قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ كَيْفَ سُمِّيَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَمَعَ فِيهَا خَلْقَهُ لِوَلَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ وَصِيِّهِ فِي الْمِيثَاقِ فَسَمَّاهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِجَمْعِهِ فِيهِ خَلْقَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Musa, from Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Ibn Abu Yafour, from Abu Hamza, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘A man said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘How was the Friday named (as such)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Gathered His<sup>azwj</sup> creatures during it, for the Wilayah of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and his<sup>saww</sup> successor<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Covenant. Thus, He<sup>azwj</sup> Named it as the day of Friday (Jum’a), due to the gathering (Jama’a) of His<sup>azwj</sup> creatures during it’.
