The questioner : Is the congregation established?
The Shaykh : The congregation is not established in the mosques, because this resembles multiplying congregations without need. However, he prays in his house, and if he prays in congregation with others in the house, there is no harm.
The Reciter: And Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, and Abu 'Uwanah narrated to us from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn al-Muntashir with this chain of narration.
And 'Amr al-Naqqad narrated to us, and Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated to us from Dhamrah ibn Sa'id from 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah, who said: كتب الضحاك بن قيس إلى النعمان بن بشير يسأله أي شيء قرأ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم الجمعة سوى سورة الجمعة فقال كان يقرأ هل أتاك Al-Dahhak ibn Qays wrote to al-Nu'man ibn Bashir asking him what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited on Friday other than Surat al-Jumu'ah. He said: He used to recite "Has there come to you...".
The Shaykh : The apparent meaning of the hadith is that he is asking what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited on Friday other than Surat al-Jumu'ah. It was said that he used to recite "Has there come to you..."
