tabarani:7045Samurah b. Jundub

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to attend Friday prayer and not to be absent from it. And if the believers were appointed for a task on Friday and they stood up for it, then one of them is most entitled to his seat when he returns to it.  

الطبراني:٧٠٤٥وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ قَالَ

«إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَشْهَدَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَلَا نَتَغَيَّبَ عَنْهَا وَإِذَا انْتُدِبَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِنُدْبَةٍ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَقَامُوا فَإِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِمَقْعَدِهِ إِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ»
