The Obligation of the Jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt from it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein
وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَوَّلُ وَقْتِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ سَاعَةَ تَزُولُ اَلشَّمْسُ إِلَى أَنْ تَمْضِيَ سَاعَةٌ فَحَافِظْ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ «لاَ يَسْأَلُ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَبْدٌ فِيهَا خَيْراً إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ».
Imam Abu Ja'far عليه السلام said: "The beginning time for the Jumu’ah prayer is when the sun declines (zawal) until an hour has passed. Maintain it carefully, for the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: 'No servant asks Allah سبحانه وتعالى for good at this time except that He grants it.'"
