(to come) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection
though the former nations were given the Holy Scriptures before us.
And this was their day (Friday) the celebration of which was made
compulsory for them but they differed about it. So Allah gave us the
guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in
this respect: the Jews' (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and
the Christians' (is) the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday)."

time now?" He replied, "I was busy and could not go back to my house
till I heard the Adhan. I did not perform more than the ablution."
Thereupon 'Umar said to him, "Did you perform only the ablution
although you know that Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) used to order us to
take a bath (on Fridays)?"

first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in
Allah's cause); and whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he
had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is
as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth
hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in
the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam
comes out (i.e. starts delivering the Khutba), the angels present
themselves to listen to the Khutba."

"Did you not hear the Prophet saying: 'Anyone of you going out for
the Jumua prayer should take a bath'?".
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 8
Narrated Salman-Al-Farsi:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Whoever takes a bath on Friday,
purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or
perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the
Jumua prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in
the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and
then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his
sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven."

essential) but I do not know about the perfume (i.e. whether it is
essential or not.)~
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 10

Ibn 'Abbas mentioned the statement of the Prophet regarding the
taking of a bath on Friday and then I asked him whether the Prophet

know about it.

Umar bin Al-Khattab saw a silken cloak (being sold) at the gate of

to wear on Fridays and also on occasions of the arrivals of the
delegations." Allah's Apostle replied, "This will be worn by a
person who will have no share (reward) in the Hereafter." Later on
similar cloaks were given to Allah's Apostle and he gave one of them
to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. On that 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! You
have given me this cloak although on the cloak of Atarid (a cloak
merchant who was selling that silken cloak at the gate of the
mosque) you passed such and such a remark." Allah's Apostle replied,
"I have not given you this to wear". And so 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
gave it to his pagan brother in Mecca to wear.

working on the land (i.e farming) and there was a group of Sudanese
people and some others with him; Ruzaiq was then the Governor of
Aila. Ibn Shihab wrote (to Ruzaiq) ordering him to lead the Jumua
prayer and telling him that Salim told him that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar
had said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'All of you are guardians
and responsible for your wards and the things under your care. The
Imam (i.e. ruler) is the guardian of his subjects and is responsible
for them and a man is the guardian of his family and is responsible
for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband's house and is
responsible for it. A servant is the guardian of his master's
belongings and is responsible for them.' I thought that he also
said, 'A man is the guardian of his father's property and is
responsible for it. All of you are guardians and responsible for
your wards and the things under your care."

but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection. They were

Allah gave us the guidance (for that). So tomorrow (i.e. Saturday)
is the Jews' (day), and the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday) is the
Christians'." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) remained silent (for a while)
and then said, "It is obligatory for every Muslim that he should

she had come out for the prayer as she knew that Umar disliked it,
and he has great ghaira (self-respect). She replied, "What prevents
him from stopping me from this act?" The other replied, "The
statement of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) : 'Do not stop Allah's
women-slave from going to Allah s Mosques' prevents him."

prayer) but say 'Pray in your houses'." (The man did so). But the
people disliked it. Ibn Abbas said, "It was done by one who was much
better than I (i.e. the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ). No doubt, the Jumua
prayer is compulsory but I dislike to put you to task by bringing
you out walking in mud and slush."
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 25
Narrated Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) The people used to come from their abodes
and from Al-'Awali (i.e. outskirts of Medina up to a distance of
four miles or more from Medina). They used to pass through dust and
used to be drenched with sweat and covered with dust; so sweat used
to trickle from them. One of them came to Allah's Apostle who was in
my house. The Prophet said to him, "I wish that you keep yourself
clean on this day of yours (i.e. take a bath)."

"Ash-hadu an la ilaha illal-lah (I testify that none has the right
to be worshipped but Allah)", Muawiya said, "And (so do) I". When he
said, "Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah" (I testify that Muhammad
is Allah's Apostle), Muawiya said, "And (so do) I". When the Adhan

prayer) and it was pronounced at Az-Zaura' and that new state of
affairs remained so in the succeeding years.

Narrated Abu Hazim bin Dinar:
Some people went to Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi and told him that they
had different opinions regarding the wood of the pulpit. They asked
him about it and he said, "By Allah, I know of what wood the pulpit
was made, and no doubt I saw it on thy very first day when Allah's
Apostle I took his seat on it. Allah's Apostle sent for such and
such an Ansari woman (and Sahl mentioned her name) and said to her,
'Order your slave-carpenter to prepare for me some pieces of wood
(i.e. pulpit) on which I may sit at the time of addressing the
people.' So she ordered her slave-carpenter and he made it from the
tamarisk of the forest and brought it (to the woman). The woman sent
that (pulpit) to Allah's Apostle who ordered it to be placed here.
Then I saw Allah's Apostle praying on it and then bowed on it. Then
he stepped back, got down and prostrated on the ground near the foot
of the pulpit and again ascended the pulpit. After finishing the
prayer he faced the people and said, 'I have done this so that you
may follow me and learn the way I pray.' "
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 41
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet used to stand by a stem of a date-palm tree (while

Some property or something was brought to Allah's Apostle and he

got the news of his being admonished by those whom he had ignored.
So he glorified and praised Allah and said, "Amma ba'du. By Allah, I
may give to a man and ignore another, although the one whom I ignore
is more beloved to me than the one whom I give. But I give to some
people as I feel that they have no patience and no contentment in
their hearts and I leave those who are patient and self-contented
with the goodness and wealth which Allah has put into their hearts
and 'Amr bin Taghlib is one of them." Amr added, By Allah! Those
words of Allah's Apostle are more beloved to me than the best red
camels.

Narrated Aisha:
Once in the middle of the night Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) went out
and prayed in the mosque and some men prayed with him. The next
morning the people spoke about it and so more people gathered and
prayed with him (in the second night). They circulated the news in
the morning, and so, on the third night the number of people
increased greatly. Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) came out and they
prayed behind him. On the fourth night the mosque was overwhelmed by
the people till it could not accommodate them. Allah's Apostle came
out only for the Fajr prayer and when he finished the prayer, he
faced the people and recited "Tashah-hud" (I testify that none has
the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His
Apostle), and then said, "Amma ba'du. Verily your presence (in the
mosque at night) was not hidden from me, but I was afraid that this
prayer (Prayer of Tahajjud) might be made compulsory and you might
not be able to carry it out."

and binding his head with an oily bandage. He glorified and praised
Allah and said, "O people! Come to me." So the people came and
gathered around him and he then said, "Amma ba'du." "From now onward
the Ansar will decrease and other people will increase. So anybody
who becomes a ruler of the followers of Muhammad and has the power
to harm or benefit people then he should accept the good from the
benevolent amongst them (Ansar) and overlook the faults of their
wrong-doers."

of the mosque and keep on writing the names of the persons coming to
the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. The example of
the one who enters the mosque in the earliest hour is that of one
offering a camel (in sacrifice). The one coming next is like one
offering a cow and then a ram and then a chicken and then an egg
respectively. When the Imam comes out (for Jumua prayer) they (i.e.
angels) fold their papers and listen to the Khutba."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Once in the lifetime of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) the people were
afflicted with drought (famine). While the Prophet was delivering
the Khutba on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O, Allah's
Apostle! Our possessions are being destroyed and the children are
hungry; Please invoke Allah (for rain)". So the Prophet raised his
hands. At that time there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. By
Him in Whose Hands my soul is as soon as he lowered his hands,
clouds gathered like mountains, and before he got down from the
pulpit, I saw the rain falling on the beard of the Prophet. It
rained that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day till
the next Friday. The same Bedouin or another man stood up and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! The houses have collapsed, our possessions and
livestock have been drowned; Please invoke Allah (to protect us)".
So the Prophet I raised both his hands and said, "O Allah! Round
about us and not on us". So, in whatever direction he pointed with
his hands, the clouds dispersed and cleared away, and Medina's (sky)
became clear as a hole in between the clouds. The valley of Qanat
remained flooded, for one month, none came from outside but talked
about the abundant rain.

meet his demand." And he (the Prophet) pointed out the shortness of
that time with his hands.
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 58

While we were praying (Jumua Khutba & prayer) with the Prophet
(p.b.u.h), some camels loaded with food, arrived (from Sham.~ The
people diverted their attention towards the camels (and left the

verse was revealed: "But when they see Some bargain or some
amusement, They disperse headlong to it, And leave you standing."
(62.11)

There was a woman amongst us who had a farm and she used to sow Silq
(a kind of vegetable) on the edges of streams in her farm. On
Fridays she used to pull out the Silq from its roots and put the
roots in a utensil. Then she would put a handful of powdered barley
over it and cook it. The roots of the Silq were a substitute for
meat. After finishing the Jumua prayer we used to greet her and she
would give us that food which we would eat with our hands, and
because of that meal, we used to look forward to Friday.
