سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْغُسْلِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى عَبْدٍ أَوْ حُرٍّ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘On Friday Ghusl (bath) is obligatory on men and women at home, and on men also on a journey; but it is not obligatory on women on a journey.’ In another Hadith it is said that women have exemption while on a journey, due to scarcity of water.”
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
الْغُسْلُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ فِي الْحَضَرِ وَعَلَى الرِّجَالِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَلَيْسَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فِي السَّفَرِ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى أَنَّهُ رُخِّصَ لِلنِّسَاءِ فِي السَّفَرِ لِقِلَّةِ الْمَاءِ.

“I asked abu al-Hassan, al-Awwal (a.s.), how did Ghusl (bath) for Friday become obligatory? He (the Imam) said, ‘Allah, most Blessed, most High, has completed obligatory Salah (prayer) with optional ones. He has completed obligatory fasting with optional fast. He has completed obligatory Wudu’ with Ghusl (bath) on Friday in case a mistake, shortcoming, forgetfulness or flaws may take place (in such Wudu’).”’
4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الأوَّلَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) كَيْفَ صَارَ غُسْلُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاجِباً فَقَالَ إِنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَتَمَّ صَلاَةَ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِصَلاَةِ النَّافِلَةِ وَأَتَمَّ صِيَامَ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِصِيَامِ النَّافِلَةِ وَأَتَمَّ وُضُوءَ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِغُسْلِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ مَا كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ سَهْوٍ أَوْ تَقْصِيرٍ أَوْ نِسْيَانٍ أَوْ نُقْصَانٍ.

5. A number of our people have narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmar from ‘Abd Allah ibn Hammad al-Ansariy from Sabbah al- Muzniy from al-Harith ibn Hasirah from al-Asbagh who has said the following
“When ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), wanted to reprimand a person he (the Imam) would say, ‘By Allah, your failure is greater than one who fails to take Ghusl (bath) on Friday. It certainly is Tahur (cleansing) until next Friday.’”
5ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الأحْمَرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الأنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ صَبَّاحٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ حَصِيرَةَ عَنِ الأصْبَغِ قَالَ
كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوَبِّخَ الرَّجُلَ يَقُولُ وَالله لأَنْتَ أَعْجَزُ مِنَ التَّارِكِ الْغُسْلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَزَالُ فِي طُهْرٍ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الأخْرَى.

6ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أُمِّهِ وَأُمِّ أَحْمَدَ بِنْتِ مُوسَى قَالَتَا كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) بِالْبَادِيَةِ وَنَحْنُ نُرِيدُ بَغْدَادَ فَقَالَ
لَنَا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ اغْتَسِلاَ الْيَوْمَ لِغَدٍ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنَّ الْمَاءَ بِهَا غَداً قَلِيلٌ فَاغْتَسَلْنَا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ لِيَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
