Friday
(1) Narrated Abu Sa`id: I testify that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) 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.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 880)
(2) 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.” (Sunan Ibn Majah)
(3) The Prophet (ﷺ) 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.” ( Sahih al-Bukhari 883)
(4) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) 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.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari 881)
(5) The Messenger of Allah (may peace be’ upon him) said:
He who purified himself in his house, and then he walked to one of the houses of Allah for the sake of performing a Fard (obligatory act) out of the Fara’id (obligatory acts) of Allah, both his steps (would be significant) as one of them would obliterate his sin and the second one would raise his status.
(Sahih Muslim 666)
“Allah’s Messenger said to me:
‘Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, and bathes completely, and goes early, arriving early, gets close and listens and is silent, there will be for him in every step he take the reward of a year of fasting and standing (in prayer).’”
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 496 classed as Sahih by al-Albaani )
(6) Allah’s Messenger said:
“Whoever performs Wudu, performing his Wudu well, then he comes to the Friday (prayer), and he gets close, listens and is silent, then whatever (sin) was between that and (the last) Friday are forgiven for him, in addition to three days.”
( Jami` at-Tirmidhi 498)
(7) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
If you (even) ask your companion to be quiet on Friday while the Imam is delivering the sermon, you have in fact talked irrelevance.
(Sahih Muslim 851 a)
(8) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) talked about Friday and said, “There is an hour (opportune time) on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah, then Allah will definitely meet his demand.” And he (the Prophet) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands.
(Sahih al-Bukhari 935)
(9) The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
Among the most excellent of your days is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he died, on it the last trumpet will be blown, and on it the shout will be made, so invoke more blessings on me that day, for your blessings will be submitted to me. The people asked: Messenger of Allah, how can it be that our blessings will be submitted to you while your body is decayed? He replied: Allah, the Exalted, has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of Prophets.
(Sunan Abi Dawud 1047- Sahih by Al-Albani)
(10) It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khduri that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever reads Surat al-Kahf on Friday, he will be illuminated with light between the two Fridays.”
(Narrated by al-Haakim; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 836 )
