The Obligation of the Jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt from it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein

وَ رَوَى هِشَامُ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ شَيْئاً مِنَ اَلْخَيْرِ مِثْلَ اَلصَّدَقَةِ وَ اَلصَّوْمِ وَ نَحْوِ هَذَا قَالَ «يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنَّ اَلْعَمَلَ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ يُضَاعَفُ.
Hisham ibn al-Hakam narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام regarding a man who wishes to perform an act of goodness, such as giving charity or fasting. Imam عليه السلام said: "It is recommended that it be done on Jumu’ah, for deeds performed on Jumu’ah are multiplied."
