Mishkat al-Masabih #1304

Prayer

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَعَلَيْهِ الْجُمُعَةُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا مَرِيض أَو مُسَافر أَوْ صَبِيٌّ أَوْ مَمْلُوكٌ فَمَنِ اسْتَغْنَى بِلَهْوٍ أَوْ تِجَارَةٍ اسْتَغْنَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَاللَّهُ غَنِيٌّ حميد» . رَوَاهُ الدراقطني
Jabir reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Prayer in congregation on Friday is a duty laid on those who believe in God and the last day, except for an invalid, a traveller, a woman, a boy, an insane person, or a slave. If anyone neglects it through sport or trade, God will have nothing to do with him. God is the Independent and Praiseworthy One." Daraqutni transmitted it.
