Hadith 907
۞
4. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Hamad b. Isa from Hareez and Fudhayl from Zurarah from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said
“Congregation Prayer is compulsory and it is obligatory to offer Friday Salaat in congregation with the Imam. Hence one who does not attend Friday Prayer for three consecutive weeks without any valid reason has avoided three obligatory acts and a person who leaves three obligatory acts without any valid reason is a hypocrite. One who avoids offering Prayer in congregation without any reason, none of his prayers is acceptable.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ حَرِیزٍ وَ فُضَیْلٍ عَنْ زُرَارَهَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ
صَلَاهُ الْجُمُعَهِ فَرِیضَهٌ وَ الِاجْتِمَاعُ إِلَیْهَا فَرِیضَهٌ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَإِنْ تَرَکَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ غَیْرِ عِلَّهٍ ثَلَاثَ جُمَعٍ فَقَدْ تَرَکَ ثَلَاثَ فَرَائِضَ وَ لَا یَدَعُ ثَلَاثَ فَرَائِضَ مِنْ غَیْرِ عِلَّهٍ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ وَ قَالَ مَنْ تَرَکَ الْجَمَاعَهَ رَغْبَهً عَنْهَا وَ عَنْ جَمَاعَهِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ مِنْ غَیْرِ عِلَّهٍ فَلَا صَلَاهَ لَهُ.
