Virtues of Friday: In the Light of Quran and Sunnah

This Articles describes Major Virtues and actions of Friday from Quran and Sunnah.Friday is called Al-Jumu`ah because it is derived from Al-Jam`, literally, gathering. The people of Islam gather weekly, on every Friday in the major places of worship. It was during Friday when Allah finished the creation, the sixth day, during which Allah created the heavens and earth. During Friday, Allah created Adam, and he was placed in Paradise, and ironically, it was a Friday when he was taken out of Paradise. It will be on a Friday when the Last Hour will commence. There is an hour during Friday, wherein no faithful servant asks Allah for something good, but Allah will give him what he asked for.

Virtues of attending Jumah.

 

Allah Says,
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٌ۬ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ
“O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salaah (prayer) on Friday (Jumu‘ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allaah [Jumu‘ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salaah (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing). That is better for you if you did but know!”[Surah al-Jumu’ah 62:9] Imam Ibn-Katir commented:Friday was called, `Arubah. It is a fact that previous nations were informed about Friday, but they were led astray from it. Allah commanded the believers to gather to worship Him on Friday,
يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْاْ إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ
(O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for the Salah on Al-Jumu`ah (Friday), then hasten (Fas`aw) to the remembrance of Allah) meaning, go to it and head for it. The meaning of Sa`y (hasten) here does not refer to walking quickly. It only refers to the importance of it. `Umar bin Al-Khattab and Ibn Mas`ud – may Allah be pleased with them – recited it; (فَامْضُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ) (“Then proceed to the remembrance of Allah.”) As for walking in haste to the prayer, that was indeed prohibited, since it was recorded in the Two Sahihs from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said,
إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ الْإِقَامَةَ فَامْشُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّكِينَةَ وَالْوَقَارَ وَلَا تُسْرِعُوا، فَمَا أَدْرَكْتُمْ فَصَلُّوا وَمَا فَاتَكُمْ فَأَتِمُّوا
(When you hear the Iqamah, proceed to offer the prayer with calmness and solemnity and do not rush. And pray whatever you catch, and complete whatever you have missed.) This is the wording with Al-Bukhari. Abu Qatadah said, “While we were praying behind the Messenger of Allah he heard commotion. At the end of the prayer, the Prophet said;
مَا شَأْنُكُمْ
(What is the matter with you) They said, `We hastened to the prayer.’ The Prophet said,
«فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا، إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَامْشُوا وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّكِينَةَ فَمَا أَدْرَكْتُمْ فَصَلُّوا وَمَا فَاتَكُمْ فَأَتِمُّوا»
(Don’t do that. When you come for prayer, there should be tranquility upon you. Pray what remains of the prayer and complete what you have missed.)” The Two Sahihs collected this Hadith. Al-Hasan commented, “By Allah! Hastening to the prayer is not accomplished by the feet. Indeed they were prohibited from coming to prayer without tranquility and dignity. Rather it is about the hearts, the intention, and the submission.”

Abu Al-Ash’ath narrated that:He heard Aws bin Aws, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) say: “The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: ‘Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday and washes (ghassala), and comes early to the masjid, walking not riding, and sits close to the imam and listens attentively and does not engage in idle speech, for every step he takes he will have (the reward of) a year’s worth of good deeds.'” (Sahih)

Yazid bin Abi Mariam said:”Abayah bin Rafi’ met me when I was walking to Friday prayers, and he said: ‘Rejoice, for these steps you are taking are in the cause of Allah. I heard Abu ‘Abs say: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: Anyone whose feet become dusty in the cause of Allah, he will be forbidden to the Fire.'”

Hadith-4
Narrated Salman-Al-Farsi:The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) (p.b.u.h) said, “Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven.”
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ وَدِيعَةَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ “‏ لاَ يَغْتَسِلُ رَجُلٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَيَتَطَهَّرُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْ طُهْرٍ، وَيَدَّهِنُ مِنْ دُهْنِهِ، أَوْ يَمَسُّ مِنْ طِيبِ بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ، فَلاَ يُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ يُنْصِتُ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ الإِمَامُ، إِلاَّ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الأُخْرَى ‏”‏‏.‏

Hadith-5
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-‘As:The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: Three types of people attend Friday prayer; One is present in a frivolous way and that is all he gets from it; another comes with a supplication, Allah may grant or refuse his request as He wishes; another is present silently and quietly with-out stepping over a Muslim or annoying anyone, and that is an atonement for his sins till the next Friday and three days more, the reason being that Allah, the Exalted, says: “He who does a good deed will have ten times as much” (vi.160).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏”‏ يَحْضُرُ الْجُمُعَةَ ثَلاَثَةُ نَفَرٍ رَجُلٌ حَضَرَهَا يَلْغُو وَهُوَ حَظُّهُ مِنْهَا وَرَجُلٌ حَضَرَهَا يَدْعُو فَهُوَ رَجُلٌ دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنْ شَاءَ أَعْطَاهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ مَنَعَهُ وَرَجُلٌ حَضَرَهَا بِإِنْصَاتٍ وَسُكُوتٍ وَلَمْ يَتَخَطَّ رَقَبَةَ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُؤْذِ أَحَدًا فَهِيَ كَفَّارَةٌ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَزِيَادَةُ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ ‏{‏ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا ‏}‏ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Hadith-6
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ibn as-Sabbaq that The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said in a jumua, “Muslims! Allah has made this day a festival day (id) so do ghusl, and it will not harm whoever has perfume to apply some of it, and use a tooth-stick . ”
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ السَّبَّاقِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فِي جُمُعَةٍ مِنَ الْجُمَعِ ‏ “‏ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ عِيدًا فَاغْتَسِلُوا وَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طِيبٌ فَلاَ يَضُرُّهُ أَنْ يَمَسَّ مِنْهُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Narrated Tariq bin Shihab:A Jew said to `Umar, “O Chief of the Believers, if this verse: ‘This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favors upon you, and have chosen for you, Islam as your religion.’ (5.3) had been revealed upon us, we would have taken that day as an `Id (festival) day.” `Umar said, “I know definitely on what day this Verse was revealed; it was revealed on the day of `Arafat, on a Friday.”

Hadith-9
It is narrated by Abu Huraira and Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:It was Friday from which Allah diverted those who were before us. For the Jews (the day set aside for prayer) was Sabt (Saturday), and for the Christians it was Sunday. And Allah turned towards us and guided us to Friday (as the day of prayer) for us. In fact, He (Allah) made Friday, Saturday and Sunday (as days of prayer). In this order would they (Jews and Christians) come after us on the Day of Resurrection. We are the last of (the Ummahs) among the people in this world and the first among the created to be judged on the Day of Resurrection. In one narration it is: ‘, to be judged among them”.

Hadith-10
Narrated AbuHurayrah:The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he was expelled (from Paradise), on it his contrition was accepted, on it he died, and on it the Last Hour will take place. On Friday every beast is on the lookout from dawn to sunrise in fear of the Last Hour, but not jinn and men, and it contains a time at which no Muslim prays and asks anything from Allah but He will give it to him. Ka’b said: That is one day every year. So I said: It is on every Friday. Ka’b read the Torah and said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) has spoken the truth. AbuHurayrah said: I met Abdullah ibn Salam and told him of my meeting with Ka’b. Abdullah ibn Salam said: I know what time it is. AbuHurayrah said: I asked him to tell me about it. Abdullah ibn Salam said: It is at the very end of Friday. I asked: How can it be when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) has said: “No Muslim finds it while he is praying….” and this is the moment when no prayer is offered. Abdullah ibn Salam said: Has the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) not said: “If anyone is seated waiting for the prayer, he is engaged in the prayer until he observes it.” I said: Yes, it is so.

Going early for Friday Prayer.

 

Hadith-12
Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said, “When it is a Friday, the angels stand at the gate of the mosque and keep on writing the names of the persons coming to the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. The example of the one who enters the mosque in the earliest hour is that of one offering a camel (in sacrifice). The one coming next is like one offering a cow and then a ram and then a chicken and then an egg respectively. When the Imam comes out (for Jumua prayer) they (i.e. angels) fold their papers and listen to the Khutba.”

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Abdullah ibn Masud said to a certain man, “You are in a time when men of understanding (fuqaha) are many and Qur’an reciters are few, when the limits of behaviour defined in the Qur’an are guarded and its letters are lost, when few people ask and many give, when they make the prayer long and the khutba short, and put their actions before their desires. A time will come upon men when their fuqaha are few but their Qur’an reciters are many, when the letters of the Qur’an are guarded carefully but its limits are lost, when many ask but few give, when they make the khutba long but the prayer short, and put their desires before their actions.”

Some jurists interpreted the text to mean dislikeability and not prohibition, because it was reported that some of the companions used to sit in this position. Moreover, some scholars stated that the wisdom for the dislikeability is that this position inclines a person to sleepiness which leads to invalidating his ablution. Source

 

Hadith-49
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) as saying:When you tell (your brother on Friday) to be silent while the imam is giving the sermon you are guilty of idle talk.

Second Adhaan on Friday.

 

Hadith-55
Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 13, Number 35:
Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid:In the life-time 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.”

Hadith-56
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 Madina had increased. In the life-time of the Prophet there was only one Muadh-dhin and the Adhan used to be pronounced only after the Imam had taken his seat (i.e. on the pulpit). (Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Number 36)

Hadith-57
Narrated Az-Zuhri:I heard As-Saib bin Yazid, saying, “In the life-time of Allah’s Apostle, and Abu Bakr and Umar, the Adhan for the Jumua prayer used to be pronounced after the Imam had taken his seat on the pulpit. But when the people increased in number during the caliphate of ‘Uthman, he introduced a third Adhan (on Friday for the Jumua prayer) and it was pronounced at Az-Zaura’ and that new state of affairs remained so in the succeeding years. (Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Number 39)
Note:First Adhan: After the Imam had taken his seat (i.e. on the pulpit).Second Adhan: is the Iqamat (which can be described as an Adhan too).These two Adhan were during the life time of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and Abu Bakr and Umar (RadhiyAllahu Anhuma).The third Adhan mentioned in the above Ahadith is before the Khutba Adhan, this was introduced by Uthman (RadhiyAllahu Anhu).

During the era of the 4 khulfa-e-rashideen, the khalifas introduced two Adhan due to some reason but those things were only for limited period of time because they cannot make shariya. These practices were started by rightly guided khalifas, it was accepted by all consensus of muslims (Al-Muhajireen and Al-Ansar) during their era and their actions are supported by 2 hadiths from Prophet(peace be upon him):

Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Those of you who will outlive me will see many controversies, so follow my sunnah and that of the rightly-guided Caliphs” [ibn Hibban and al-Hakim, Abu dawood Book 40, Chapter Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah)Number 4590].

Allah will never let my Ummah agree upon misguidance, and the hand of Allah is over the group (Jama’ah)[Saheeh Al-Jame 1848,Silsilah as-Saheeha 3/319 no: 1331].

►Two Adhan of Friday by Uthman (ra):

✦The adhaan introduced by Uthmaan ra was deemed to be Bidah by Abdullah bin Umar

✦It is mentioned in Musannif Ibn Abi Shaiba that Ibn Umar ra said قال الاذان الاول يوم الجمعة بدعة
Source: http://www.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?flag=1&bk_no=10&ID=585

“The first call to prayer on the day of Friday is an Innovation”[See Fath ul Bari ]

✦At That time we would follow this ruling but now we are not obliged to do so.

✦The reason is mentioned in the hadeeth itself that “But at the time of ‘Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with him), when the number of people increased he added the third call.”[Bukhari]

✦and that adhaan was given in al-Zawraa'(not in the Masjid) which was a place in the market of Madeenah. as said by Imam Bukhari, Because many of the houses were far away from the masjid. So because of the hadith of following Rightly Guided Caliph Sahaba accepted the Ijtihaad of Uthmaan ra.

✦Plus when Ali ra became Caliph, he did not do that because there was no need of it. Muhammad Tahir Ibn Ashoor said that in Koofah era of Ali bin abi Talib ra the adhaan of Jummah was one as it was in the era of Messenger of Allah peace be upon him.
أن علي بن أبي طالب لما كان بالكوفة لم يؤذن الجمعة إلا أذانا واحدا كما كان في زمن النبيء – صلى الله عليه وسلم – وألغي الأذان الذي جعله عثمان بالمدينة . فلعل الذي أرجع الأذان الثاني بعض خلفاء بني أمية قال مالك في المجموعة : إن هشام بن عبد الملك أحدث أذانا ثانيا بين يديه في المسجد .
