Analogy of congregational prayer to Friday prayer regarding the prohibition of repeating the congregation in the same mosque.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And from the perspective of transmitted evidence, we have found, along with the aforementioned hadith of Abu Hurayrah which says in its first part: — "Treat your neighbor with kindness" — we have found, along with the aforementioned hadith of Abu Hurayrah: Sahih Muslim 652 to the end of the hadith, which includes: — meaning the 'Isha' prayer — and we have found, along with this hadith, a similar hadith regarding Friday prayer, narrated by Imam Muslim in his *Sahih* from the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. He said — peace and blessings be upon him —: So, just as the Messenger — peace and blessings be upon him — said regarding congregational prayer, he said the same thing in full regarding Friday prayer.
And this indicates to us two things. The first thing is that the congregational prayer is obligatory, like the Friday prayer. Naturally, the similarity here does not necessarily have to be one hundred percent; because saying "Zayd is like a lion" means from a certain perspective. So I mean that the congregational prayer is like the Friday prayer in terms of obligation. But obligation has degrees. This is what the hadith indicates first. And secondly, just as the Friday prayer is not repeated in the same mosque, and therefore he intended to burn the houses of those who missed it; so too the congregational prayer is not repeated, and therefore he intended to burn the houses of those who missed it.
I intended
لقد همَمْتُI intend that I should command a person to lead people in prayer
لقد همَمْتُ أن آمر رجلًا فيصلي بالناسThey would have attended it
لَشَهِدَهاI intended to order a man to lead the people in the Friday prayer, and then to set fire to the houses of people who lag behind in the Friday prayer.
لقد همَمْتُ أن آمر رجلًا فيصلي بالناس صلاة الجمعة ، ثم أحرِّق على أناس بيوتهم يتخلَّفون عن صلاة الجمعةAnd this indicates to us two things. The first thing is that the congregational prayer is obligatory, like the Friday prayer.
