قُلْتُ لَهُ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَاسْعَوْا إِلى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا وَ عَجِّلُوا فَإِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُضَيَّقٌ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ وَ ثَوَابُ أَعْمَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا ضُيِّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ الْحَسَنَةُ وَ السَّيِّئَةُ تُضَاعَفُ فِيهِ قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانُوا يَتَجَهَّزُونَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ لِأَنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُضَيَّقٌ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ .

Ali Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Jabir Bin Yazeed, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘(What about) the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:62#h9"><a href="/books/quran:62#h9">[62:9]</a></a> then hasten to the Remembrance of Allah</span>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Work (do good deeds) and hasten, for it is a busy day for Muslims and the Rewards of the deeds of the Muslims during it are proportional to its business, and the good deeds and the sins are Multiplied during it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! It has reached me that the companions of the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> used to get ready for the Friday, on the day of Thursday, because it is a busy day for the Muslims’.
