Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ibn Aun says that I wrote a letter to Hazrat Nafi and asked him whether they would gather for the Eid prayer and the Friday prayer, and whether someone would lead them in these prayers? In reply, he wrote to me that they would indeed gather for the Eid prayer and one person would lead them in the Eid prayer, but regarding the Friday prayer, he had no knowledge.
