7. Jumuʿah (Friday Prayer)
٧۔ كتاب الجمعة
We used to observe (Jumu'a) prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and then we returned and gave rest to our camels used for carrying water. Hassan[ (one of the narrators) said: I asked Ja'far what time that was. He said.. It is the time when the sun passes the meridian.
كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ فَنُرِيحُ نَوَاضِحَنَا قَالَ حَسَنٌ فَقُلْتُ لِجَعْفَرٍ فِي أَىِّ سَاعَةٍ تِلْكَ قَالَ زَوَالَ الشَّمْسِ
that he asked Jabir b. 'Abdullah when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed Jumu'a prayer. He said: He used to observe prayer, and we then went (back) to our camels and gave them rest. 'Abdullah made this addition in his narration: "Till the sun passed the meridian. and the camels used for carrying water (took rest)."
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَتَى كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْجُمُعَةَ قَالَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ نَذْهَبُ إِلَى جِمَالِنَا فَنُرِيحُهَا زَادَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ يَعْنِي النَّوَاضِحَ
We did not have a siesta or lunch till after the Friday prayer. (Ibn Hajr added: ) "During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
مَا كُنَّا نَقِيلُ وَلاَ نَتَغَدَّى إِلاَّ بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ زَادَ ابْنُ حُجْرٍ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
We used to observe the Friday prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the sun passed the meridian. and we then returned and tried to find out afternoon shadow (of the walls for protecting themselves from the heat of the sun).
كُنَّا نُجَمِّعُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ نَتَتَبَّعُ الْفَىْءَ
We used to observe the Friday prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when we returned we did not find the shadow of the walls in which we could take protection (from the heat of the sun).
كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْجُمُعَةَ فَنَرْجِعُ وَمَا نَجِدُ لِلْحِيطَانِ فَيْئًا نَسْتَظِلُّ بِهِ
