1144. THE IMPORTANCE OF FRIDAY PRAYER

(يا أيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إذا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوا إلى‏ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا البَيْعَ ذلِكُم خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ).1

“O you who have faith! When the call is made for prayer on Friday, hurry toward the remembrance of Allah, and leave all business. That is better for you, should you know.”2

3668.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام : صلاةُ الجُمُعَةِ فَريضَةٌ، والاجتِماعُ إلَيها فَريضَةٌ مع الإمامِ، فإن تَرَكَ رَجُلٌ مِن غَيرِ عِلَّةٍ ثلاثَ جُمَعٍ فَقَد تَرَكَ ثلاثَ فَرائضَ، ولا يَدَعُ ثلاثَ فَرائضَ مِن غَيرِ عِلَّةٍ إلّا مُنافِقٌ .9

3668.Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘The Friday prayer is an obligation, and congregating for it in the presence of an Imam10 is an obligation, so if someone misses three Friday prayers without an excuse, it is as if he has abandoned the performance of three obligations, and none but a hypocrite abandons three obligations without an excuse.’11
