Friday Prayer

كتاب الجمعة

Chapter 38: If some people leave while the Imam during the Salat-ul-Jumu'ah

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah

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 mosque), and only twelve persons remained with the Prophet. So this verse was revealed: "But when they see Some bargain or some amusement, They disperse headlong to it, And leave you standing." (62.11)

Chapter 39: To offer Salat before and after the Jumu'ah prayer

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray two rak`at before the Zuhr prayer and two rak`at after it. He also used to pray two rak`at after the Maghrib prayer in his house, and two rak`at after the `Isha' prayer. He never prayed after Jumua prayer till he departed (from the Mosque), and then he would pray two rak`at at home.

Chapter 40: When the Salat is ended, you may disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d

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.

Narrated Sahl

As above with the addition: We never had an afternoon nap nor meals except after offering the Jumua prayer.
