ذِكْرُ اسْتِحْبَابِ اجْتِمَاعِ الْإِخْوَانِ لِلطَّعَامِ فِي يَوْمٍ بِعَيْنِهِ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ

There was a woman amongst us who had a farm and she used to sow Silq (a kind of vegetable) on the edges of streams in her farm. On Fridays she used to pull out the Silq from its roots and put the roots in a utensil. Then she would put a handful of powdered barley over it and cook it. The roots of the Silq were a substitute for meat. After finishing the Jumua prayer we used to greet her and she would give us that food which we would eat with our hands, and because of that meal, we used to look forward to Friday.  

كَانَتْ فِينَا امْرَأَةٌ تَجْعَلُ عَلَى أَرْبِعَاءَ فِي مَزْرَعَةٍ لَهَا سِلْقًا فَكَانَتْ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ جُمُعَةٍ تَنْزِعُ أُصُولَ السِّلْقِ فَتَجْعَلُهُ فِي قِدْرٍ ثُمَّ تَجْعَلُ عَلَيْهِ قَبْضَةً مِنْ شَعِيرٍ تَطْحَنُهَا فَتَكُونُ أُصُولُ السِّلْقِ عَرْقَهُ وَكُنَّا نَنْصَرِفُ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَنُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهَا فَتُقَرِّبُ ذَلِكَ الطَّعَامَ إِلَيْنَا فَنَلْعَقُهُ وَكُنَّا نَتَمَنَّى يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِطَعَامِهَا ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] There was among us a woman who cultivated a vegetable garden. And whenever it was Friday, she would uproot the roots of the vegetable and put them in a pot, then she would put a handful of barley on top and cook it, and it would become a delicious dish. Sahl said, "So we would go to her after the Friday prayer and greet her, and she would bring that food closer to us. So we used to look forward to the food for that day."  

«كَانَتْ مِنَّا امْرَأَةٌ فِينَا تَجْعَلُ فِي مَزْرَعَةٍ لَهَا سِلْقًا وَكَانَتْ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ تَنْزِعُ أُصُولَ السِّلْقِ فَتَجْعَلُهُ فِي قِدْرٍ ثُمَّ تَجْعَلُ عَلَيْهِ قَبْضَةً مِنْ شَعِيرٍ تَطْبُخُهُ فَيَكُونُ أُصُولُ السِّلْقِ غُرَافَةً» قَالَ سَهْلٌ «فَكُنَّا نَنْصَرِفُ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَنُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهَا فَتُقَرِّبُ ذَلِكَ الطَّعَامَ إِلَيْنَا فَكُنَّا نَتَمَنَّى يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِطَعَامِهَا ذَلِكَ»
