغَ اَلْإِمَامُ مِنَ اَلْخُطْبَةِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ، مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ تُقَامَ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَ إِنْ سَمِعَ اَلْقِرَاءَةَ أَوْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَجْزَأَهُ.
Hadith.1231 - Al-'Ala narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said:
"There is no harm if a person speaks after the Imam has finished the sermon on Jumu’ah, during the time between the sermon and the establishment of the prayer, whether he hears the recitation (during the prayer) or not; it is sufficient for him."
1232 - وَ رَوَى سَمَاعَةُ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «صَلاَةُ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ مَعَ اَلْإِمَامِ رَكْعَتَانِ فَمَنْ صَلَّى وَحْدَهُ فَهِيَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ.
Hadith.1232 - Sama’a narrated from Imam (as) who said:
"The Jumu’ah prayer with the Imam consists of two rak'ahs, but whoever prays it alone, it is four rak'ahs."
1233 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي اَلْجُمُعَةَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ أَ يَجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَ اَلْقُنُوتُ فِي اَلثَّانِيَةِ.
Hadith.1233 - Hammad ibn Uthman narrated from Imran Al-Halabi, who said:
"Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a man who prays the Jumu’ah prayer as four rak'ahs. Should he recite aloud?
Imam (as) replied: "Yes, and there is Qunoot (a supplication) in the second rak'ah."
1234 - وَ رَوَى اَلْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَلْمَلِكِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَدْرَكَ اَلرَّجُلُ رَكْعَةً فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ اَلْجُمُعَةَ وَ إِنْ فَاتَتْهُ فَلْيُصَلِّ أَرْبَعاً.
Hadith.1234 - Al-Fadl ibn Abd al-Malik narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said:
"If a person catches one rak'ah (of the Jumu’ah prayer), he has caught the Jumu’ah prayer. If he misses it, he should pray four (rak'ahs)."
1235 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَدْرَكْتَ اَلْإِمَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ اَلرَّكْعَةَ اَلْأَخِيرَةَ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكْتَ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ بَعْدَ مَا رَكَعَ فَهِيَ أَرْبَعٌ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلظُّهْرِ.
Hadith.1235 - Al-Halabi narrated from Imam (as) who said:
"If you join the Imam before he bows in the last rak'ah, you have caught the (Jumu’ah) prayer. But if you join him after he has bowed, then it is considered as four rak'ahs, like the Dhuhr prayer."
1236 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ اَلْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ صَلَّى فِي جَمَاعَةٍ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ اَلْإِمَامُ اَلْجَأَهُ اَلنَّاسُ إِلَى جِدَارٍ أَوْ أُسْطُوَانَةٍ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَ لاَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ اَلْقَوْمُ رُءُوسَهُمْ أَ يَرْكَعُ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ وَ يَلْحَقُ بِالصَّفِّ وَ قَدْ قَامَ اَلْقَوْمُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ «يَرْكَعُ وَ يَسْجُدُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فِي اَلصَّفِّ وَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ.
Hadith.1236 - Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj narrated from Imam Abu al-Hasan (as) regarding a man who prayed in congregation on Jumu’ah. When the Imam bowed, the crowd pushed him against a wall or pillar, preventing him from bowing or prostrating until the people raised their heads. He asked if he should bow, then prostrate, and catch up with the row when the people stand, or what he should do.
Imam (as) replied: "He should bow and prostrate, then stand with the row, and there is no issue with that."
1237 - وَ رَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ اَلْمِنْقَرِيُّ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَ اَلْجُمُعَةَ وَ قَدِ اِزْدَحَمَ اَلنَّاسُ فَكَبَّرَ مَعَ اَلْإِمَامِ وَ رَكَعَ وَ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى اَلسُّجُودِ وَ قَامَ اَلْإِمَامُ وَ اَلنَّاسُ فِي اَلرَّكْعَةِ اَلثَّانِيَةِ وَ قَامَ هَذَا مَعَهُمْ فَرَكَعَ اَلْإِمَامُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ هَذَا عَلَى اَلرُّكُوعِ فِي اَلرَّكْعَةِ اَلثَّانِيَةِ مِنَ اَلزِّحَامِ وَ قَدَرَ عَلَى اَلسُّجُودِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا اَلرَّكْعَةُ اَلْأُولَى فَهِيَ إِلَى عِنْدِ اَلرُّكُوعِ تَامَّةٌ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَسْجُدْ لَهَا حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِي اَلرَّكْعَةِ اَلثَّانِيَةِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ فِي اَلثَّانِيَةِ إِنْ كَانَ نَوَى هَاتَيْنِ اَلسَّجْدَتَيْنِ لِلرَّكْعَةِ اَلْأُولَى فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ لَهُ اَلْأُولَى فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ اَلْإِمَامُ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَةً فَسَجَدَ بِهَا ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدَ وَ سَلَّمَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَنْوِي اَلسَّجْدَتَيْنِ لِلرَّكْعَةِ اَلْأُولَى لَمْ تُجْزِ عَنْهُ اَلْأُولَى وَ لاَ اَلثَّانِيَةُ وَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَ يَنْوِيَ أَنَّهَا لِلرَّكْعَةِ اَلْأُولَى وَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَكْعَةٌ تَامَّةٌ يَسْجُدُ فِيهَا.
Hadith.1237 - Sulaiman ibn Dawud al-Minqari narrated from Hafs ibn Ghiyath, who said:
"I heard Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) say regarding a man who attended the Jumu’ah prayer, but due to crowding, he joined the Imam, performed the takbir, and bowed, but was unable to prostrate. When the Imam and the people stood for the second rak'ah, he stood with them. When the Imam bowed, the man was again unable to bow due to the crowding but was able to prostrate. He asked how he should proceed.
Imam (as) said: "As for the first rak'ah, it is complete until the bowing. Since he did not prostrate for it before entering the second rak'ah, it is invalid. When he prostrates in the second rak'ah, if he intended these two prostrations to count for the first rak'ah, then the first rak'ah is complete.
Once the Imam gives the taslim, he should stand and pray another rak'ah, perform its prostration, then recite the tashahhud and taslim.
However, if he did not intend the two prostrations for the first rak'ah, neither the first nor the second rak'ah is valid for him. He must prostrate twice, intending them for the first rak'ah, and then complete a full rak'ah with its prostrations."
1238 - وَ رَوَى رِبْعِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ وَ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ جُمُعَةٌ وَ لاَ فِطْرٌ وَ لاَ أَضْحًى.
Hadith.1238 - Rib'i ibn Abdullah and Fudayl ibn Yasar narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said:
"There is no Jumu’ah prayer, Eid al-Fitr prayer, or Eid al-Adha prayer while traveling."
