[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When it is Friday, there are angels at every gate of the mosque recording the names of people as they enter. The early ones are like those who sacrifice a camel, then like those who sacrifice a cow, then like those who sacrifice a sheep, until mention is made of a hen and an egg. When the Imam sits down, they close their records and come to listen to the sermon." And it was narrated to us by Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz, who was informed by Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, who was informed by Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, who was informed by Muhammad ibn Hajjaj Al-Warraq, who said that Yahya ibn Yahya informed us that Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah mentioned it in a similar manner, except that he said, "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'They record the names of people at their homes, the early ones first. When the Imam sits down, they close their records and come to listen to the sermon.'"
النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ كَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مَلَائِكَةٌ يَكْتُبُونَ النَّاسَ الْأَوَّلَ فَالْأَوَّلَ فَالْمُهَجِّرُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ كَالْمُهْدِي بَدَنَةً ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ كَالْمُهْدِي بَقَرَةً ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ كَالْمُهْدِي كَبْشًا حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الدَّجَاجَةَ وَالْبَيْضَةَ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ الْإِمَامُ طَوَوَا الصُّحُفَ وَاجْتَمَعُوا لِلْخُطْبَةِ 5861 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنِ حَجَّاجٍ الْوَرَّاقُ قَالَا ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنبأ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ فَذَكَرَه بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ وَقَالَ يَكْتُبُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَنَازِلِهِمُ الْأَوَّلَ فَالْأَوَّلَ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ الْإِمَامُ طَوَوَا الصُّحُفَ وَاسْتَمَعُوا الْخُطْبَةَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْمُهَجِّرَ بِمَعْنَاهُ
