Obligation of Friday Salah (prayer)

6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ فَرَضَ الله عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ خَمْساً وَثَلاَثِينَ صَلاَةً مِنْهَا صَلاَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَرَضَهَا الله فِي جَمَاعَةٍ وَهِيَ الْجُمُعَةُ وَوَضَعَهَا عَنْ تِسْعَةٍ عَنِ الصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ وَالْمَجْنُونِ وَالْمُسَافِرِ وَالْعَبْدِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَالْمَرِيضِ وَالأعْمَى وَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِ فَرْسَخَيْنِ.
6. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from all from Flammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said, ‘From one Friday to the next Friday Allah has made thirty- five Salah (prayer) obligatory. Of these one is made obligatory to be performed in congregation and that is Friday Salah (prayer). He has exempted nine kinds of people: Of such people are children, the elderly, the insane, the travelers, the slaves, the women, people suffering from illness, the blind and those who live beyond two farsakh.’”
