The Seventy-Third Assembly, the Assembly of Friday, the Eighth from Jumada al-Ukhra, 368 AH.

Al-Husayn b. Ibrahim b. Natana رحمه الله narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim narrated to us from his father Ibrahim b. Hashim from Hammad b. `Isa from Hariz b. `Abdullah from Zurara b. A`yan from Abi Ja`far al-Baqir عليه السلام. He said: Friday prayer is an obligation and gathering to it with an Imam is an obligation. If a man abandons three Fridays without a reason, he will have abandoned three obligations, and none abandon three obligations without a reason except a hypocrite (munafiq). He عليه السلام said: Whoever abandons the Friday prayer out of desire against it and against the Muslim congregation without a reason, then no prayer is [recorded] for him.
