The Obligation of the Jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt from it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein
وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ قَالَ فِي آخِرِ سَجْدَةٍ مِنَ اَلنَّافِلَةِ بَعْدَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ لَيْلَةَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ إِنْ قَالَهُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ، اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ اَلْكَرِيمِ وَ اِسْمِكَ اَلْعَظِيمِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْبِيَ اَلْعَظِيمَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ اِنْصَرَفَ وَ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ » قَالَ وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «إِذَا كَانَتْ عَشِيَّةُ اَلْخَمِيسِ وَ لَيْلَةُ اَلْجُمُعَةِ نَزَلَتْ مَلاَئِكَةٌ مِنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ مَعَهَا أَقْلاَمُ اَلذَّهَبِ وَ صُحُفُ اَلْفِضَّةِ لاَ يَكْتُبُونَ عَشِيَّةَ اَلْخَمِيسِ وَ لَيْلَةَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى أَنْ تَغِيبَ اَلشَّمْسُ إِلاَّ اَلصَّلاَةَ عَلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ.
Abdullah ibn Sinan narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "Whoever, in the last prostration of a recommended prayer (nafilah) after Maghrib on the night of Jumu’ah—and even better if said every night—recites, 'O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You by Your Noble Face and Your Great Name to bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and to forgive me my great sin,' seven times, will rise having been forgiven." He also said عليه السلام: "When Thursday evening and the night of Jumu’ah arrive, angels descend from the heavens carrying golden pens and silver tablets. They write down nothing from Thursday evening, the night of Jumu’ah, and the day of Jumu’ah until sunset except blessings upon The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم”.
