وَعَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ إِنَّ لِلْجُمُعَةِ حَقّاً وَحُرْمَةً فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُضَيِّعَ أَوْ تُقَصِّرَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَاَلتَّقَرُّبِ إِلَيْهِ بِالْعَمَلِ اَلصَّالِحِ وَتَرْكِ اَلْمَحَارِمِ كُلِّهَا فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ يُضَاعِفُ فِيهِ اَلْحَسَنَاتِ وَيَمْحُو فِيهِ اَلسَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَرْفَعُ فِيهِ اَلدَّرَجَاتِ» قَالَ وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ يَوْمَهُ مِثْلُ لَيْلَتِهِ» قَالَ فَإِنِ اِسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تُحْيِيَهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَاَلدُّعَاءِ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَنْزِلُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى سَمَاءِ اَلدُّنْيَا فَيُضَاعِفُ فِيهِ اَلْحَسَنَاتِ وَيَمْحُو فِيهِ اَلسَّيِّئَاتِ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ وَاسِعٌ كَرِيمٌ»

Translation

From him, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Abdillah ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn al-Hakam, from Aban, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “Indeed, Friday has a right and a sanctity, so beware that you waste it or fall short in anything from the worship of Allah (swt), the Exalted, and in drawing near to Him (azj) through righteous deeds and complete abandonment of all forbidden things. For indeed, Allah (swt) multiplies good deeds in it, and erases evil deeds in it, and elevates ranks in it.” He (Aban) said that Imam (a.s) mentioned: “Indeed, its day is like its night.” Imam (a.s) said: “So if you are able to enliven it with prayer and supplication, then do so. For indeed, your Lord (azj) descends from the beginning of the night of Friday to the heaven of the world, and He (azj) multiplies good deeds in it and erases evil deeds in it. Verily, Allah (swt) is All-Encompassing, Generous.”
