Sunan an-Nasa'i 1385

Nasr ibn ‘Ali ibn Nasr narrated to us, from ‘Abd al-A‘la, who said: Ma‘mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from al-Aghar Abu ‘Abdullah, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When Friday comes, the angels sit at the doors of the mosque and record those who come for Friday prayer. When the imam comes out, the angels roll up the scrolls.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) then said: “One who comes early to Friday prayer is like one who offers a camel; then like one who offers a cow; then like one who offers a sheep; then like one who offers a duck; then like one who offers a chicken; then like one who offers an egg.”
