The Obligation of the Jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt from it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ اَلْقَرْيَتَيْنِ ثَلاَثَةُ أَمْيَالٍ فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يُجَمِّعَ هَؤُلاَءِ وَ هَؤُلاَءِ وَ لاَ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ اَلْجَمَاعَتَيْنِ أَقَلُّ مِنْ ثَلاَثَةِ أَمْيَالٍ.
Muhammad ibn Muslim narrated from Imam Abu Ja'far عليه السلام who said: "If there is a distance of three miles between two villages, then there is no problem for these and those to gather (for prayer), and there should not be less than three miles between the two congregations”.
