Hadith 122

hey would not be dispersing away from him. If he says, ‘Why is the Friday (Salat) obligated upon the one being upon two Farsakh(s), not more than that? ’
It will be said, ‘Because of what the Salat will be shortened in are two ‘Bareeds’ going, or a ‘Bareed’ going and coming, and the ‘Bareed’ is of four Farsakh(s). Thus, the Friday (Salat) is obligated upon the one who was upon half the ‘Bareed’ in which the shortening is obligated in, and that is he will be coming two Farsakh(s) and going two Farsakh(s), so that would be four Farsakh(s), and it is half the road of the traveller’. If he says, ‘Why is there an increase of four Cycles of the Sunnah on the day of Friday? ’
It will be said, ‘As reverence of that day, and to differentiate between it and rest of the days’’. [213]
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Arous’ of the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Muhammad Ja’far Bin Ahmad Bin Ali Al Qummi, by his chain from Zurara, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj has Obligated upon the people, from the Friday to the Friday, thirty-five Salat(s). From these is one He-azwj Obligated it in congregation, and it is the Friday, and Dropped it from nine – from the young, and the old, and the insane, and the traveller, and the slave, and the sick, and the woman, and the blind, and one who were to be upon the top (maximum) of two Farsakh(s)’. And it is reported in place of the insane, the lame’. And he-asws said: ‘Salat on the day of Friday is an obligation, and the gathering to it is an obligation with the prayer leader’’. [214]
And from him, by his chain, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When you come across the prayer leader before he has performed the last Ruk’u, so you have attained the Salat, and when you have come across after he has raised his head, so it is four Cycles at the status of Al-Zohr, and its speciality is for the one who attains the last Cycle, he will add another Cycles to it, and his Salat is completed, and he will not take account of what he had missed from listening to the two sermons in place of the two Cycles; while rest of the Salat(s), when he attains the last Cycles, he will add three Cycles to it which he had missed’’. [215]
And from him, by his chain, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘It is befitting for you to pray six Cycles on the day of Friday in the beginning of the day, and six Cycles before the midday, and two Cycles at the midday. When the sun declines, you should pray the obligatory, two Cycles if you were to be with the prayer leader, and if you were to be alone, then four Cycles. Then you should perform Salaam, and pray eight Cycles between Al-Zohr and Al-Asr’. And it is reported, ‘He should pray six Cycles between Al-Zohr and Al-Asr’’. [216]
And from him, by his chain, ‘From Ali son of Ja’far-asws, from his brother-asws, he said, ‘I asked him-asws about the two Cycles of midday on the day of Friday, it is before the Azaan or after it? ’ He-asws said: ‘Before the Azaan’’. [217]
And from him, by his chain, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘You should pray Al-Asr on the day of Friday during timing of Al-Zohr in other than the day of Friday’. And he-asws said: ‘Timing of the Friday Salat is an hour (from) decline of the sun, and its timing during the journey and the residence is one, or it is in the restriction of one timing, when the sun declines (midday)’’. [218]
And from him, by his chain, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Honoured the Momineen with the Friday, so Rasool-Allah-saww enacted it (as Sunnah) as glad tidings for them, and (as for) the hypocrites, as a rebuke for them, and it is not befitting to neglect it. The one who neglects it deliberately, there is no Salat for him’’. [219]
(The book) ‘Al Arous’ – By his chain, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Qunout during the day of Friday, when you were alone, it is in the second (Cycle), and if there was a prayer leader, it is in the first Cycle’’. [220]
And it is reported by Hareez –
‘The Qunout on the day of Friday are two Qunout(s) – a Qunout in the first Cycle before the Ruk’u, and a Qunout in the se
