Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الْجَرْجَرَائِيُّ، حِبِّي حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَوْسُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ "مَنْ غَسَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ وَابْتَكَرَ وَمَشَى وَلَمْ يَرْكَبْ وَدَنَا مِنَ الإِمَامِ فَاسْتَمَعَ وَلَمْ يَلْغُ كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ عَمَلُ سَنَةٍ أَجْرُ صِيَامِهَا وَقِيَامِهَا " .
Translation
Narrated Aws ibn Aws ath-Thaqafi
Muhammad ibn Hatim al-Jarjrai told us: Habbi told us: Ibn al-Mubarak told us, from al-Awza'i: Hassan ibn Atiyyah told me: Abu al-Ash'ath al-San'ani told me: Aws ibn Aws al-Thaqafi told me: I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saying: "Whoever washes his head and bathes on Friday, goes out early and arrives early, walks and does not ride, draws near to the imam, listens and does not engage in idle talk, for every step he takes he will have the reward of a year's deeds, the reward of its fasting and its standing in prayer."
