حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَبَيْنَ الْكُفْرِ تَرْكُ الصَّلَاةِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Between a person and Kufr (disbelief) is abandoning the prayer.’”

It was narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبَالِسِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الْعَهْدُ الَّذِي بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمُ الصَّلَاةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فَقَدْ كَفَرَ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.’”

‘Abdullah bin Buraidah رضی اللہ عنہ narrated that his father said

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَالشِّرْكِ إِلَّا تَرْكُ الصَّلَاةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا تَرَكَهَا فَقَدْ أَشْرَكَ .

“There is nothing standing between a person and Shirk (polytheism) except leaving the prayer, so if he leaves it he has committed Shirk.”

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ that the Prophet (ﷺ) said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ أَبُو جَنَّابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمُوتُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُشْغَلُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصِلُوا الَّذِي بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ ذِكْرِكُمْ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَثْرَةِ الصَّدَقَةِ فِي السِّرِّ وَالْعَلَانِيَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تُرْزَقُوا وَتُنْصَرُوا وَتُجْبَرُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدِ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فِي شَهْرِي هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مِنْ عَامِي هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فِي حَيَاتِي أَوْ بَعْدِي وَلَهُ إِمَامٌ عَادِلٌ أَوْ جَائِرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اسْتِخْفَافًا بِهَا أَوْ جُحُودًا لَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ شَمْلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا بَارَكَ لَهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَلَا وَلَا صَلَاةَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا زَكَاةَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا حَجَّ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا صَوْمَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا بِرَّ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى يَتُوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَلَا لَا تَؤُمَّنَّ امْرَأَةٌ رَجُلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يَؤُمَّن أَعْرَابِيٌّ مُهَاجِرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يَؤُمَّ فَاجِرٌ مُؤْمِنًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا أَنْ يَقْهَرَهُ بِسُلْطَانٍ يَخَافُ سَيْفَهُ وَسَوْطَهُ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivered a sermon to us and said: ‘O people! Repent to Allah before you die. Hasten to do good deeds before you become preoccupied (because of sickness and old age). Uphold the relationship that exists between you and your Lord by remembering Him a great deal and by giving a great deal of charity in secret and openly. (Then) you will be granted provision and Divine support, and your condition will improve. Know that Allah has enjoined Friday upon you in this place of mine, on this day, in this month, in this year, until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever abandons it, whether during my lifetime or after I am gone, whether he has a just or an unjust ruler, whether he takes it lightly or denies (that it is obligatory), may Allah cause him to lose all sense of tranquility and contentment, and may He not bless him in his affairs. Indeed, his prayer will not be valid, his Zakat will not be valid, his Hajj will not be valid, his fasting will not be valid, and his righteous deeds will not be accepted, until he repents. Whoever repents, Allah will accept his repentance. No woman should be appointed as Imam over a man, no Bedouin should be appointed as Imam over a Muhajir, no immoral person should be appointed as Imam over a (true) believer, unless that is forced upon him and he fears his sword or whip.’”

It was narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ قَائِدَ أَبِي حِينَ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكُنْتُ إِذَا خَرَجْتُ بِهِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَسَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اسْتَغْفَرَ لِأَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَدَعَا لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَكَثْتُ حِينًا أَسْمَعُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ ذَا لَعَجْزٌ إِنِّي أَسْمَعُهُ كُلَّمَا سَمِعَ أَذَانَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِأَبِي أُمَامَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ لِمَ هُوَ؟ فَخَرَجْتُ بِهِ كَمَا كُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ بِهِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ اسْتَغْفَرَ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَتَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَرَأَيْتَكَ صَلَاتَكَ عَلَى أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ كُلَّمَا سَمِعْتَ النِّدَاءَ بِالْجُمُعَةِ لِمَ هُوَ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ بُنَيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ صَلَّى بِنَا صَلَاةَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ مَقْدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فِي نَقِيعِ الْخَضَمَاتِ فِي هَزْمٍ مِنْ حَرَّةِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا .

“I used to guide my father after he lost his sight, and when I took him out for the Friday (prayer), when he heard the Adhan he would pray for forgiveness for Abu Umamah As’ad bin Zurarah رضی اللہ عنہ, and supplicate for him. I heard that from him for a while, then I said to myself: ‘By Allah! What is this weakness? Every time he heard the Adhan for Friday (prayer) I hear him praying for forgiveness for Abu Umamah رضی اللہ عنہ and supplicate for him, and I do not ask him about why he does that.’ Then I took him out for Friday (prayer), as I used to take him out, and when he heard the Adhan he prayed for forgiveness as he used to do. I said to him: ‘O my father! I see you supplicating for As’ad bin Zurarah رضی اللہ عنہ every time you hear the call for Friday; why is that?’ He said: ‘O my son, he was the first one who led us for the Friday prayer before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came from Makkah, in Naqi’ Al- Khadamat (a place near Al-Madinah), in the plain of Harrah Banu Bayadah.’ I asked: ‘How many of you were there at that time?’ He said: ‘Forty men.’”

It was narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Ka’b bin Malik said

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَضَلَّ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْجُمُعَةِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَ لِلْيَهُودِ يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْأَحَدُ لِلنَّصَارَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهُمْ لَنَا تَبَعٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏نَحْنُ الْآخِرُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْأَوَّلُونَ الْمَقْضِيُّ لَهُمْ قَبْلَ الْخَلَائِقِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Allah led those who came before us astray from Friday. Saturday was for the Jews and Sunday was for the Christians. And they will lag behind us until the Day of Resurrection. We are the last of the people of this world but we will be the first to be judged among all of creation.’”

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ابْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سَيِّدُ الْأَيَّامِ وَأَعْظَمُهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ أَعْظَمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فِيهِ خَمْسُ خِلَالٍ:‏‏‏‏ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ آدَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَهْبَطَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ آدَمَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِيهِ تَوَفَّى اللَّهُ آدَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِيهِ سَاعَةٌ لَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا الْعَبْدُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ مَا لَمْ يَسْأَلْ حَرَامًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِيهِ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ مَا مِنْ مَلَكٍ مُقَرَّبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا سَمَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا أَرْضٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا رِيَاحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا جِبَالٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا بَحْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا وَهُنَّ يُشْفِقْنَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ .

“The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Friday is the chief of days, the greatest day before Allah. It is greater before Allah then the Day of Adha and the Day of Fitr. It has five characteristics: On it Allah created Adam; on it Allah sent down Adam to this earth; on it there is a time during which a person does not ask Allah for anything but He will give it to him, so long as he does not ask for anything that is forbidden; on it the Hour will begin. There is no angel who is close to Allah, no heaven, no earth, no wind, no mountain, and no sea that does not fear Friday.’”

It was narrated that Abu Lubabah bin ‘Abdul-Mundhir رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شَدَّاد بْنِ أَوْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ أَيَّامِكُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ:‏‏‏‏ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِيهِ النَّفْخَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِيهِ الصَّعْقَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَكْثِرُوا عَلَيَّ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعْرُوضَةٌ عَلَيَّ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَيْفَ تُعْرَضُ صَلَاتُنَا عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْ أَرَمْتَ؟ يَعْنِي:‏‏‏‏ بَلِيتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ أَجْسَادَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The best of your days is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it the Trumpet will be blown, on it all creatures will swoon. So send a great deal of peace and blessings upon me on that day, for your peace and blessings will be presented to me.’ A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how will our peace and blessings be shown to you when you will have disintegrated?’ He said: ‘Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets.’”

It was narrated that Shaddad bin Aws رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْعَدَنِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ كَفَّارَةُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا مَا لَمْ تُغْشَ الْكَبَائِرُ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “From one Friday to the next is an expiation for whatever was committed in between, so long as one does not commit any major sin.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَوْسُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ غَسَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاغْتَسَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبَكَّرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَابْتَكَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَشَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَرْكَبْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَدَنَا مِنَ الْإِمَامِ فَاسْتَمَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَلْغُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خَطْوَةٍ عَمَلُ سَنَةٍ أَجْرُ صِيَامِهَا وَقِيَامِهَا .

“I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever takes a bath on Friday, and bathes completely, and goes early, arriving early,* and walks and does not ride (to the mosque), and sits close to the Imam and listens to him, and does not engage in idle talk; for every step he takes he will have the reward of one year, the reward of a year’s fasting and praying (at night).”

Aws bin Aws Ath-Thaqafi رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ أَتَى الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ .

“I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say from the pulpit: ‘Whoever comes to Friday, let him take a bath.’”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ ّرَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ غُسْلُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُحْتَلِمٍ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Bath on Fridays is obligatory for every male who has reached the age of puberty.”

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَتَى الْجُمُعَةَ فَدَنَا وَأَنْصَتَ وَاسْتَمَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَزِيَادَةُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ مَسَّ الْحَصَى فَقَدْ لَغَا .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever performs ablution and performs ablution well, then comes to Friday (prayer) and sits near (the Imam), and keeps quiet and listens, he will be forgiven for what was between that and the previous Friday (of sins), and three days more. And whoever touches the pebbles then he has engaged in Laghw (idle talk or behaviour).”

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَبِهَا وَنِعْمَتْ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ الْفَرِيضَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنِ اغْتَسَلَ فَالْغُسْلُ أَفْضَلُ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever performs ablution on Friday, it is well and good for him, and he has done what is obligatory for him. But whoever takes a bath, bath is better.”

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَسَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ كَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مَلَائِكَةٌ يَكْتُبُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَنَازِلِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏الْأَوَّلَ فَالْأَوَّلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ طَوَوْا الصُّحُفَ وَاسْتَمَعُوا الْخُطْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَالْمُهَجِّرُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ كَالْمُهْدِي بَدَنَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ كَمُهْدِي بَقَرَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ كَمُهْدِي كَبْشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الدَّجَاجَةَ وَالْبَيْضَةَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏زَادَ سَهْلٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا يَجِيءُ بِحَقٍّ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When Friday comes, angels stand at every door of the mosque and record the names of the people who come, in order of arrival. When the Imam comes out, they close their records and listen to the sermon. The first one who comes to the prayer is like one who sacrifices a camel; the one who comes after him is like one who sacrifices a cow; the one who comes after him is like one who sacrifices a ram,” (and so on) until he made mention of a hen and an egg. Sahl added in his Hadith: “And whoever comes after that comes only to do his duty with regard to the prayer.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ ضَرَبَ مَثَلَ الْجُمُعَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ التَّبْكِيرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَنَاحِرِ الْبَدَنَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَنَاحِرِ الْبَقَرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَنَاحِرِ الشَّاةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الدَّجَاجَةَ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) described the likeness of Friday, saying that those who come earliest are like the one who sacrifices a camel, then like one who sacrifices a cow, then like one who sacrifices a sheep, until he made mention of a chicken.

It was narrated from Samurah bin Jundab رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَجَدَ ثَلَاثَةً وَقَدْ سَبَقُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَا رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ بِبَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَجْلِسُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى قَدْرِ رَوَاحِهِمْ إِلَى الْجُمُعَاتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏الْأَوَّلَ وَالثَّانِيَ وَالثَّالِثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَا رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ بِبَعِيدٍ .

“I went out with ‘Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ to Friday (prayer), and he found three men who arrived before him. He said: ‘The fourth of four, and the fourth of four is not far away. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “On the Day of Resurrection people will gather near Allah according to how early they came to Friday (prayer), the first, second, and third.’” Then he said: ‘The fourth of four, and the fourth of four is not far away.’”

It was narrated that ‘Alqamah said

حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ:‏‏‏‏ مَا عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ لَوِ اشْتَرَى ثَوْبَيْنِ لِيَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ سِوَى ثَوْبِ مِهْنَتِهِ .

He heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying on the pulpit one Friday: “There is nothing wrong with anyone of you buying two garments for Friday (prayer), other than his daily work clothes.” (Another chain) from Yusuf bin Abdullah bin Salam that his father said: The Prophet delivered a sermon to us and he mentioned that.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Salam رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَأَى عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابَ النِّمَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ إِنْ وَجَدَ سَعَةً أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ ثَوْبَيْنِ لِجُمُعَتِهِ سِوَى ثَوْبَيْ مِهْنَتِهِ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon to the people one Friday, and he saw them wearing woollen clothes. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There is nothing wrong with any one of you, if he can afford it, buying two garments for Friday, other than his daily work clothes.”

It was narrated from ‘Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا that

حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ وَحَوْثَرَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَدِيعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَأَحْسَنَ غُسْلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَطَهَّرَ فَأَحْسَنَ طُهُورَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَبِسَ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ ثِيَابِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَسَّ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ طِيبِ أَهْلِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَتَى الْجُمُعَةَ وَلَمْ يَلْغُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يُفَرِّقْ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever takes a bath on a Friday and does it well, and purifies himself and does it well, and puts on his best clothes, and puts on whatever Allah decrees for him of the perfume of his family, then comes to the mosque and does not engage in idle talk or separate (pushing between) two people; he will be forgiven for (his sins) between that day and the previous Friday.”

It was narrated from Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ غُرَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ السَّبَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمُ عِيدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ كَانَ طِيبٌ فَلْيَمَسَّ مِنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘This day is an ‘Eid (festival) which Allah has ordained for the Muslims. Whoever comes to Friday (prayer), let him take a bath and if he has perfume then let him put some on. And upon you (I urge to use) is the tooth stick.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا كُنَّا نَقِيلُ وَلَا نَتَغَدَّى إِلَّا بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ .

“We did not take a Qailulah nor eat Ghada’ until after Friday (prayer).”*

It was narrated that Sahl bin Sa’d رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ إِيَاسَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجُمُعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا نَرَى لِلْحِيطَانِ فَيْئًا نَسْتَظِلُّ بِهِ .

“We used to perform Friday (prayer) with the Prophet (ﷺ), then we would return, and we would not see any shadow from the walls in which we could seek shade.”

Iyas bin Salamah bin Akwa’ رضی اللہ عنہ narrated that his father said

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مُؤَذِّنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ كَانَ:‏‏‏‏ يُؤَذِّنُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَانَ الْفَيْءُ مِثْلَ الشِّرَاكِ .

During the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he used to call the Adhan on Fridays when the shadow was like a sandal strap.”

‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin ‘Ammar bin Sad, the Mu’adh-dhin of the Prophet (ﷺ), said: “My father told me, narrating from his father, from his grandfather that

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا نُجَمِّعُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ فَنَقِيلُ .

“We used to perform the Friday (prayer), then we would return for a nap (Qailulah).”

It was narrated that Anas رضی اللہ عنہ said
