Chapter 17: What is to be recited on Friday

Ibn Abbas reported

The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in the morning prayer on Friday Surah" Alif-Lam-Mim, Tanz'il ul-Sajda" (Surah xxxii.): Surely there came over the man a time" (Surah lxxvii) and he used to recite in Jumu'a prayer Surahs Jumu'a and al-Munafiqin.

A hadith like this has been narrated by Sufyan with the same chain of transmitters.

Mukhawwil has narrated this hadith on the authority of Sufyan.

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in the dawn prayer on Friday" Alif-Lam-Mim, Tanzil" and" Surely there came."

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in the dawn prayer on Friday

" Alif-Lam-Mim, Tanzil" in the first rak'ah, and in the second one:" Surely there came over the man a time when he was nothing that could be mentioned."

Chapter 18: Prayer after Jumu`ah

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying

When any one of you observes the Jumu'a prayer (two obligatory rak'ahs in congregation), he should observe four (rak'ahs) afterwards.

Suhail reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said

When you observe prayer after (the two obligatory rak'ahs) of Jumu'ah, you should observe four rak'ahs (and 'Amr in his narration has made this addition that Ibn Idris said this on the authority of Suhail): And if you are in a hurry on account of something, you should observe two rak'ahs in the mosque and two when you return (to your house).

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying

When any one amongst you observes prayer after Jumu'a, he should observe four rak'ahs. (In the hadith transmitted by Jarir the word minkum is not recorded.)

Nafi' reported that when 'Abdullah (b. 'Umar) observed the Friday prayer and came back he observed two rak'ahs in his house, and then said

The Messenger of Allah (may peace be updn him) used to do this.

'Abdullah b. 'Umar, while describing the Nafl prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), said

He did not observe (Nafl) prayer after Jumu'a till he went back and observed two rak'ahs in his house. Yahya said: I guess that I uttered these words (before Imam Malik) that he of course observed (them).

Salim narrated on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe two rak'ahs after Jumu'a.

`Umar b. `Ata' b. Abu Khuwar said that Nafi` b. Jubair sent him to al- Sa'ib the son of Namir's sister to ask him about what he had seen in the prayer of Mu`awiya. He said

Yes, I observed the Jumu`a prayer along with him in Maqsura and when the Imam pronounced salutation I stood up at my place and observed (Sunan rak`ahs). As he entered (the apartment) he sent for me and said: Do not repeat what you have done. Whenever you have observed the Jumu`a prayer, do not observe (Sunan prayer) till you, have talked or gone out, for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had ordered us to do this and not to combine two (types of) prayers without talking or going out.

The same hadith is narrated on the authority of 'Umar b. Ata' but with this modification

When he (the Imam) pronounced salutation I stood up at my place. No mention was made of the Imam in it.
