MERCIFUL]
"O you who
have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah
[Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of ALLAH and leave trade. That is
better for you, if you only knew.
And when the
prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of
ALLAH, and remember ALLAH often that you may succeed."

Selected Hadith Regarding Virtues
Of Yawm al-Jumua (Friday) (Gathering day)
Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 2: Belief, Number 43:
Narrated 'Umar bin
Al-Khattab (R.A):
Once a Jew said to me, "O the chief of
believers! There is a verse in your Holy Book, which is read by all of you (Muslims),
and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day (on which it was
revealed as a day of celebration." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (R.A) asked,
"Which is that verse?" The Jew replied, "This day I have
perfected your religion for you, completed MY favor upon you, And have chosen
for you Islam as your religion." (5:3) 'Umar (R.A) replied, "No
doubt, we know when and where this verse was revealed to The Prophet [S.A.W.S].
It was Friday and The Prophet [S.A.W.S] was standing at 'Arafat (i.e. the Day of
Hajj)"
Sahih Bukhari: Volume 2,

"The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every male (Muslim) who
has attained the age of puberty."

Book 13: Friday Prayer, Number 6:
Narrated Abu Huraira (R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] 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.W.T]’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 (P.B.U.T) present themselves to
listen to the Khutba."
Sahih Bukhari: Volume 2,
Book 13: Friday Prayer, Number 8:
Narrated Salman-Al-Farsi
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] 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 [S.W.T] 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 Bukhari: Volume 2,

Umar bin Al-Khattab (R.A) saw a silken cloak
(being sold) at the gate of the Mosque and said to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S], "I wish you would buy this to wear on Fridays and also on
occasions of the arrivals of the delegations." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] 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.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and he gave one of them to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
(R.A). On that 'Umar (R.A) said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! 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.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, "I have
not given you this to wear". And so 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (R.A) gave it to
his pagan brother in Mecca to wear.

on the Day of Resurrection. They were given the Holy Scripture before us and we
were given the Qur’an after them. And this was the day (Friday) about which
they differed and ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 [S.A.W.S] 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 should wash his head and body." Narrated Abu
Huraira (R.A) through different narrators that the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said,
"It is ALLAH [S.W.T]'s right on every Muslim that he should take a bath
(at least) once in seven days."

writing the names of the persons coming to the Mosque in succession according
to their arrivals. The example of the 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
respectively. When the Imam comes out (for Jumua prayer) they (i.e. Angels
(P.B.U.T)) fold their papers and listen to the Khutba."

[S.W.T] will definitely meet his demand." And he (the Prophet [S.A.W.S])

and would add to their beauty and loveliness, and then they would go back to
their family after having an added luster to their beauty and loveliness, and
their family would say to them: By ALLAH [S.W.T], you have been increased in
beauty and loveliness after leaving us, and they would say: By ALLAH [S.W.T],
you have also increased in beauty and loveliness after us.

Abu Huraira (R.A) narrated:
"ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S]
said: The best day that the sun has risen upon is Friday. On it Adam (P.B.U.H)
was created, on it he entered Paradise, and on it, he was sent down from it.
And in it there is an hour in which the Muslim worshipper would not stand in
Salat, asking ALLAH [S.W.T] for anything except that HE would give it to
him.'" Abu Huraira (R.A) said: "I met Abdullah bin Salam (R.A), and I
mentioned this Hadith to him. He said: 'I am more knowledgeable about that
hour.' So I said: 'Inform me about it, and do not keep any of it from me.' He
said: 'It is after al-Asr until the sun has set.' I said: 'How can it be after
Al-Asr when ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] said: 'the Muslim worshipper
would not stand in Salat.' And that is a time that prayer is not performed
in?" So Abdullah bin Salam (R.A) said: 'Didn't ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger
[S.A.W.S] say: "Whoever sat in a gathering awaiting the Salat then he is
in Salat"? I said: 'Of course.' He said: 'Then that is it.'"

Dawud: Chapter 358, Book 2: Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat), Hadith 1047:
Narrated Aws ibn
Aws (R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said: Among the most
excellent of your days is Friday; on it Adam (P.B.U.H) 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 [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], how can it be
that our blessings will be submitted to you while your body is decayed? He
replied: ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED, has prohibited the earth from consuming
the bodies of Prophets (P.B.U.T).
[Sunan Abi Dawud: Chapter
454, Book 5: Voluntary Prayers, Hadith 48 & Jami' at-Tirmidhi: Chapter 19,
Book 3: The Book on Al-Witr, Hadith 31]:
Our Beloved Prophet [S.A.W.S] said to his
uncle Abbas (R.A): Oh uncle shall I not give you! Shall I not grant you! Shall
I not award you! Shall I not do mercy on you! When you do ten things ALLAH
[S.W.T] will forgive your sins: of the future and of the past; new and old;
those you have forgotten and those you did knowingly; big and small; hidden and
revealed. Then Prophet [S.A.W.S] explained the taught the way to pray Salatul
Tasbih and then said if you can pray this salah once a day, if you can not pray
once a day then every Friday, and even if this is not possible then once a
month and even if this is not possible then once a year and even if this is not
possible then at least once in a lifetime.
