Hadith.1200 - Ubayd ibn Zurarah reported from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) regarding a man who joined the prayer with the Imam but had missed one rak'ah. After the Imam concluded the prayer, he left with the people and then remembered that he had missed a rak'ah. Imam (as) said: "He should perform one rak'ah”.

فِي رَجُلٍ صَلَّى بِقَوْمٍ مِنْ حِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ خُرَاسَانَ حَتَّى قَدِمُوا مَكَّةَ فَإِذَا هُوَ يَهُودِيٌّ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيٌّ قَالَ «لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِعَادَةٌ.

Hadith.1201 - In the book of Ziyad ibn Marwan al-Qandi and in the Nawadir of Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, it is narrated that Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said regarding a man who led a group in prayer from the time they left Khurasan until they reached Mecca, and then it was discovered that he was a Jew or a Chris

Hadith.1202 - Ali ibn Ja'far was asked about his brother Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) about a woman leading other women in prayer: "What is the limit of raising her voice in the takbir (saying 'Allahu Akbar') and in recitation?" Imam (as) replied: "To the extent that they can hear her."

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَنْسَى وَ هُوَ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُسَبِّحَ فِي السُّجُودِ أَوْ فِي الرُّكُوعِ أَوْ يَنْسَى أَنْ يَقُولَ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ شَيْئاً قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‌ءٌ[4].

"I asked him about a man who, while praying behind an Imam, forgets to say the tasbih (glorification) during Sujood (prostration) or ruku' (bowing) or forgets to say something between the two prostrations." Imam (as) said: "There is no obligation upon him (no penalty)."

لِرَجُلٍ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي الرَّجُلِ إِذَا فَاتَتْهُ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ قُلْتُ يَقُولُونَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بِالْحَمْدِ وَ سُورَةٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا يُقَلِّبُ صَلَاتَهُ فَيَجْعَلُ أَوَّلَهَا آخِرَهَا قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ يَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ[5]

قَدْ جَازَتْ صَلَاتُهُ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‌ءٌ إِذَا سَهَا خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ وَ لَا سَجْدَتَا السَّهْوِ لِأَنَّ الْإِمَامَ ضَامِنٌ لِصَلَاةِ مَنْ صَلَّى خَلْفَهُ‌[1].

Hadith.1205 - Ammar al-Sabati asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about a man who becomes forgetful while praying behind an Imam after beginning the prayer. He neither said anything, made the takbir (saying 'Allahu Akbar'), glorified (did tasbih), nor recited the tashahhud until the Imam concluded the prayer wi

الْإِمَامُ يَحْمِلُ أَوْهَامَ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ إِلَّا تَكْبِيرَةَ الِافْتِتَاحِ.

Hadith.1206 - Muhammad ibn Sahl narrated from Imam Al-Ridha (as) that He said: "The Imam bears the mistakes (or forgetfulness) of those who pray behind him, except for the opening takbir (takbirat al-ihram)."

لَهُ أَ يَضْمَنُ اَلْإِمَامُ اَلصَّلاَةَ فَقَالَ «لاَ لَيْسَ بِضَامِنٍ.

Hadith.1207 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that when he asked: "Does the Imam guarantee (the correctness of) the prayer?" Imam (as) replied: "No, he is not a guarantor."

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي بِقَوْمٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ قَالَ «يُتِمُّ اَلْقَوْمُ صَلاَتَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ ضَمَانٌ.

"I asked him about a man who leads a congregation for two rak'ahs and then informs them that he was not in a state of wudu' (ritual purity). Imam (as) said: 'The congregation should complete their prayer because the Imam bears no responsibility (for their prayers).'".

وَ قَالَ أَبُو الْمَغْرَاءِ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى‌ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَسَأَلَهُ حَفْصٌ الْكَلْبِيُّ فَقَالَ أَكُونُ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ وَ هُوَ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَأَدْعُو وَ أَتَعَوَّذُ[1] قَالَ نَعَمْ فَادْعُ.

Hadith.1209 - Abu al-Maghra' Humayd ibn al-Muthanna said: "I was with Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) when Hafs al-Kalbi asked him: "When I am behind the Imam and he is reciting aloud, may I make supplications and seek refuge (in Allah (swt))?" Imam (as) said: "Yes, you may supplicate."

مَنْ صَلَّى فِي مَسْجِدِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَى مَسْجِداً مِنْ مَسَاجِدِهِمْ فَصَلَّى مَعَهُمْ‌[3] خَرَجَ بِحَسَنَاتِهِمْ.

"Whoever prays in his own mosque and then goes to one of their mosques and prays with them, he will leave with the reward of their good deeds."

مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُصَلِّي فِي الْوَقْتِ وَ يَفْرُغُ ثُمَّ يَأْتِيهِمْ وَ يُصَلِّي مَعَهُمْ‌[4] وَ هُوَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً.

"There is no servant who prays at the prescribed time, completes it, then joins another group and prays with them while still in a state of wudu' except that Allah (swt) writes for him twenty-five degrees (levels of reward)."

وَ قَالَ لَهُ أَيْضاً إِنَّ عَلَى بَابِي مَسْجِداً يَكُونُ فِيهِ قَوْمٌ مُخَالِفُونَ مُعَانِدُونَ فَهُمْ يُمْسُونَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ[5] وَ أَنَا أُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ أَخْرُجُ فَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تُحْسَبَ لَكَ- بِأَرْبَعٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ صَلَاةً[6].

Hadith.1212 - He also said to Imam (as): "There is a mosque near my door in which there are people who oppose and are hostile. They remain in prayer during the evening, and I pray Asr and then go out and join them in prayer." Imam (as) said: "Would you not be pleased to have it counted for you as twenty-four prayers?".

إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ مَعَهُمْ غُفِرَ لَكَ بِعَدَدِ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ

إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ صَلَاةً وَ أَنْتَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَاخْرُجْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْهَا تَسْبِيحاً[7].

"If you have already prayed and you are in the mosque, and the congregational prayer is established, then if you wish, you may leave, or if you wish, you may pray with them and consider it as a form of tasbih (remembrance and glorification)."

صَلِّ وَ اجْعَلْهَا لِمَا فَاتَ.

Hadith.1215 - Ishaq ibn Ammar narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "Pray and consider it for what you missed."

«إِذَا جَاءَ اَلرَّجُلُ مُبَادِراً وَ اَلْإِمَامُ رَاكِعٌ أَجْزَأَتْهُ تَكْبِيرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لِدُخُولِهِ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ اَلرُّكُوعِ.

Hadith.1216 - Mu'awiyah ibn Sharih reported from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "If a person comes quickly while the Imam is in ruku' (bowing), one takbir (saying 'Allahu Akbar') suffices for him to enter the prayer and perform the ruku'."

كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ صَلَّيْنَا فِي مَسْجِدٍ اَلْفَجْرَ فَانْصَرَفَ بَعْضُنَا وَ جَلَسَ بَعْضٌ فِي اَلتَّسْبِيحِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ اَلْمَسْجِدَ فَأَذَّنَ فَمَنَعْنَاهُ وَ دَفَعْنَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «أَحْسَنْتُمْ اِدْفَعُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَ اِمْنَعُوهُ أَشَدَّ اَلْمَنْعِ» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَإِنْ دَخَلَ جَمَ

“We were with Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) when a man came and said: "We prayed Fajr in the mosque, and some of us left while others stayed for tasbih (glorification). Then, a man entered the mosque and began to give the adhan. We prevented and stopped him from doing that." Abu Abdullah (as) said: "You did wel

Hadith.1218 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Jamil ibn Salih, from Sama’a, from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) regarding a man who was behind the Imam and missed one rak'ah, but then the Imam mistakenly performed five rak'ahs. Imam (as) said: "He (the follower) should make up the missed rak'ah and should not

Hadith.1222 - The Imam (as) said: "The time for the Jumu’ah prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah) is on Jumu’ah at the hour when the sun begins to decline (zawal). Its timing is the same for both travelers and residents and is considered limited (specific). The Asr prayer on Jumu’ah is performed at the time of Dhuhr on other days.

لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ تَدَعَ الْجُمُعَةَ فِي الْمَطَرِ[1].

Hadith.1223 - bd al-Rahman ibn Abi Abdillah narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "There is no harm in leaving the Jumu’ah prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah) due to rain."

تَجِبُ الْجُمُعَةُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَا تَجِبُ عَلَى أَقَلَّ مِنْهُمُ الْإِمَامُ وَ قَاضِيهِ وَ مُدَّعِيَا حَقٍّ وَ شَاهِدَانِ وَ الَّذِي يَضْرِبُ الْحُدُودَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْإِمَامِ‌[2].

"The Jumu’ah prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah) is obligatory upon seven believers: the Imam, his judge, one who claims a right, two witnesses, and the one who executes punishments in front of the Imam. It is not obligatory for fewer than these."

أَوَّلُ وَقْتِ الْجُمُعَةِ سَاعَةَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى أَنْ تَمْضِيَ سَاعَةٌ[1] فَحَافِظْ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَبْدٌ فِيهَا خَيْراً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ. وَ قَالَ أَبِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي رِسَالَتِهِ إِلَيَّ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ إِذَا انْبَسَطَتْ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ قَبْلَ الْمَكْت

"I asked Imam Abu al-Hasan (as) about the Jumu’ah prayer while traveling. What should I recite in them?" Imam (as) said: "Recite in them 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas)."

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «فِي صَلاَةِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ اَلْمُنَافِقِينَ إِذَا كُنْتَ مُسْتَعْجِلاً.

Hadith.1227 - Ja'far ibn Bashir and Abdullah ibn Jabalah narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who reported from Imam Abu Abdullah (as): "I heard him say: 'In the Jumu’ah prayer, there is no problem in reciting other than Surah al-Jumu'ah and Surah al-Munafiqun if you are in a hurry.'"

وَ كَانَ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع يَتَهَيَّأُ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ لِلْجُمُعَةِ[3].

Hadith.1228 - Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) used to prepare on Thursday for the Jumu’ah prayer.

وَقْتُ الْجُمُعَةِ زَوَالُ الشَّمْسِ وَ وَقْتُ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ فِي السَّفَرِ زَوَالُ الشَّمْسِ وَ وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْحَضَرِ نَحْوٌ مِنْ وَقْتِ الظُّهْرِ فِي غَيْرِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.

Hadith.1229 - Al-Halabi narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "The time for the Jumu’ah prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah) is at the sun's decline (zawal), and the time for the Dhuhr prayer while traveling is also at the sun's decline. The time for the Asr prayer on Jumu’ah for those who are not trav

وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‌ لَا كَلَامَ وَ الْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ وَ لَا الْتِفَاتَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَحِلُّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ[1] وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْخُطْبَتَيْنِ جُعِلَتَا مَكَانَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ فَهِيَ‌[2] صَلَاةٌ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ الْإِمَامُ‌[3].

Hadith.1230 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "There is to be no speaking while the Imam is delivering the sermon, and no turning around except as is permissible during prayer. The Jumu’ah prayer was made two rak'ahs because of the two sermons, which have taken the place of the last two

لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا فَرَغَ الْإِمَامُ مِنَ الْخُطْبَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ- مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ تُقَامَ الصَّلَاةُ[4] وَ إِنْ سَمِعَ الْقِرَاءَةَ أَوْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَجْزَأَهُ.

"There is no harm if a person speaks after the Imam has finished the sermon on Jumu’ah, during the time between the sermon and the establishment of the prayer, whether he hears the recitation (during the prayer) or not; it is sufficient for him."

صَلَاةُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ رَكْعَتَانِ فَمَنْ صَلَّى وَحْدَهُ فَهِيَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ‌[5].

"The Jumu’ah prayer with the Imam consists of two rak'ahs, but whoever prays it alone, it is four rak'ahs."

سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي اَلْجُمُعَةَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ أَ يَجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَ اَلْقُنُوتُ فِي اَلثَّانِيَةِ.

"Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a man who prays the Jumu’ah prayer as four rak'ahs. Should he recite aloud? Imam (as) replied: "Yes, and there is Qunoot (a supplication) in the second rak'ah."

إِذَا أَدْرَكَ الرَّجُلُ رَكْعَةً فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْجُمُعَةَ[8] وَ إِنْ فَاتَتْهُ فَلْيُصَلِّ أَرْبَعاً[9].

"If a person catches one rak'ah (of the Jumu’ah prayer), he has caught the Jumu’ah prayer. If he misses it, he should pray four (rak'ahs)."

إِذَا أَدْرَكْتَ الْإِمَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ الرَّكْعَةَ الْأَخِيرَةَ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ بَعْدَ مَا رَكَعَ فَهِيَ أَرْبَعٌ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الظُّهْرِ[1].

"If you join the Imam before he bows in the last rak'ah, you have caught the (Jumu’ah) prayer. But if you join him after he has bowed, then it is considered as four rak'ahs, like the Dhuhr prayer."

يَرْكَعُ وَ يَسْجُدُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فِي الصَّفِّ وَ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ.

Hadith.1236 - Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj narrated from Imam Abu al-Hasan (as) regarding a man who prayed in congregation on Jumu’ah. When the Imam bowed, the crowd pushed him against a wall or pillar, preventing him from bowing or prostrating until the people raised their heads. He asked if he should bow, then prostra

"I heard Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) say regarding a man who attended the Jumu’ah prayer, but due to crowding, he joined the Imam, performed the takbir, and bowed, but was unable to prostrate. When the Imam and the people stood for the second rak'ah, he stood with them. When the Imam bowed, the man was again

لَيْسَ فِي السَّفَرِ جُمُعَةٌ وَ لَا فِطْرٌ وَ لَا أَضْحًى‌[3].

"There is no Jumu’ah prayer, Eid al-Fitr prayer, or Eid al-Adha prayer while traveling."

Hadith.1239 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, calls out every Thursday night (the night of Jumu’ah) from above His Throne, from the beginning of the night until its end: 'Is there not a believing servant who calls upon Me concerning

“I said to Imam al-Ridha (as), "O’ son of the Messenger of Allah (sw), what do you say about the narration that people relate from the Messenger of Allah (sw), that Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, descends to the sky of the world every Jumu’ah night?" Imam (as) replied: "May Allah (swt) curse those who distort words

وَ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّهُ مَا طَلَعَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ فِي يَوْمٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ.

Hadith.1241 - It has been narrated: "There is no day on which the sun rises that is better than Jumu’ah."

مَنْ أَنْشَدَ بَيْتَ شِعْرٍ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَهُوَ حَظُّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ‌[4].
