Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu The Virtue of Listening attentively to the Jumuah Khutbah
Listening attentively to the khateeb on Friday is an obligation, and it is not permissible for the Muslims to be careless about that and fidget, talk or ignore the khutbah. The following ahaadeeth have been narrated concerning the virtues of listening attentively to the khutbah. 1 Expiation for sins committed between this Friday and the previous Friday. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever does ghusl, then comes to Jumuah, and prays what is decreed for him, then listens attentively until the khutbah is over, then prays with him (the imam), will be forgiven (his sins) between that and the next Jumuah, and three days more. Narrated by Muslim (857); a similar report was narrated from Salmaan al-Faarisi by al-Bukhaari (883). 2 For every step he takes to the mosque, the reward of fasting and praying qiyaam for one year will be recorded for him. It was narrated that Aws ibn Aws said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever washes his head and his body (ghusl) on Friday, then sets out early, is present at the beginning of the khutbah and is close (to the imam), then listens attentively, for every step he takes he will have the reward of fasting and praying qiyaam for one year. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (496) who said: it is a hasan hadeeth. It was classed as saheeh by al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (3/227) and by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. 3 The reward for praying Jumuah depends on listening attentively. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: If you say to your companion, Listen attentively on a Friday, when the imam is delivering the khutbah, then you have engaged in idle speech. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (934) and Muslim (851). And Allaah knows best. http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/89575 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To subscribe send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://islammyreligion.wordpress.com Yahoo!
