وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَعَلَيْهِ الْجُمُعَةُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا مَرِيض أَو مُسَافر أَوْ صَبِيٌّ أَوْ مَمْلُوكٌ فَمَنِ اسْتَغْنَى بِلَهْوٍ أَوْ تِجَارَةٍ اسْتَغْنَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَاللَّهُ غَنِيٌّ حميد» . رَوَاهُ الدراقطني
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Jabir reported that the Messenger of God said: Friday prayer in congregation is an obligation for everyone who believes in God and the Last Day, except a sick person, a traveller, a child, or an enslaved person. Whoever dispenses with it for amusement or trade, God has no need of him; God is Self-Sufficient and Praiseworthy. Al-Daraqutni transmitted it.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
إِلَّا مَرِيض أَو مُسَافر أَوْ صَبِيٌّ أَوْ مَمْلُوكٌ
The Arabic lists four exceptions, while the English witness adds a woman and an insane person.
Should the translation follow the Arabic list of four, or retain the additional exceptions found in the witness?
