4. Friday Ṣalāh (Jumuʿah)
٤۔ كِتَابُ الْجُمُعَةِ
[Machine] We gathered around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I was the last one to come to him, while we were forty men. He said, "Indeed, you will face trials and tribulations, and you will be victorious and triumphant. Paradise is open for you. So whoever achieves that should fear Allah and enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and maintain family ties. And whoever lies deliberately against me, let him take his place in Hell." At-Thawri and Mis'ar ibn Kidam also narrated this, with a variation in wording. In the narration of Mis'ar, it says, "We gathered around him, to the number of forty."
جَمَعَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكُنْتُ آخِرَ مَنْ أَتَاهُ وَنَحْنُ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مُصِيبُونَ وَمَنْصُورُونَ وَمَفْتُوحٌ لَكُمْ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَتَّقِ اللهَ وَلْيَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلْيَنْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَلْيَصِلِ الرَّحِمَ وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا الثَّوْرِيُّ وَمِسْعَرُ بْنُ كِدَامٍ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مِسْعَرٍ جَمَّعْنَا نَحْوًا مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ
While we were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ in a tent he said, ''Would it please you to be one fourth of the people of Paradise?" We said, "Yes." He said, "Would It please you to be one-third of the people of Paradise?" We said, "Yes." He said, "Would it please you to be half of the people of Paradise?" We said, "Yes." Thereupon he said, "I hope that you will be one half of the people of Paradise, for none will enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and you people, in comparison to the people who associate others in worship with Allah, are like a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a black hair on the skin of a red ox." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6528)
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي قُبَّةٍ نَحْوًا مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ فَقَالَ أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا رُبْعَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا ثُلُثَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا نِصْفَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مَسْلَمَةٌ وَمَا أَنْتُمْ فِي الشِّرْكِ إِلَّا كَالشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ أَوْ كَالشَّعْرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي جِلْدِ الثَّوْرِ الْأَحْمَرِ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Whenever a Muslim man dies and forty men who do not associate partners with Allah stand up for his funeral prayer, Allah will intercede for them in it."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ فَيَقُومُ عَلَى جِنَازَتِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا شَفَّعَهُمُ اللهُ فِيهِ
