It was also narrated as marfūʿ by Abū Bakr al-Marwazī in *al-Jumuʿah* (69), al-Dāraquṭnī (1590 and 1591), and al-Bayhaqī 3/173 via the chain of Qabīṣah ibn ʿUqbah, with this isnād.

It was also narrated as marfūʿ by al-Dāraquṭnī (1588) via the chain of Muḥammad ibn al-Faḍl ibn ʿAṭiyyah, from Ḥajjāj ibn Arṭāh, and likewise by al-Dāraquṭnī (1589), and from his chain al-Bayhaqī 3/173 via the chain of al-Walīd ibn Muslim, from Zuhayr ibn Muḥammad — both of them (Ḥajjāj and Zuhayr) narrating from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather. Muḥammad ibn al-Faḍl was accused of lying, Ḥajjāj ibn Arṭāh is weak, and Zuhayr ibn Muḥammad — who is al-Tamīmī — the narration of the people of Syria from him is not sound, because he narrated in Syria from memory and his errors multiplied. Al-Walīd ibn Muslim, the narrator from Zuhayr, is Damascene.

It was also narrated by al-Bayhaqī 3/173–174 via the chain of al-Walīd ibn Muslim, from Zuhayr ibn Muḥammad, from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather, as mawqūf upon him, from his own statement.

It is supported by the ḥadīth of Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Asʿad ibn Zurārah, from his uncle Yaḥyā ibn Asʿad ibn Zurārah, as narrated by Abū Yaʿlā (7167) and others, with the wording: "Whoever hears the call on Friday and does not come — or does not respond — then hears the call and does not come — or does not respond — then hears the call and does not come — or does not respond — Allah, Glorified and Exalted, has sealed his heart, and he is made a heart of a hypocrite." Its chain is ḥasan.

It is also supported by the general import of the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās: "Whoever hears the call and does not respond, there is no prayer for him except with an excuse." It was narrated by Ibn Mājah (793), Ibn Ḥibbān (2064), and others with a ṣaḥīḥ chain, and a similar version has already preceded with the author under number (551).

And by the general import of the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah in Muslim (653) and al-Nasāʾī in *al-Kubrā* (925), with this wording from Abū Hurayrah: He said: A blind man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have no guide to lead me to the mosque. He asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to grant him a concession so that he could pray in his house, and he granted him the concession. When he turned away, he called him and said: "Do you hear the call to prayer?" He said: Yes. He said: "Then respond."

And by the general import of the ḥadīth of Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī in al-Ḥākim 1/246, al-Bayhaqī 3/174, and Abū Nuʿaym in *Akhbār Aṣbahān* 2/342, with the wording: "Whoever hears the call while free and healthy, and does not respond, there is no prayer for him." Its chain is ṣaḥīḥ or strong.

Al-Tirmidhī said following the ḥadīth (507): The scholars differed over upon whom Friday prayer is obligatory. Some said: Friday prayer is obligatory upon the one whom the night overtakes at his dwelling. Others said: Friday prayer is not obligatory except upon the one who hears the call — and this is the view of al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad, and Isḥāq.
