The Obligation of the Jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt from it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein
وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِنَّ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةَ اَلْمُقَرَّبِينَ يَهْبِطُونَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ مَعَهُمْ قَرَاطِيسُ اَلْفِضَّةِ وَ أَقْلاَمُ اَلذَّهَبِ فَيَجْلِسُونَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَبْوَابِ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ عَلَى كَرَاسِيَّ مِنْ نُورٍ فَيَكْتُبُونَ مَنْ حَضَرَ اَلْجُمُعَةَ اَلْأَوَّلَ وَ اَلثَّانِيَ وَ اَلثَّالِثَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ اَلْإِمَامُ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ اَلْإِمَامُ طَوَوْا صُحُفَهُمْ.
Imam عليه السلام said: "Indeed, the close angels descend every Jumu’ah, carrying silver tablets and golden pens. They sit at the doors of the mosques on chairs made of light and write down the names of those who attend the Jumu’ah prayer—the first, the second, and the third—until the Imam comes out. When the Imam comes out, they roll up their scrolls."
