[Machine] A questioner asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "What is the reason that on the day of Friday the call to prayer is made for the Salah (prayer) in the middle of the day, while you have forbidden it on other days?" He replied, "Verily, Allah heats up Hellfire every day in the middle of the day and cools it down on the day of Friday."  

الطبراني:١٨٤٣٨حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ ثنا بَكَّارُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ قَالَ

سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا بَالُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ يُؤَذَّنُ فِيهَا بِالصَّلَاةِ فِي نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ وَقَدْ نَهَيْتَ عَنْ سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ يُسَعِّرُ جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ وَيُخْبِثُهَا فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ»
