Hadith 122

(The book) ‘Uddat Al Daie’ –
‘Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘The first timing of the day of Friday (for Salat) is an hour from decline of the sun up to an hour going by. You should preserve upon it, for Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘He will not ask Allah-azwj the Exalted for (something) good, except Allah-azwj the Exalted will Give him’’. [211]
(The book) ‘Junnat Al Amaan’ –
‘From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘One who travels on the day of Friday before the Salat is not safe. Allah-azwj the Exalted will neither Protect him in his journey, nor Replace him regarding his family, nor Sustain him from His-azwj Grace’’. [212]
(The book) ‘Al Uyoun’, and ‘Al Ilal’ – from Abdul Wahid Bin Ubdous, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Quteyba, from Al Fazl Bin Shazan in ‘Al Ilal’ which he reported it, ‘From Al-Reza-asws having said (in argumentation): ‘If he says, ‘Why has the Friday Salat become of two Cycles when it takes place with the prayer leader, and when it takes place without a prayer leader, as two Cycles, two Cycles (four)? ’
It will be said: ‘For various reasons. From these is that the people will be taking steps to the Friday (Salat) from afar, so Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Loved to Lighten from them for the matter of tiredness for coming to it. And from these, the prayer leader will be withholding them for the sermon while they are awaiting for the Salat, and one who awaits the Salat, he is in Salat in the complete ruling. And from these, the Salat with the prayer leader is more complete and more perfect due to his (prayer leader’s) knowledge, and his understanding, and his justice, and his merit. And from these, the Friday (is a day of) Eid, and Salat of the Eid is of two Cycles, and they will not be deficient due to the place of the two sermons’’. If he says, ‘Why has the sermon made to be? ’
It will be said, ‘Because the Friday is a general attendance, so He-azwj Wanted the prayer leader as a cause for preaching to them, and incite them to be in the obedience (of Allah-azwj, and frighten them from the disobedience, and pause them upon what He-azwj Wanted from betterment of their religion and their world, and inform them with what calamities are to come upon them, and from the situations which there is harm and the benefit for them. If he says, ‘Why are two sermons made to be? ’
It will be said: ‘Because one would be for the praising and glorifying and extolling the Holiness of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the other for the needs, and the cautioning, and the warning, and the supplication, and whatever he wants to teach them of His-azwj Commands and His-azwj Prohibition of what is the rectification and the corruption in it’. If he says, ‘Why has the sermon made to be on the day of Friday before the Salat, and has been made in the two Eid(s) to be after the Salat? ’
It will be said, ‘Because the Friday is a permanent matter being in the month repeatedly, and many times during the year. When that is a lot upon the people, they will pray and leave it and will not be staying upon it, and they will disperse away from it. Thus, it has been made to be before the Salat for them to be withheld upon the Salat and they will not disperse nor be going away. And as for the two Eid(s), rather it is twice during the year, and it is mightier than the Friday, and the crowds in it are more, and the people are more desirous regarding it. So even if some of the people were to disperse, their generality will remain, and it isn’t a lot so they would be getting fed up and taking lightly with it’. Al Sadouq said, ‘This Hadeeth has come like this: ‘And the two sermons during the Friday (Salat) and the two Eid(s) is after the Salat, because these two are at the status of the two last Cycles. And the first one to bring forward the two sermons was Usman because of the innovated what he innovated, and the people were not staying for his sermon and they were saying, ‘What will we do with his preaching, and he has innovated what he has innovated! ’ Thus he brought forwards the two sermons for him to pause the people awaiting for the Salat, so t
