7. Jumuʿah (Friday Prayer)
٧۔ كتاب الجمعة
Seeking forgiveness by staying silent during the khutbah
He who took a bath and then came for Jumu'a prayer and then prayed what was fixed for him, then kept silence till the Imam finished the sermon, and then prayed along with him, his sins between that time and the next Friday would be forgiven, and even of three days more.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْجُمُعَةَ فَصَلَّى مَا قُدِّرَ لَهُ ثُمَّ أَنْصَتَ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ خُطْبَتِهِ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّيَ مَعَهُ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الأُخْرَى وَفَضْلَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ
Being silent during the khutbah is a condition of forgiveness for ten days
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever performs wudu and does it well, then comes to Jumuah, listens attentively, and remains silent, will be forgiven what is between that ˹Jumuah˺ and the next Jumuah plus an additional three days. And whoever ˹played with˺ the pebbles (i.e. distracted himself and others from the khutbah) has nullified ˹some of his reward˺.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْجُمُعَةَ فَاسْتَمَعَ وَأَنْصَتَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَزِيَادَةُ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَمَنْ مَسَّ الْحَصَى فَقَدْ لَغَا»
