John Shaqi

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَنْبَغِي لِلْإِمَامِ الَّذِي يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ عِمَامَةً فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَ الصَّيْفِ وَ يَتَرَدَّى بِبُرْدٍ يَمَنِيٍّ أَوْ عَدَنِيٍّ وَ يَخْطُبَ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَ يُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُوصِي بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ صَغِيرَةً ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَ يُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ عَلَى أَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ هَذَا أَقَامَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى بِسُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِسُورَةِ الْمُنَافِقِين.


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is befitting for the prayer leader who addresses the people on the day of Friday that he wears a turban during the winter and the summer, and he should wear either a Yemeni or an Adeny cloak, and he should address while he is standing. He should Praise Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and Laud upon Him<sup>azwj</sup>. Then he should advise with the fearing of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and he should recite a short Chapter from the Quran. Then he should be seated. Then he should be standing, so he should Praise Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and Laud upon Him<sup>azwj</sup>, and send Blessings upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and upon Imams<sup>asws</sup> of the Muslims, and he should seek Forgiveness for the believing men and the believing women. So when he is free from this, the <span class="iTxt">Muezzin</span> should stand, and he (the prayer leader) should pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> with the people (leading them) in two <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>. He should recite in the first with Surah Al-Jummah (Chapter 62), and in the second (<span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>) with Surah Al-Munafiqeen (Chapter 63)’.
