2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu Zahir from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad al-Kufi from Yusuf al-Abzari from al-Mufaddal who has said the following.
“One day abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) addressed me with a surname, “O abu ‘Abdallah, –he would address me this way before- and I responded, “Yes, O Imam, here I am.” He said, “Every Friday night it’s a time of happiness for us.” I said, “May Allah increase such a happiness for you. Of what nature is this happiness?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “When Friday night comes the Messenger of Allah arrives to the throne of Allah and the Imams (the leaders who has said the following. possess Divine authority) also arrive there with him and we also arrive with them. Our souls are returned back to our bodies only after receiving very new useful knowledge without which we would already be left without of knowledge.”
2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي زَاهِرٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنْ يُوسُفَ الابْزَارِيِّ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ
قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَكَانَ لا يُكَنِّينِي قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الله قَالَ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ قَالَ إِنَّ لَنَا فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ سُرُوراً قُلْتُ زَادَكَ الله وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَافَى رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) الْعَرْشَ وَوَافَى الائِمَّةُ (عَلَيْهم السَّلام) مَعَهُ وَوَافَيْنَا مَعَهُمْ فَلا تُرَدُّ أَرْوَاحُنَا إِلَى أَبْدَانِنَا إِلا بِعِلْمٍ مُسْتَفَادٍ وَلَوْ لا ذَلِكَ لانْفَدْنَا.
