[Machine] Abdullah said, "Hurry to attend the Friday prayer, for Allah appears to the people of Paradise every Friday in a heap of camphor. They will be close to Him according to their haste to go to the Friday prayer. Allah will grant them some honor that they have never seen before, then they will return to their families and inform them of what Allah has bestowed upon them." Abdullah then entered the mosque and found two men who had arrived before him on Friday. Abdullah said, "There are two men and I am the third, if Allah wills, He will bless the third."

عَبْدُ اللهِ «سَارِعُوا إِلَى الْجُمَعِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَبْرُزُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ فِي كَثِيبٍ مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَيَكُونُوا مِنَ الْقُرْبِ عَلَى قَدْرِ تَسَارُعِهِمْ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَيُحْدِثُ اللهُ ﷻ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَكُونُوا رَأَوْهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ فَيُحَدِّثُونَهُمْ بِمَا أَحْدَثَ اللهُ لَهُمْ» قَالَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَدْ سَبَقَاهُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «رَجُلَانِ وَأَنَا الثَّالِثُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يُبَارِكَ فِي الثَّالِثِ»

"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: سَارِعُوا إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فِى الدُّنْيَا، فإنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَبْرُزُ لأَهْلِ الجَنَّةِ [في] (*) كُلَّ [يوم] (*) جُمُعَةٍ [في] (*) كثِيِبٍ مِنْ كافُورٍ أبْيَضَ فَيَكُونُونَ مِنْهُ فِى القُرْبِ عَلَى قَدْرِ سُرعتِهِمْ إلى الْجُمُعَةِ وَيُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ مِنَ الكَرَامَةِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يرون قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلى أَهْلِيهمِ وَقَدْ أَحْدَثَ [اللهُ] (*) لهم".
