وَعَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ كَيْفَ سُمِّيَتِ اَلْجُمُعَةُ بِالْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّوَجَلَّ جَمَعَ فِيهَا خَلْقَهُ لِوَلاَيَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَوَصِيِّهِ فِي اَلْمِيثَاقِ فَسَمَّاهُ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ لِجَمْعِهِ فِيهِ خَلْقَهُ»

Translation

From him, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Musa, from al-Abbas ibn Maruf, from Ibn Abi Najran, from Abdillah ibn Sinan, from Ibn Abi Yafur, from Abu Ja’far (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: A man asked Imam al-Baqir (a.s): “Why was Friday named ‘al-Jumu’ah’ (the gathering)?” Imam (a.s) said: “Indeed, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, gathered His (azj) creation on that day for the allegiance (wilayah) of Muhammad (saws), peace be upon him and his family, and his successor (Imam Ali (a.s)), during the covenant (al-mithaq). So He (azj) named it the ‘Day of Gathering’ (Yawm al-Jumu’ah) because He (azj) gathered His (azj) creation on it.”
