4. Friday Ṣalāh (Jumuʿah)
٤۔ كِتَابُ الْجُمُعَةِ
[Machine] A man came and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was giving a sermon to the people on Friday. He asked, "Did you pray, O so-and-so?" The man replied, "No." He then told him, "Stand up and perform the bowing position, using a particular phrasing."
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ صَلَّيْتَ يَا فُلَانُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ قُمْ فَارْكَعْ لَفْظُ عَارِمٍ
Once in the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ the people were afflicted with drought (famine). While the Prophet ﷺ was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O, Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Our possessions are being destroyed and the children are hungry; Please invoke Allah (for rain)". So the Prophet ﷺ 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The houses have collapsed, our possessions and livestock have been drowned; Please invoke Allah (to protect us)". So the Prophet ﷺ 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. (Using translation from Bukhārī 933)
أَصَابَتِ النَّاسَ سَنَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَأَتَاهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلَكَ الْمَالُ وَجَاعَ الْعِيَالُ فَادْعُ اللهَ لَنَا فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي يَدَيْهِ وَمَا نَرَى فِي السَّمَاءِ قَزَعَةً فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا وَضَعَهَا حَتَّى ثَارَتْ سَحَابٌ كَأَمْثَالِ الْجِبَالِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْمَطَرَ يَتَحَادَرُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ فَمُطِرْنَا يَوْمَنَا ذَلِكَ وَمِنَ الْغَدِ وَمِنْ بَعْدِ الْغَدِ وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ حَتَّى الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى فَقَامَ ذَلِكَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أَوْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَهَدَّمَ الْبِنَاءُ وَجَاعَ الْعِيَالُ فَادْعُ اللهَ لَنَا فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلَا عَلَيْنَا قَالَ فَمَا يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ السَّحَابِ إِلَّا انْفَرَجَتْ حَتَّى صَارَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ مِثْلَ الْحَوْبَةِ وَسَالَ الْوَادِي وَادِي قَنَاةَ شَهْرًا وَلَمْ يَجِئْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ النَّوَاحِي إِلَّا حَدَّثَ بِالْجَوْدِ
[Machine] "The group that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to Ibn Abi Al-Hakam in Khaybar to kill him did so, and they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was standing on the pulpit on Friday. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them when he saw them, 'Successful are the faces.' They replied, 'Your face is the most successful, O Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, 'Did you kill him?' They replied, 'Yes.' Then he called for the sword with which he was killed while he was standing on the pulpit. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, 'Is this his food in the flies of the sword?' The group consisted of Abdullah bin Atik, Abdullah bin Unais, Aswad bin Khuzai, and Abu Qatada. According to what Zuhri supposes, and Zuhri doesn't preserve the fifth hadith. If this one was a sent one, then he is a good sent one. This is a well-known story among the leaders of expeditions, and it has been narrated from another perspective by Zuhri and narrated from Abu Al-Aswad by Urwah bin Zubair. They mentioned this story, along with Mas'ud bin Sinan, who reported to us Abu Al-Hasan bin Al-Fadl Al-Qattan in Baghdad, who informed us Abdullah bin Ja'far via Ya'qub bin Sufyan, who reported to me Hassan bin Abdullah, who reported from Ibn Lahi'ah, who reported from Abu Al-Aswad, who reported from Urwah, who said... And Ya'qub reported to us Ibrahim bin Mundhir, who reported from Muhammad bin Fuleih, who reported from Musa bin 'Uqbah, who reported from Ibn Shihab. They mentioned this story, and it has also been narrated concisely from another perspective."
أَنَّ الرَّهْطَ الَّذِينَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ بِخَيْبَرَ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَقَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ رَآهُمْ أَفْلَحْتِ الْوُجُوهُ فَقَالُوا أَفْلَحَ وَجْهُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَقَتَلْتُمُوهُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَدَعَا بِالسَّيْفِ الَّذِي قُتِلَ بِهِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَلَّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَجَلْ هَذَا طَعَامُهُ فِي ذُبَابِ السَّيْفِ وَكَانَ الرَّهْطُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَتِيكٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ وَأَسْوَدُ بْنُ خُزَاعِيٍّ حَلِيفٌ لَهُمْ وَأَبُو قَتَادَةَ فِيمَا يَظُنُّ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَلَا يَحْفَظُ الزُّهْرِيُّ الْخَامِسَ وَهَذَا وَإِنْ كَانَ مُرْسَلًا فَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ جَيِّدٌ وَهَذِهِ قِصَّةٌ مَشْهُورَةٌ فِيمَا بَيْنَ أَرْبَابِ الْمَغَازِي وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَذَكَرَا هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ وَذَكَرَا مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ مَسْعُودَ بْنَ سِنَانٍ 5841 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنِي حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ فَذَكَرَا هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةَ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ مَوْصُولًا مُخْتَصَرًا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to Ibn Abi al-Huqayq and when I returned, he was delivering the Friday sermon. He said, "Success is in the face." I said, "And may your face be successful, O Messenger of Allah." This was narrated in its entirety from Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah bin Ka'b from Abdullah bin Unais, connectedly.
بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ أَفْلَحَ الْوَجْهُ قُلْتُ وَوَجْهُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأفْلَحْ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ بِتَمَامِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ مَوْصُولًا
[Machine] When I approached the city of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I tied my camel and dismounted my ride. I adorned myself with my best clothes and entered. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was giving a sermon, and he greeted me. The people stared at me, so I said to my companion, "O Abdullah, did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention anything about me?" He replied, "Yes, he mentioned you in the best way possible during his sermon. He said that someone will enter upon you through this door or from this side, and he is from the people of goodness and virtue. And on his face is the mark of an angel." So I thanked Allah for what He made clear to me.
لَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَخْتُ رَاحِلَتِي وَحَلَلْتُ عَيْبَتِي فَلَبَسْتُ حُلَّتِي فَدَخَلْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَمَانِي النَّاسُ بِالْحَدَقِ فَقُلْتُ لِجَلِيسِي يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ هَلْ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَمْرِي شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ ذَكَرَكَ بِأَحْسَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ عَرَضَ لَهُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ سَيَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْبَابِ أَوْ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَجِّ مِنْ خَيْرِ ذِي يَمَنٍ وَإِنَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ لَمَسْحَةُ مَلَكٍ فَحَمِدْتُ اللهَ عَلَى مَا أَبْلَانِي
[Machine] Uthman and Umar came to the pulpit to give a sermon on Friday. Uthman asked, "What time is it?" Umar replied, "It is only the time for ablution." Uthman said, "And ablution too, even though you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to perform the ritual bath."
جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ وَعُمَرُ ؓ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ أَيَّةُ سَاعَةٍ هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ مَا كَانَ إِلَّا الْوُضُوءُ قَالَ وَالْوُضُوءُ أَيْضًا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا بِالْغُسْلِ
[Machine] Uthman ibn Affan said, while he was on the pulpit on Friday, giving a sermon for a man, "Did you buy this for our family or did he give a signal with his finger, meaning the sermon?"
قَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَخْطُبُ لِرَجُلٍ هَلِ اشْتَرَيْتَ لِأَهْلِنَا هَذَا أَوْ أَشَارَ بِطَرَفِ أُصْبُعِهِ يَعْنِي الْخُطْبَةَ
