THE FRIDAY PRAYER

---

2– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The Friday prayer is the pilgrimage (Hajj) of the poor.’
[al-Da`aawat, p. 37, no. 91]

3– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Whoever attends the Friday prayer faithfully and contentedly is able to resume his work
[immediately thereafter].’
[al-Faqih, v. 1, p. 427, no. 1260]

4– Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘The Friday prayer is an obligation, and congregating for it in the presence of an Imam
[Imam as in one of the twelve divinely appointed Imams (AS) (ed.)] 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.’
[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 89, p. 184, no. 21]

5– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘There must be no talking while the leader of the prayer is giving the sermon, nor looking around except to the extent permissible in the prayer.’
[al-Faqih, v. 1, p. 416, no. 1230]
