The Obligation of the Jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt from it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein
وَ رَوَى اَلْأَصْبَغُ بْنُ نُبَاتَةَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: « لَيْلَةُ اَلْجُمُعَةِ لَيْلَةٌ غَرَّاءُ وَ يَوْمُهَا يَوْمٌ أَزْهَرُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَيْلَةَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ، كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ بَرَاءَةً مِنْ ضَغْطَةِ اَلْقَبْرِ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ بَرَاءَةً مِنَ اَلنَّارِ.
Al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah narrated from The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام that He said: "The night of Jumu’ah is a luminous night, and its day is a radiant day. Whoever dies on the night of Jumu’ah, Allah سبحانه وتعالى writes for him immunity from the pressure of the grave, and whoever dies on the day of Jumu’ah, Allah سبحانه وتعالى writes for him immunity from the Fire."
