كتاب الجمعة

Chapter 12: Is the bath necessary for those who do not present themselves for the Jumu'ah prayer

Ibn 'Umar said that ghusl is for those who are obligated on Friday.
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every Muslim who has attained the age of puberty."

Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said "We are the last (to come amongst the nations) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection. They were given the Holy Scripture before us and we were given the Quran after them. And this was the day (Friday) about which they differed and 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 take a bath once in seven days, when he should wash his head and body."

Narrated Abu Huraira through different narrators that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is Allah's right on every Muslim that he should take a bath (at least) once in seven days."

Chapter 13: Chapter

Narrated Ibn `Umar

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Allow women to go to the Mosques at night."

Narrated Ibn `Umar

One of the wives of `Umar (bin Al-Khattab) used to offer the Fajr and the `Isha' prayer in congregation in the Mosque. She was asked why 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 Messenger (ﷺ) : 'Do not stop Allah's women-slaves from going to Allah's Mosques' prevents him."

Chapter 14: Not to attend the Jumu'ah (prayer) if it is raining.

Narrated Muhammad bin Seereen

On a rainy day Ibn `Abbas said to his Mu'adh-dhin, "After saying, 'Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah' (I testify that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)), do not say 'Haiya 'Alas-Salat' (come for the 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."

Chapter 15: For whom is the Jumu'ah (prayer) compulsory?

To say Allah - Almighty and Almighty - {if called to pray from Friday}.
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 Messenger (ﷺ) who was in my house. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "I wish that you keep yourself clean on this day of yours (i.e. take a bath)."

Chapter 16: The time for the Jumu'ah (prayer) is due when the sun declines (i.e. just after mid-day)

It is also narrated from 'Umar, 'Ali, al-Nu'man ibn Bashir and 'Amr ibn Harith (may Allah be pleased with them).
Narrated Yahya bin Sa`id

I asked `Amra about taking a bath on Fridays. She replied, " Aisha said, 'The people used to work (for their livelihood) and whenever they went for the Jumua prayer, they used to go to the mosque in the same shape as they had been in work. So they were asked to take a bath on Friday.' "

Narrated Anas bin Malik

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Jumua prayer immediately after midday.

Narrated Anas bin Malik

We used to offer the Jumua prayer early and then have an afternoon nap.

Chapter 17: If it becomes very hot on Fridays

Narrated Anas bin Malik

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the prayer earlier if it was very cold; and if it was very hot he used to delay the prayer, i.e. the Jumua prayer.

Chapter 18: To go walking unhurriedly

And God said- the male of his remembrance- {So they will be the remembrance of God}. And whoever says the pursuit of work and the gold, to say: {He sought her endeavor}. Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them, said that the sale is then then. A gift said that all industries prohibit all of them. Abraham bin Sa`d said about Al -Zuhri, when the muezzin authorized the day of the group, and he is a traveling, so he should testify.
Narrated Abu `Abs

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Anyone whose feet are covered with dust in Allah's cause, shall be saved by Allah from the Hell-Fire."

Narrated Abu Huraira

Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada on the authority of his father

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Do not stand up (for prayer) unless you see me, and observe calmness and solemnity".

Chapter 19: One should not separate two persons on Fridays

Narrated Salman Al-Farsi

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, "Anyone who takes a bath on Friday and cleans himself as much as he can and puts oil (on his hair) or scents himself; and then proceeds for the prayer and does not force his way between two persons (assembled in the mosque for the Friday prayer), and prays as much as is written for him and remains quiet when the Imam delivers the Khutba, all his sins in between the present and the last Friday will be forgiven."

Chapter 20: A man should not make his brother get up to sit in his place

Narrated Ibn Juraij

I heard Nazi' saying, "Ibn `Umar, said, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade that a man should make another man to get up to sit in his place' ". I said to Nafi`, 'Is it for Jumua prayer only?' He replied, "For Jumua prayer and any other (prayer)."

Chapter 21: Adhan on Friday (for the Jumu'ah prayer)

Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid

In the lifetime of the Prophet, Abu Bakr and `Umar, the Adhan for the Jumua prayer used to be pronounced when the Imam sat on the pulpit. But during the Caliphate of `Uthman when the Muslims increased in number, a third Adhan at Az-Zaura' was added. Abu `Abdullah said, "Az-Zaura' is a place in the market of Medina."

Chapter 22: One Mu'adh-dhin on Friday

Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid

The person who increased the number of Adhans for the Jumua prayers to three was `Uthman bin `Affan and it was when the number of the (Muslim) people of Medina had increased. In the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) there was only one Mu'adh-dhin and the Adhan used to be pronounced only after the Imam had taken his seat (i.e. on the pulpit).

Chapter 23: The Imam repeats the wordings of the Adhan when he hears it

Narrated Abu Umama bin Sahl bin Hunaif

I heard Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan (repeating the statements of the Adhan) while he was sitting on the pulpit. When the Mu'adh-dhin pronounced the Adhan saying, "Allahu-Akbar, Allahu Akbar", Muawiya said: "Allah Akbar, Allahu Akbar." And when the Mu'adh-dhin said, "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 was finished, Muawiya said, "O people, when the Mu'adh-dhin pronounced the Adhan I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on this very pulpit saying what you have just heard me saying".

Chapter 24: To sit on the pulpit while Adhan is pronounced

Narrated As-Sa'ib bin Yazid I

`Uthman bin `Affan introduced the second Adhan on Fridays when the number of the people in the mosque increased. Previously the Adhan on Fridays used to be pronounced only after the Imam had taken his seat (on the pulpit).
