[Machine] "And I narrated to him from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we came to the mention of Friday. So, I told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Verily, there is an hour on Friday, no Muslim asks Allah for any good during it except that He gives it to him.' Ka'ab said: 'May Allah and His Messenger testify to the truth, it is once every year.' I said: 'No.' Ka'ab looked at me at that moment and said: 'May Allah and His Messenger testify to the truth, it is once every month.' I said: 'No.' Then, he looked at me a moment and said: 'May Allah and His Messenger testify to the truth, it is once every Friday.' I said: 'Yes.' Ka'ab said: 'Do you know which hour it is?' I said: 'Which hour is it?' He said: 'It is the time when Allah created Adam and when the Hour will be established. The creations are terrified during it, except for the Jinn and humans, out of fear of the Resurrection.' Then, I hastened to reach Madinah and informed Abdullah bin Salam about Ka'ab's statement. He said: 'Ka'ab has lied.' I said: 'Verily, he returned to my statement.' Abdullah bin Salam said: 'Do you know which hour it is?' I said: 'No.' I kept asking him, 'Inform me, inform me.' He said: 'It is between `Asr and Maghrib.' I said: 'How so, when there is no prayer during that time?' He said: 'Did you not hear the Prophet ﷺ say: 'The servant is in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer in his place of prayer?''

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he was expelled (from Paradise), on it his contrition was accepted, on it he died, and on it the Last Hour will take place. On Friday every beast is on the lookout from dawn to sunrise in fear of the Last Hour, but not jinn and men, and it contains a time at which no Muslim prays and asks anything from Allah but He will give it to him. Ka'b said: That is one day every year. So I said: It is on every Friday. Ka'b read the Torah and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has spoken the truth. AbuHurayrah said: I met Abdullah ibn Salam and told him of my meeting with Ka'b. Abdullah ibn Salam said: I know what time it is. AbuHurayrah said: I asked him to tell me about it. Abdullah ibn Salam said: It is at the very end of Friday. I asked: How can it be when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said: "No Muslim finds it while he is praying...." and this is the moment when no prayer is offered. Abdullah ibn Salam said: Has the Messenger of Allah ﷺ not said: "If anyone is seated waiting for the prayer, he is engaged in the prayer until he observes it." I said: Yes, it is so.
