bukhari:3486Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > Wuhayb > Ibn Ṭāwus from his father > Abū Hurayrah

The Prophet ﷺ said, "We are the last (to come) but we will be the foremost on the Day of Resurrection, nations were given the Book (i.e. Scripture) before us, and we were given the Holy Book after them. This (i.e. Friday) is the day about which they differed. So the next day (i.e. Saturday) was prescribed for the Jews and the day after it (i.e. Sunday) for the Christians. It is incumbent on every Muslim to wash his head and body on a Day (i.e. Friday) (at least) in every seven days."

bukhari:896Muslim b. Ibrāhīm > Wuhayb > Ibn Ṭāwus from his father > Abū Hurayrah

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "We are the last (to come amongst the nations) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection. They were given the Holy Scripture before us and we were given the Quran after them. And this was the day (Friday) about which they differed and Allah gave us the guidance (for that). So tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) is the Jews' (day), and the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday) is the Christians'." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent (for a while) and then said, "It is obligatory for every Muslim that he should take a bath once in seven days, when he should wash his head and body."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We are the last ones to enter Paradise, but the first ones on the Day of Resurrection, even though the people before us were given the Book before us, and we were given it after them. And today is the day we were commanded to observe, but they disagreed about it. So Allah made it our holiday. So today belongs to us, tomorrow to the Jews, and the day after tomorrow to the Christians."
