[Machine] "There are three imams for every gathering, and for every forty or more, there is a Friday prayer, and the Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers. This is because they are congregations. This is also what Jafar ibn Burqan narrated from Az-Zuhri, which Abd al-Aziz al-Qurashi relied on, even though he is weak. And this is based on what has passed and what will come, God willing."  

البيهقي:٥٦٠٧أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ يُعْرَفُ بِأَبِي الشَّيْخِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْبَالِسِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقُرَشِيُّ ثنا خُصَيْفٌ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ مَضَتِ السُّنَّةُ

أَنَّ فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثَةٍ إِمَامًا وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ فَمَا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ جُمُعَةٌ وَفِطْرٌ وَأَضْحَى وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُمْ جَمَاعَةٌ وَكَذَلِكَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ الْقُرَشِيُّ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَالِاعْتِمَادُ عَلَى مَا مَضَى وَعَلَى مَا يَرِدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى
