Narrated Abu
Huraira:
I heard Allah's
Apostle (p.b.u.h) saying, "We (Muslims) are
the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost on
the Day of Resurrection though the former nations
were given the Holy Scriptures before us. And this
was their day (Friday) the celebration of which
was made compulsory for them but they differed
about it. So Allah gave us the guidance for it
(Friday) and all the other people are behind us in
this respect: the Jews' (holy day is) tomorrow
(i.e. Saturday) and the Christians' (is) the day
after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday)."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
While Umar bin Al-Khattab
was standing and delivering the sermon on a
Friday, one of the companions of the Prophet, who
was one of the foremost Muhajirs (emigrants) came.
'Umar said to him, "What is the time
now?" He replied, "I was busy and could
not go back to my house till I heard the Adhan. I
did not perform more than the ablution."
Thereupon 'Umar said to him, "Did you perform
only the ablution although you know that Allah's
Apostle (p.b.u.h) used to order us to take a bath
(on Fridays)?"
Volume

I testify that
Allah's Apostle said, "The taking of a bath
on Friday is compulsory for every male Muslim who
has attained the age of puberty and (also) the
cleaning of his teeth with Siwak, and the using of
perfume if it is available." Amr (a
sub-narrator) said, "I confirm that the
taking of a bath is compulsory, but as for the
Siwak and the using of perfume, Allah knows better
whether it is obligatory or not, but according to
the Hadith it is as above.")
Volume

Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h)
said, "Any person who takes a bath on Friday
like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the
prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if
he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah's cause); and
whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had
sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third
hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned
ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it
is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes
in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered
an egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts
delivering the Khutba), the angels present
themselves to listen to the Khutba."
Volume

Narrated Abu
Huraira:
While 'Umar (bin
Al-Khattab) was delivering the Khutba on a Friday,
a man entered (the mosque). 'Umar asked him,
"What has detained you from the prayer?"
The man said, "It was only that when I heard
the Adhan I performed ablution (for the
prayer)." On that 'Umar said, "Did you
not hear the Prophet saying: 'Anyone of you going
out for the Jumua prayer should take a
bath'?".
Volume
2, Book 13, Number 8:
Narrated Salman-Al-Farsi:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h)
said, "Whoever takes a bath on Friday,
purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his
(hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of
his house, then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer)
and does not separate two persons sitting together
(in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has)
written for him and then remains silent while the
Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between
the present and the last Friday would be
forgiven."
Volume

Narrated Tawus:
I said to Ibn 'Abbas,
"The people are narrating that the Prophet
said, 'Take a bath on Friday and wash your heads
(i.e. take a thorough bath) even though you were
not Junub and use perfume'." On that Ibn 'Abbas
replied, "I know about the bath, (i.e. it is
essential) but I do not know about the perfume
(i.e. whether it is essential or not.)~
Volume

Narrated Tawus:
Ibn 'Abbas
mentioned the statement of the Prophet regarding
the taking of a bath on Friday and then I asked

perfume or (hair) oil to be used if they could be
found in one's house. He (Ibn 'Abbas) replied that
he did not know about it.
Volume

Narrated 'Abdullah
bin 'Umar:
Umar bin Al-Khattab
saw a silken cloak (being sold) at the gate of the
Mosque and said to Allah's Apostle, "I wish
you would buy this to wear on Fridays and also on
occasions of the arrivals of the
delegations." Allah's Apostle replied,
"This will be worn by a person who will have
no share (reward) in the Hereafter." Later on
similar cloaks were given to Allah's Apostle and
he gave one of them to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. On
that 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have
given me this cloak although on the cloak of
Atarid (a cloak merchant who was selling that
silken cloak at the gate of the mosque) you passed
such and such a remark." Allah's Apostle
replied, "I have not given you this to
wear". And so 'Umar bin Al-Khattab gave it to
his pagan brother in Mecca to wear.

Apostle saying, "All of you are
Guardians." Yunis said: Ruzaiq bin Hukaim

Wadi-al-Qura saying, "Shall I lead the Jumua
prayer?" Ruzaiq was working on the land (i.e
farming) and there was a group of Sudanese people
and some others with him; Ruzaiq was then the
Governor of Aila. Ibn Shihab wrote (to Ruzaiq)
ordering him to lead the Jumua prayer and telling
him that Salim told him that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar
had said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying,
'All of you are guardians and responsible for your
wards and the things under your care. The Imam
(i.e. ruler) is the guardian of his subjects and
is responsible for them and a man is the guardian
of his family and is responsible for them. A woman
is the guardian of her husband's house and is
responsible for it. A servant is the guardian of
his master's belongings and is responsible for
them.' I thought that he also said, 'A man is the
guardian of his father's property and is
responsible for it. All of you are guardians and
responsible for your wards and the things under
your care."

Resurrection. They were given the Holy Scripture

And this was the day (Friday) about which they
differed and Allah gave us the guidance (for
that). So tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) is the Jews'
(day), and the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday) is
the Christians'." The Prophet (p.b.u.h)
remained silent (for a while) and then said,
"It is obligatory for every Muslim that he
should take a bath once in seven days, when he

She was asked why she had come out for the prayer
as she knew that Umar disliked it, and he has
great ghaira (self-respect). She replied,
"What prevents him from stopping me from this
act?" The other replied, "The statement
of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) : 'Do not stop
Allah's women-slave from going to Allah s Mosques'

in your houses'." (The man did so). But the
people disliked it. Ibn Abbas said, "It was
done by one who was much better than I (i.e. the
Prophet (p.b.u.h) ). No doubt, the Jumua prayer is
compulsory but I dislike to put you to task by
bringing you out walking in mud and slush."

(the wife of the
Prophet) The people used to come from their abodes
and from Al-'Awali (i.e. outskirts of Medina up to
a distance of four miles or more from Medina).
They used to pass through dust and used to be
drenched with sweat and covered with dust; so
sweat used to trickle from them. One of them came
to Allah's Apostle who was in my house. The
Prophet said to him, "I wish that you keep
yourself clean on this day of yours (i.e. take a
bath)."

Akbar, Allahu Akbar." And when the Muadh-dhin
said, "Ash-hadu an la ilaha illal-lah (I
testify that none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah)", Muawiya said, "And (so do)
I". When he said, "Ash-hadu anna
Muhammadan Rasulullah" (I testify that
Muhammad is Allah's Apostle), Muawiya said,
"And (so do) I". When the Adhan was
finished, Muawiya said, "O people, when the

Some people went to
Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi and told him that they had
different opinions regarding the wood of the
pulpit. They asked him about it and he said,
"By Allah, I know of what wood the pulpit was
made, and no doubt I saw it on thy very first day
when Allah's Apostle I took his seat on it.
Allah's Apostle sent for such and such an Ansari
woman (and Sahl mentioned her name) and said to
her, 'Order your slave-carpenter to prepare for me
some pieces of wood (i.e. pulpit) on which I may
sit at the time of addressing the people.' So she
ordered her slave-carpenter and he made it from
the tamarisk of the forest and brought it (to the
woman). The woman sent that (pulpit) to Allah's
Apostle who ordered it to be placed here. Then I
saw Allah's Apostle praying on it and then bowed
on it. Then he stepped back, got down and
prostrated on the ground near the foot of the
pulpit and again ascended the pulpit. After
finishing the prayer he faced the people and said,
'I have done this so that you may follow me and
learn the way I pray.' "

glorified and praised Allah and said, "Amma
ba'du. By Allah, I may give to a man and ignore
another, although the one whom I ignore is more
beloved to me than the one whom I give. But I give
to some people as I feel that they have no
patience and no contentment in their hearts and I
leave those who are patient and self-contented
with the goodness and wealth which Allah has put
into their hearts and 'Amr bin Taghlib is one of
them." Amr added, By Allah! Those words of
Allah's Apostle are more beloved to me than the
best red camels.

Once in the middle

and so more people gathered and prayed with him
(in the second night). They circulated the news in
the morning, and so, on the third night the number
of people increased greatly. Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h)
came out and they prayed behind him. On the fourth
night the mosque was overwhelmed by the people
till it could not accommodate them. Allah's
Apostle came out only for the Fajr prayer and when
he finished the prayer, he faced the people and
recited "Tashah-hud" (I testify that
none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and
that Muhammad is His Apostle), and then said,
"Amma ba'du. Verily your presence (in the
mosque at night) was not hidden from me, but I was

be made compulsory and you might not be able to
carry it out."

Allah and said, "O people! Come to me."
So the people came and gathered around him and he
then said, "Amma ba'du." "From now
onward the Ansar will decrease and other people
will increase. So anybody who becomes a ruler of
the followers of Muhammad and has the power to
harm or benefit people then he should accept the
good from the benevolent amongst them (Ansar) and
overlook the faults of their wrong-doers."

one who enters the mosque in the earliest hour is
that of one offering a camel (in sacrifice). The
one coming next is like one offering a cow and
then a ram and then a chicken and then an egg

Once in the

afflicted with drought (famine). While the Prophet
was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a Bedouin
stood up and said, "O, Allah's Apostle! Our
possessions are being destroyed and the children
are hungry; Please invoke Allah (for rain)".
So the Prophet raised his hands. At that time
there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. By Him
in Whose Hands my soul is as soon as he lowered
his hands, clouds gathered like mountains, and
before he got down from the pulpit, I saw the rain
falling on the beard of the Prophet. It rained
that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth
day till the next Friday. The same Bedouin or
another man stood up and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! The houses have collapsed, our
possessions and livestock have been drowned;
Please invoke Allah (to protect us)". So the
Prophet I raised both his hands and said, "O
Allah! Round about us and not on us". So, in
whatever direction he pointed with his hands, the
clouds dispersed and cleared away, and Medina's
(sky) became clear as a hole in between the
clouds. The valley of Qanat remained flooded, for
one month, none came from outside but talked about
the abundant rain.

demand." And he (the Prophet) pointed out the
shortness of that time with his hands.

Prophet (p.b.u.h), some camels loaded with food,
arrived (from Sham.~ The people diverted their
attention towards the camels (and left the

disperse headlong to it, And leave you

amongst us who had a farm and she used to sow Silq
(a kind of vegetable) on the edges of streams in
her farm. On Fridays she used to pull out the Silq
from its roots and put the roots in a utensil.
Then she would put a handful of powdered barley
over it and cook it. The roots of the Silq were a
substitute for meat. After finishing the Jumua
prayer we used to greet her and she would give us
that food which we would eat with our hands, and
because of that meal, we used to look forward to
Friday.
