Explanation of the Book of Friday and the Two Festivals-04b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muslimah narrated to us, Ibn Abi Hazim narrated to us from his father from Sahl with this, and he said: Sunan Ibn Majah 1099.
The Shaykh : This indicates that they used to go early to the Friday prayer, and that they did not get to take a nap or eat lunch until after the Friday prayer. It is well known that lunch after the sun has passed its zenith is not lunch, because the afternoon has arrived; it is closer to dinner than to lunch. However, because they advanced to the prayer and were unable to eat lunch, they did not take a nap or eat lunch until after the Friday prayer.
Some scholars have taken from this that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray the Friday prayer before the sun passed its zenith. However, there is a consideration regarding this, meaning that taking "before the zenith" from the statement "we eat lunch," when lunch does not occur except before the zenith, is questionable. What appears to be the case is that they did not eat lunch because they advanced to the Friday prayer, so the Friday prayer would come and they would pray, and then they would not get to eat lunch until after the Friday prayer. This is what appears to be the case. Yes.
We did not take a Qailulah nor eat Ghada’ until after Friday (prayer).
