سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَرَكْعَتَانِ وَ أَمَّا مَنْ يُصَلِّي وَحْدَهُ فَهِيَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الظُّهْرِ يَعْنِي إِذَا كَانَ إِمَامٌ يَخْطُبُ فَأَمَّا إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِمَامٌ يَخْطُبُ فَهِيَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ إِنْ صَلَّوْا جَمَاعَةً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> on the day of Friday. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘As for with the prayer leader, so it is of two <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>, and as for the one who prays alone, so it is four <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>, at the status of Al-Zohr – meaning when there was a prayer leader addressing. So as for when there does not happen to be a prayer leader addressing, so it is of four <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>, and even if they are praying in a <span class="iTxt">Jam’at</span>’.
