HOW TO OFFER YOUR VOLUNTARY PRAYER AFTER THE JUMMAH PRAYER

1154

“Nafi' the son of Jubair sent him (Amro the son of Ata) to Sa'ib, the son of the sister of Namir to ask him what Mu'awiah had said about his prayer.

Saib told him, ‘I offered the Friday (Jummah) prayer with him in Al-Maqsoora and when the Imam had finished the prayer and said his salams to conclude the prayer, I stood up in my place and offered the voluntary prayer.’

When Mu'awiah entered he sent for me and told me: ‘Never again do what you did just now. Once you have finished the Friday prayer do not proceed immediately with your voluntary prayer until you have either spoken to someone or moved from your place, because the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, instructed us that we should not follow the congregational prayer with the voluntary prayer unless we had either spoken to someone or had moved from our place.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Amro the son of Ata who related this.
