12ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) السَّاعَةُ الَّتِي فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ الَّتِي لاَ يَدْعُو فِيهَا مُؤْمِنٌ إِلاَّ اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا خَرَجَ الإِمَامُ قُلْتُ إِنَّ الإِمَامَ يُعَجِّلُ وَيُؤَخِّرُ قَالَ إِذَا زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ.
12. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the hour on Friday in which prayer of a believing person is answered. He replied, ‘Yes, it is the time when the Imam comes out.’ I then said, ‘Imam may come early or late.’ He said, ‘It is when the sun declines toward the west at midday.’”
