Arabic text

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ« أَمَّا مَعَ اَلْإِمَامِ فَرَكْعَتَانِ وَ أَمَّا مَنْ صَلَّى وَحْدَهُ فَهِيَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلظُّهْرِ يَعْنِي إِذَا كَانَ إِمَامٌ يَخْطُبُ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِمَامٌ يَخْطُبُ فَهِيَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ إِنْ صَلَّوْا جَمَاعَةً»

Translation

Muhammad ibn Yaqub from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Uthman ibn Isa from Sama’ah, he said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about the prayer on the day of Friday. Imam (a.s) said: “As for with the (just) imam, then it is two rak’ahs. And as for one who prays alone, then it is four rak’ahs, like the Dhuhr prayer meaning, when there is an (just) imam delivering the sermon. But if there is no (just) imam delivering the sermon, then it is four rak’ahs, even if they pray in congregation.”
