The Obligation of the Jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt from it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein
وَ سَأَلَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ اَلْخَزَّازُ، أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «فَإِذٰا قُضِيَتِ اَلصَّلاٰةُ فَانْتَشِرُوا فِي اَلْأَرْضِ وَ اِبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ اَللّٰهِ» قَالَ «اَلصَّلاَةُ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ اَلاِنْتِشَارُ يَوْمَ اَلسَّبْتِ.
Abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about the verse of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted: "Then when the prayer is ended, disperse in the land and seek Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى bounty" (Surah Al-Jumu'ah 62:10). Imam عليه السلام said: "The prayer is on the day of Jumu’ah, and the dispersal is on the day of Saturday."
