[Machine] She said, "The first thing that was obligated regarding prayer, whether in settled or traveling situations, is two units of prayer. Then the prayer was increased in settled situations, while it was simplified in traveling situations."  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «أَوَّلُ مَا فُرِضَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فِي الْحَضَرِ وَالسَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ زِيدَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْحَضَرِ وَأُقِرَّتْ فِي السَّفَرِ»  

[Machine] "The prayers for traveling and residing were prescribed as two units. However, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ established the prayer, he prayed four units. The Fajr prayer was left behind due to the lengthy recitation, and the Maghrib prayer was left behind because it is the odd prayer of the day."  

«فُرِضَتْ صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ وَالْحَضَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا أَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَانِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَتُرِكَتْ صَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ لِطُولِ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَصَلَاةُ الْمَغْرِبِ لِأَنَّهَا وِتْرُ النَّهَارِ»  

I said to 'Umar bin al Khattab ؓ , ʿAnd when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten As­Salah (the prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you)ʿ (al Nisa' 4:101]. But now the people are safe. He said: I wondered the same thing as you are wondering, and I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He said: “It is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 174)   

أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ فَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ﷺ «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَةَ اللَّهِ»  

I said to ʿUmar bin al-Khattab. People are shortening the prayer today, and Allah says: “If you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you)ʿ [an-Nisaʿ 4:101). But that time [i.e., time of fear] has gone, He said: I wondered the same thing as you are wondering, and I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He said: ʿIt is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity.” ʿAbdur-Razzaq told us, Ibn Juraij told us I heard ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ‘Abdullah bin Abi ‘Ammar narrate... and he mentioned [the same report]. (Using translation from Aḥmad 244)   

أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ هَذَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هُوَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا رُخْصَتُهُ»  

[Machine] I said to Umar, "The shortcoming of people is their prayers, and indeed Allah, the Most High, has said, 'If you fear that those who disbelieve may tempt you.'" So that is gone. Umar said, "I was amazed by it until I asked the Messenger of Allah, may peace be upon him, and he said, 'It is a charity through which Allah gives you His help, so accept His charity.'"  

قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ إِقْصَارُ النَّاسِ الصَّلَاةَ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ ذَاكَ فَقَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ»  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, 'Indeed, Allah loves for His concessions to be granted just as He dislikes disobedience to Him.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ تُؤْتَى رُخَصُهُ كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَعْصِيَتُهُ»  

[Machine] "I prayed Dhuhr prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Medina, four Rak'ahs, and I prayed Asr prayer with him in Dhul-Hulayfah, two Rak'ahs, and he was traveling."  

«صَلَّيْتُ الظُّهْرَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرْبَعًا وَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ الْعَصْرَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَكَانَ مُسَافِرًا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed the Dhuhr prayer (noon prayer) with four units of prayer in Madinah, and he prayed the Asr prayer (afternoon prayer) with two units of prayer in Dhu al-Hulayfah. Anas reported that he heard the people shouting for the Hajj and Umrah during these prayers.  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرْبَعًا وَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ» قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَسٌ «وَسَمِعَهُمْ يَصْرُخُونَ بِهِمَا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ»  

I asked Anas b. Malik about the shortening of the prayer (while travelling). He said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out on a journey of three miles or three farsakh (the narrator Shu'bah doubted), he used to pray two rak'ahs. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1201)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَمْيَالٍ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةِ فَرَاسِخَ شُعْبَةُ الشَّاكُّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] I prayed the Dhuhr prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Medina, four units of prayer. Then, he went out on one of his journeys and prayed two units of prayer for us by the tree.  

«صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فَصَلَّى لَنَا عِنْدَ الشَّجَرَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said four rak'ahs in the noon prayer while at Medina, but he offered two rak'ahs in the afternoon prayer at Dhu'l-Hulaifa. (Using translation from Muslim 690a)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرْبَعًا وَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet ﷺ prayed Zuhr in Al-Madinah, four Rak'ahs, and he prayed 'Asr in Dhul-Hulaifah, two Rak'ahs. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 477)  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرْبَعًا وَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ stayed in Tabuk for twenty days, shortening the prayers."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَقَامَ بِتَبُوكَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا يَقْصُرُ الصَّلَاةَ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ arrived in Makkah and stayed there for seventeen nights, shortening the prayers." Ibn Abbas said, "Whoever stays for seventeen nights should shorten the prayers, and whoever stays for more should complete them."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ فَأَقَامَ بِهَا سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً يَقْصُرُ الصَّلَاةَ» قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «مَنْ أَقَامَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ قَصَرَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمَنْ أَقَامَ أَكْثَرَ أَتَمَّ»  

Anas bin Malik said: " We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Al-Madinah to Makkah and he used to lead us in praying two rak'ahs until we came back." I (Yahya) said: "Did he stay in Makkah?" He (Anas) said: "Yes, we stayed there for ten days." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1452)   

«سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى رَجَعْنَا» فَسَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ أَقَامَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ أَقَمْنَا بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرًا»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ stayed in Tabuk for twenty days, shortening the prayers."  

«أَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِتَبُوكَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا يَقْصُرُ الصَّلَاةَ»  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ did not pray during travel before it, nor after it, whether before obligatory prayers or after them."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ لَا يُصَلِّي فِي السَّفَرِ قَبْلَهَا وَلَا بَعْدُ يُرِيدُ قَبْلَ الْفَرَائِضِ وَلَا بَعْدَهَا»  

"I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Al-Madinah to Mekkah, and he continued to shorten his prayers, and he stayed there for ten days." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1438)   

«خَرَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقْصُرُ حَتَّى رَجَعَ وَأَقَامَ بِهَا عَشْرًا»  

"I missed the prayer in congregation when I was in Al-Batha; how do you think I should pray?" He said: "Two rak'ahs, the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1444)  

«صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ سُنَّةَ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ»  

[Machine] "I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ in Mecca, performing two units of prayer during the Farewell Pilgrimage, more than what people usually did, and he felt secure."  

«صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ الصَّلَوَاتِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَ النَّاسُ وَآمَنَهُ»  

[Machine] "I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or he led us in prayer in Mina while we were in the minimum state of performing the two units of prayer."  

«صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ صَلَّى بِنَا بِمِنًى وَنَحْنُ أَوْفَرَ مَا كُنَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

Salim b. 'Abdullah (b. 'Umar) reported on the authority of his father that Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed the prayer of a traveller, i. e. two rak'ahs in Mina, and other places; so did Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and 'Uthman too observed two rak'ahs at the beginning of his caliphate, but he then completed four. (Using translation from Muslim 694a)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْمُسَافِرِ بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ صَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَمَّهَا أَرْبَعًا»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘When a son of Adam recites a Sajdah* and prostrates, Satan withdraws weeping, saying: ‘Woe is me! The son of Adam was commanded to prostrate and he prostrated, and Paradise will be his; I was commanded to prostrate and I refused, so I am doomed to Hell.’” * An Ayah indicating prostration. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1052)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا قَرَأَ ابْنُ آدَمَ السَّجْدَةَ فَسَجَدَ اعْتَزَلَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَبْكِي وَيَقُولُ يَا وَيْلَهُ أُمِرَ ابْنُ آدَمَ السُّجُودَ فَسَجَدَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَأُمِرْتُ بِالسُّجُودِ فَأَبَيْتُ فَلِيَ النَّارُ»  

[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic sentence is: "The Messenger of Allahﷺ used to recite the Quran, then he would reach the prostration and prostrate, and we would prostrate with him following his prostration."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَأْتِي عَلَى السَّجْدَةِ فَيَسْجُدُ وَنَسْجُدُ مَعَهُ لِسُجُودِهِ»  

Abu Hurairah (led them in prayer and) recited: "When the heaven is split asunder." and prostrated during it. When he had finished praying, he told them that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had prostrated during it. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 961)  

«أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ بِهِمْ {إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ} فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَجَدَ فِيهَا»  

"I recited to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (Surat) An-Najm and he did not prostrate in it." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1404)   

«قَرَأْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّجْمَ فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ»  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated to the star, and the Muslims, polytheists, jinn, and humans also prostrated with him."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَجَدَ فِي النَّجْمِ وَسَجَدَ مَعَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْجِنُّ وَالْإِنْسُ»  

[Machine] Narrated Anas bin Malik: "The Prophet ﷺ recited Surat An-Najm (The Star) and then prostrated, and so did all the people except an old man who took a handful of dust and touched his forehead with it saying, 'This is sufficient for me.'"  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ النَّجْمِ فَسَجَدَ فَمَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا سَجَدَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ أَخَذَ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصًى فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ» وَقَالَ يَكْفِينِي  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited surah Sad on the pulpit. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated with him. When the next day came, he recited it. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), the people became ready for prostration. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is the repentance of a Prophet ; but I saw you being ready for prostration. So he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated along with him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1410)   

قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ص وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ السَّجْدَةَ نَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمٌ آخَرُ قَرَأَهَا فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ السَّجْدَةَ تَنَشَّزَ النَّاسُ لِلسُّجُودِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا هِيَ تَوْبَةُ نَبِيٍّ وَلَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُكُمْ تَنَشَّزْتُمْ لِلسُّجُودِ» فَنَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدُوا  

[Machine] I asked Ibn Abbas about the prostration in Surah Sajdah, from where did you take it? He recited to me from the verse {And among his descendants were David and Solomon and Job} until he reached the verse {These are the ones whom Allah has guided, so from their guidance take an example}.  

قُلْتُ لِابْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ سَجْدَةُ ص مِنْ أَيْنَ أَخَذْتَهَا؟ قَالَ فَتَلَا عَلَيَّ {وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُدُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ وَأَيُّوبُ} حَتَّى بَلَغَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللَّهُ فَبِهُدَاهُمِ اقْتَدِهْ}  

"We prostrated with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during: When the heaven is split asunder and Read! In the Name of your Lord." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 963)  

«سَجَدْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ وَاقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I saw in my dream last night, as the sleeping person sees, that I was praying behind a tree. Then I saw as if I recited a prostration, and I saw the tree as if it was prostrating for my prostration. I heard it while it was in prostration saying, 'O Allah, write for me with it (i.e., this prostration) a reward with You, and make it a treasure for me with You, and remove a sin from me with it, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your servant Dawood.'" Ibn Abbas said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite the prostration, and I heard him while he was in prostration saying the same as what the man said regarding the statement of the tree."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنِّي أُصَلِّي خَلْفَ شَجَرَةٍ فَرَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي قَرَأْتُ سَجْدَةً فَرَأَيْتُ الشَّجَرَةَ كَأَنَّهَا تَسْجُدُ لِسُجُودِي فَسَمِعْتُهَا وَهِيَ سَاجِدَةٌ وَهِيَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْ لِي عِنْدَكَ بِهَا أَجْرًا وَاجْعَلْهَا لِي عِنْدَكَ ذُخْرًا وَضَعْ عَنِّي بِهَا وِزْرًا وَاقْبَلْهَا مِنِّي كَمَا تَقَبَّلْتَ مِنْ عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ السَّجْدَةَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ يَقُولُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ عَنْ كَلَامِ الشَّجَرَةِ»  

I recited An-Najm before the Prophet, yet he did not perform a prostration. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1073)  

«قَرَأْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ النَّجْمَ فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ»  

[Machine] This is a Hadith from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . It says: "The sun does not rise or set on a day better than Friday. Every creature is in a state of panic on the day of Friday except for these two: jinn and humans."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ وَلَا تَغْرُبُ عَلَى يَوْمٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ إِلَّا وَهِيَ تَفْزَعُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا هَذَيْنِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ»  

that He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "There are five actions that if done in a day, Allah will write the person from the people of Paradise: (1) visiting a sick person, (2) attending a funeral, (3) fasting for a day, (3) going to Jumuah prayer, and (5) freeing a slave."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «خَمْسٌ مَنْ عَمِلَهُنَّ فِي يَوْمٍ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا وَشَهِدَ جَنَازَةً وَصَامَ يَوْمًا وَرَاحَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَأَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً»  

[Machine] Abū al-Qāsim ﷺ said, "On a Friday, there is an hour in which no Muslim is standing and praying, asking Allah for something good, except that Allah will grant it to him."  

أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ «فِي الْجُمُعَةِ سَاعَةٌ لَا يُوَافِقُهَا مُسْلِمٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا خَيْرًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "On every door of the mosque, there are two angels who take turns in writing. The first angel records the first (person) to enter, whether it be a man who came with a camel, a cow, a sheep, a bird, or an egg. When the imam sits down (to deliver the sermon), the records are folded up."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مَلَكَانِ يَكْتُبَانِ الْأَوْلَ فَالْأَوْلَ فَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ بَدَنَةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ بَقَرَةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ شَاةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ طَيْرًا وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ بَيْضَةً فَإِذَا قَعَدَ الْإِمَامُ طُوِيَتِ الصُّحُفُ»  

Whoever takes bath due to sexual defilement on Friday and goes out (for Friday prayer), is treated like one who offers a camel as sacrifice; he who goes out in the second instance as one who offers a cow; he who goes out in the third instance is treated as one who offers horned cow ; he who goes out in the fourth instance is treated as one who offers hen ; he who goes out in the fifth instance is treated as one who offers an egg. When the Imam comes out (for sermon), the angels too attend to listen to the sermon. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 351)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ غُسْلَ الْجَنَابَةِ ثُمَّ رَاحَ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ بَدَنَةً وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ بَقَرَةً وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ كَبْشًا وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ دَجَاجَةً وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ بَيْضَةً فَإِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ حَضَرَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الذِّكْرَ»  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Whoever performs Ghusl on the day of Jumu'ah (Friday) and purifies himself as much as he is able to from impurity, then applies perfume or the fragrance of his house, then goes to the Jumu'ah prayer without causing any separation between two people, and then prays what is apparent to him, then when the Imam comes out, he remains silent, his sins between that Jumu'ah and the next Jumu'ah will be forgiven."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَتَطَهَّرَ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْ طُهْرٍ ثُمَّ ادَّهَنَ مِنْ دُهْنِهِ أَوْ طِيبِ بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ رَاحَ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ وَلَمْ يُفَرِّقْ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى مَا بَدَا لَهُ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ أَنْصَتَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى»  

“There is nothing wrong with any one of you, if he can afford it, buying two garments for Friday, other than his daily work clothes.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1096)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَطَبَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَرَأَى عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابَ النِّمَارِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ إِنْ وَجَدَ سَعَةً أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ ثَوْبَيْنِ لِجُمُعَتِهِ سِوَى ثَوْبَيْ مِهْنَتِهِ»  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Hurairah and Abu Said Al-Khudri: We heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever takes a bath on the day of Jumu'ah (Friday), purifies himself as much as he can, uses perfumes if available, wears the best of his clothes, then goes to the mosque and offers whatever prayer is prescribed and remains silent when the Imam delivers the Khutbah (sermon), his sins between that Friday and the next will be forgiven."  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَا سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاسْتَنَّ وَمَسَّ مِنْ طِيبٍ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ وَلَبِسَ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ ثِيَابِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَلَمْ يَتَخَطَّ رِقَابَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ ثُمَّ أَنْصَتَ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِمَامُهُ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ كَانَتْ كَفَّارَةً مَا بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ قَبْلَهَا»  

If anyone performs ablution, doing it well, then come to the Friday prayer, listens and keeps silence, his sins between that time and the next Friday will be forgiven, with three days extra; but he who touches pebbles has caused an interruption. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1050)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْجُمُعَةَ فَسَمِعَ وَأَنْصَتَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ وَزِيَادَةُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَنْ مَسَّ الْحَصَى فَقَدْ لَغَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a bath on the day of Friday, purifies himself thoroughly, wears his best clothes, and applies some perfume from his house or musk, then he will be forgiven for what is between that day and the next Friday, and an extra three days."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَأَحْسَنَ غُسْلَهُ وَلَبِسَ مِنْ صَالِحِ ثِيَابِهِ وَمَسَّ مِنْ طِيبِ بَيْتِهِ أَوْ دُهْنِهِ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى وَزِيَادَةُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا»  

[Machine] "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever washes on the day of Friday, then takes a bath, and hastens and comes early, listens attentively and remains silent, and does not harm, Allah will write for him a reward of fasting and praying for every step he takes as if it were a year.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ « مَنْ غَسَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ وَابْتَكَرَ وَمَشَى فَدَنَا وَاسْتَمَعَ وَأَنْصَتَ وَلَمْ يَلْغُ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا عَمَلَ سَنَةٍ صِيَامَهَا وَقِيَامَهَا»  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Take a bath on the day of Friday and wash your heads, unless you are in a state of impurity, and touch some fragrance."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اغْتَسِلُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاغْسِلُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونُوا جُنُبًا وَمَسُّوا مِنَ الطِّيبِ»  

[Machine] "The prayer of travel, the prayer of breaking the fast, the prayer of sacrifice, and the Friday prayer consist of two complete units of prayer, not shortened, as mentioned by your Prophet ﷺ."  

«صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ وَصَلَاةُ الْفِطْرِ وَصَلَاةُ الْأَضْحَى وَصَلَاةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ غَيْرُ قَصْرٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'We are the last (to come) but will be the foremost on the Day of Resurrection, but they were given the Book before us and we were given it after them. They differed concerning this day which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, had prescribed for them and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, guided us to"--meaning Friday--"so the people follow us, the Jews the next day and the Christians the day after that.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1367)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَحْنُ السَّابِقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَيْدَ أَنَّهُمْ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا وَأُوتِينَاهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهُمْ فَهَذَا يَوْمُهُمُ الَّذِي فُرِضَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَاخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَهَدَانَا اللَّهُ لَهُ فَهُمْ لَنَا فِيهِ تَبَعٌ الْيَهُودُ غَدًا وَالنَّصَارَى بَعْدَ غَدٍ»  

[Machine] He said, "I went out to At-Tur and met Ka'b Al-Ahbar, so I sat with him and he told me about the Torah. I also told him about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . In what he narrated, I said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it, Adam was created, on it he entered Paradise, on it he was expelled, on it he died, on it the Trumpet will be blown, and on it all creatures will swoon. Every beast is on the lookout from the time the sun rises until it has risen, fearing the coming of the Hour, except the Jinn and humans. There is an hour on Friday that no Muslim slave stands when praying and asks Allah for anything but He will give it to him.'" Ka'b said, "That happens every year on a day." I said, "No, but every Friday." Ka`b said, "So I read the Torah and he (i.e., the Prophet) said, 'The Messenger of Allah has spoken the truth.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الطُّورِ فَلَقِيتُ كَعْبَ الْأَحْبَارِ فَجَلَسْتُ مَعَهُ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنِ التَّوْرَاةِ وَحَدَّثْتُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ فِيمَا حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنْ قُلْتُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ أُهْبِطَ وَفِيهِ مَاتَ وَفِيهِ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ وَفِيهِ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ إِلَّا وَهِيَ مُصِيخَةٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مِنْ حِينِ تُصْبِحُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ شَفَقًا مِنَ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ وَفِيهِ سَاعَةٌ لَا يُصَادِفُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ» قَالَ كَعْبٌ ذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَوْمٌ ‍ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ قَالَ فَقَرَأَ كَعْبٌ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Where did you come from? I said I came from Mount Tur. He said, "If I had met you before you went out to it, I would not have gone out to it. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The pilgrimage is not to be done except to three mosques: the Sacred Mosque, this Mosque of mine, and the Mosque of Elijah or the Mosque of Jerusalem.'" He doubted which of the two.  

مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ مِنَ الطُّورِ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِ مَا خَرَجْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تُعْمَلُ * الْمَطِيُّ إِلَّا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَإِلَى مَسْجِدِي هَذَا وَإِلَى مَسْجِدِ إِيلِيَاءَ أَوْ مَسْجِدِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ» شَكَّ أَيُّهُمَا  

[Machine] Kab (the man) said, "And this happens every year, one day." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "Kab is lying." I said, "Then he (Kab) recited the Torah." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "No, it is every Friday." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "Kab is telling the truth." Then Abdullah ibn Salam asked, "Do you know which hour it is?" He (Kab) said, then Abu Hurairah said, "Inform me of it and do not keep me in suspense." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "It is the last hour on Friday." Abu Hurairah said, "But how can it be the last hour on Friday when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No Muslim servant will come across it while he is praying?'" And that is an hour in which no prayer is offered." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "Did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever sits waiting for the prayer, he is in prayer until he prays it?'" Abu Hurairah said, "Yes, he did." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "That is what it is."  

كَعْبٌ وَذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَوْمٌ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ كَذَبَ كَعْبٌ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَالَ بَلْ هِيَ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ صَدَقَ كَعْبٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَيَّةَ سَاعَةٍ هِيَ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِهَا وَلَا تَضِنَّنَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ هِيَ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَكَيْفَ تَكُونُ آخِرَ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يُصَادِفُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي» وَتِلْكَ سَاعَةٌ لَا يُصَلَّى فِيهَا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ جَلَسَ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ فَهُوَ فِي صَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا» قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ بَلَى قَالَ فَهُوَ ذَاكَ
