Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1065
Narrated byZayd ibn Arqam
Ilyas ibn AbuRamlah ash-Shami
said: I witnessed Mu'awiyah ibn AbuSufyan asking Zayd ibn Arqam: Did you offer
along with the Apostle of Allah (peace
be upon him) the Friday and
'Id prayers synchronised on the same day? He said: Yes. He asked: How did he
do? He replied: He offered the 'Id prayer,
then granted concession to
offer the Friday prayer, and said: If anyone wants to offer it, he may offer.
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1068
Narrated byAbuHurayrah
The Prophet (peace be upon
him) said: Two festivals ('Id and Friday) have synchronised on this day. If
anyone does not want to offer the Friday
prayer, the 'Id prayer is
sufficient for him. But we shall offer the Friday prayer.
*Note:We shall offer it is
stated by Prophet [pbuh] as the recidents pray Jumah
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 1066
Narrated byAbdullah ibn Abbas
Ata' ibn AbuRabah said: Ibn
az-Zubayr led us in the 'Id prayer on Friday early in the morning. When we went
to offer the Friday, he did not come out
to us. So we prayed ourselves
alone. At that time Ibn Abbas was present in at-Ta'if. When he came to us, we
mentioned this (incident) to him. He said:
He followed the sunnah.
* Nite:They were in Taif.
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith
7.479 Narrated byAbu Ubai
Then I witnessed the 'Id with 'Uthman
bin 'Affan, and that was on a Friday. He offered the prayer before the sermon,
saying, "O people! Today you have
two 'Ida (festivals) together,
so whoever of those who live at Al-'Awali (suburbs) would like to wait for the
Jumua prayer, he may wait, and whoever
would like to return (home) is
granted my permission to do so." Then I witnessed (the 'Ida) with 'Ali bin
Abi Talib, and he too offered the 'Id
prayer before the sermon and
then delivered the sermon before the people and said, "Allah's Apostle has
forbidden you to eat the meat of your sacrifices
for more than three
days."
Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 2.131a
Salatul Jumu'ah is an
obligation upon every free, adult, sane, RESIDENT Muslim who has the ability to
attend the salah and does not have a valid
excuse to miss it. Salatul
Jumu'ah, however, is not obligatory on the following:
1. Women and children.
Concerning this category there is no difference of opinion.
2. The person who is ill and
faces hardship if he goes to the mosque, or who fears that his illness will be
increased by going to the mosque, or whose
recovery will be delayed. This
also includes the person who is nursing a very ill person if, especiallay, the
ill person cannot manage in the absence
of the nursing person.Tariq
ibn Shihab reports that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said:
"Al-Jumu'ah is a duty upon every Muslim in the community, save four: a slave,
or a woman, or a child, or a person who is ill." An-Nawawi says thatits
chain is sahih according to the conditions set by al-Bukhari and Muslim. Ibn
Hajr says that more than one person has graded it sahih.
3. For the traveler, even if he
is staying at a certain place during the time of the beginning of salatul
Jumu'ah, it is not obligatory. This is
based on the fact that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam traveled and did not perform the salatul Jumu'ah but only prayed the zuhr and 'asr
together during the time of
the zuhr prayers. The caliphs after him and others also acted in a similar
manner.
4. One who is in debt and
cannot repay his debt and therefore fears that he will be imprisoned, and one
who fears that he will be harmed by an
oppressive ruler: Ibn 'Abbas reports that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "Whoever hears the call to the salah and does not respond to
it [ i.e.,by coming to the
salah], there will be no prayer for him unless he has an excuse." The
people inquired: "O Messenger of Allah, what is a
[valid] excuse?" He
answered: "Fear or illness." This is related by Abu Dawud with a
sahih chain.
5. Environmental restraints
like rain, mud, extreme cold, and so on. Ibn 'Abbas said to the mu'adhdhin on a
rainy day: "When you say 'I testify that
Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah,' do not say 'Come to the prayer,' but say 'Pray in your houses."'
The people objected to that and he told them:
"One better than me did
so [the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam].
Al-Jumu'ah is an obligation
but I dislike that you should go out walking in the mud and slush." Abi
Malih reports that his father had witnessed the day
of Jumu'ah with the Prophet
and it was raining and the people were troubled by their shoes so he ordered
them to pray in their stopping places. This is
related by Abu Dawud and Ibn
Majah. All of these people are not obliged to pray the Friday salah although
they
are obliged to pray the zuhr.
Should one of them pray salatul Jumu'ah, it will still be valid for him or her
and he will no longer be obliged to pray
the zuhr. And the women during
the time of the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam, attended the mosque and used
to pray al-Jumu'ah with him.
Fiqh-us-Sunnah Fiqh 2.145
If the day of 'Id occurs on
Jumu'ah, then salatul Jumu'ah is no longer an obligation upon those who
performed the salatul 'Id.
Zaid ibn Arqam says: "The
Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam prayed the salatul 'id and then he gave an
exemption concerning the Jumu'ah, saying:
'Whoever wishes to pray it may
pray it.'" This is related by the five and al-Hakim. Ibn Khuzaimah calls
it sahih.
Abu Hurairah reports that the
prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "Two festivals have occurred
together on this day of yours. For whosoever
desires, this will suffice for
his salatul Jumu'ah, but we are going to perform salatul Jumu'ah." This is
related by Abu Dawud.
It is preferred for the imam
to perform the Jumu'ah so anyone who wishes to perform it may do so as well as
those who were not able to attend the 'id
prayer. The Prophet sallallahu
alehi wasallam said: "We are going to perform the salatul Jumu'ah."
62:9 O ye who believe! when
the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly) hasten
earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah and leave off
business (and traffic): that
is best for you if ye but knew!
Id prayer is mentioned in
Quran in terms of magnifying & thanking Allah subhanawatala..:
2:185 Pickthall: The month of
Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear
proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion
(of right and wrong). And
whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is
sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same)
number of other days. Allah
desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete
the period, and that ye
should magnify Allah for
having guided you, and that peradventure ye may bethankful.
.................and that ye
should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be
thankful.
In eid prayer we obviously
thank Allah subhanawatala.He guided us by teaching of Prophet pbuh.
Allah knows best.
