An uncle of mine once told me that a rabbi told him that having marital relations on Friday nights is a "double mitzvah," presumably because one would be fulfilling both the obligation to have pleasure (oneg shabbat) and the obligation to be fruitful and multiply (piryah verivryah = procreation). Where is the source for considering this a double mitzvah, doing two mitzvot b'vat achat?

Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 280:1
So the two mitzvot are Oneg Shabat and Onah. If you want to throw in Peru Urvu, all the better! |
