Commentary:
"
Maqsurah
'' was an enclosure in a mosque or a place which was made there for the security of rulers.
When Muslim caliphs and rulers used to perform their prayers in congregation, they would occupy this place. The
word "
Friday
" (
Jumu`ah
) has been mentioned here because of the incident reported in it, otherwise, this order
applies to every Salat and is not restricted to Jumu`ah alone. There is a standing order that one must separate the
Fard and the Sunnah of a Salat by some means, like conversation, changing place of the Salat, going out of the
Masjid, etc., as has been mentioned in a Hadith narrated earlier. What Muawiyah has stated here is in the light of
this Hadith
.
