Significance of coming to Salat al-Jumuʿah early
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "On Fridays the angels sit at the gates of the Masjid writing down the peoples' names in the order in which they come. So the people are like (1) a person who sacrifices a camel, then like (2) a person who sacrifices a cow, then like (3) a person who sacrifices a sheep, then like (4) a person who sacrifices a sheep, then like (5) a person who sacrifices a chicken, then like (6) a person who sacrifices a sparrow, then like (7) a person who sacrifices an egg."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ تَقْعُدُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ يَكْتُبُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ فَالنَّاسُ فِيهِ كَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ بَدَنَةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ بَقَرَةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ شَاةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ دَجَاجَةً وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ عُصْفُورًا وَكَرَجُلٍ قَدَّمَ بَيْضَةً
