The Obligation of the Jumu’ah Prayer, Its Virtue, Who is Exempt from it, and the Prayer and Sermon Therein

Hadith #38

وَقَالَ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ لاَ يَدَعَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ شَيْئاً مِنَ اَلطِّيبِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ فَيَوْمٌ وَ يَوْمٌ لاَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ فَفِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ لاَ يَدَعُ ذَلِكَ.

Imam al-Ridha said: "It is appropriate for a man to not neglect using some form of fragrance every day; if he cannot, then every other day ; and if he cannot even manage that, then at the very least, he should not neglect it on Jumu’ah’s."
