4. Friday Ṣalāh (Jumuʿah)
٤۔ كِتَابُ الْجُمُعَةِ
[Machine] Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, so do not say "Hayya 'ala as-Salah" (come to prayer), instead say "Sallu fi buyutikum" (pray in your homes). He said this as people were expressing astonishment at his suggestion. He then said, "Indeed, someone better than me has already done this. Friday is a day of gathering, and I disliked the idea of inconveniencing you by making you walk through mud and rain."
أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَا تَقُلْ حِيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ قُلْ صَلُّوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ اسْتَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ قَدْ فَعَلَ ذَا مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي إِنَّ الْجُمُعَةَ عَزْمَةٌ وَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُحْرِجَكُمْ فَتَمْشُونَ فِي الطِّينِ وَالْمَطَرِ
[Machine] To call for prayer in the desert, then the people looked at each other and said, "It seems that you denied this. Indeed, the one who did this is better than me, and it is a determination."
أَنْ يُنَادِيَ الصَّلَاةُ فِي الرِّحَالِ فَنَظَرَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ كَأَنَّكُمْ أَنْكَرْتُمْ هَذَا قَدْ فَعَلَ هَذَا مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَإِنَّهَا عَزْمَةٌ
[Machine] "That Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and he said, 'Pray in your saddles, for I dislike to put you in hardship while it has been done by someone who is better than me. Therefore, I dislike for you to walk in hardship and stumble.'"
أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ؛ فَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُحْرِجَكُمْ وَقَدْ فَعَلَهُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ تَمْشُوا فِي الدَّحْضِ وَالزَّلَلِ
[Machine] He witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a rainy day, so he ordered his announcer to announce that the prayer is to be performed in the encampments. Sa'id narrated to us that he heard Abu Al-Malih saying, "That was on a Friday. As for Qatadah, he did not mention in his narration that it was on a Friday."
أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي يَوْمٍ مَطِيرٍ فَأَمَرَ مُنَادِيَهُ فَنَادَى إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ فِي الرِّحَالِ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ وَحَدَّثَنَا صَاحِبٌ لَنَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا الْمَلِيحِ يَقُولُ كَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ وَأَمَّا قَتَادَةُ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي حَدِيثِهِ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ
Usamah attended the Prophet ﷺ on the occasion of the treaty of al-Hudaybiyyah on Friday. The rain fell as little as the soles of the shoes of the people were not set. He (the Prophet) commanded them to offer Friday prayer in their dwellings. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1059)
أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ وَأَصَابَهُمْ مَطَرٌ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ لَمْ يَبْتَلَّ أَسْفَلُ نِعَالِهِمْ فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِهِمْ
