In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
"May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"
Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge
with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever
Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no
one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear
witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
O you who believe! Fear Allâh (by doing all that He has ordered and by
abstaining from all that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. [Obey Him,
be thankful to Him, and remember Him always], and die not except in a state of
Islâm (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allâh. (Aali Imran 3:102)
O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person
(Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them
both He created many men and women and fear Allâh through Whom you demand your
mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship. Surely,
Allâh is Ever an All­Watcher over you. (An-Nisa 4:1)
O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him, and speak (always)
the truth. (Al-Ahzab 33:70)

The virtues of Jumuah (Friday) prayer
Question: I would like to know some of the ahaadeeth which speak of the virtues
of Jumuah prayer.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
Many ahaadeeth have been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) which explain the virtues of Jumuah prayer. For example:
1 Expiation of Sins
Muslim (233) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: The
five daily prayers, and from one Jumuah to the next, are an expiation for
whatever sins come in between, so long as one does not commit any major sin.
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
as much as Allaah decrees for him, then listens attentively until the khutbah
is over, then prays with him (the imam), will be forgiven for (his sins)
between that and the next Jumuah and three more days. Narrated by Muslim, 857
Al-Nawawi said:
The scholars said that what is meant by his being forgiven between the two
Jumuahs and three more days is that a good deed is worth ten like it, so he
will be rewarded with ten hasanahs for each of the good deeds that he did on
Friday. Some of our companions said: what is meant by what is between the two
Jumuahs is from Jumuah prayer and the khutbah until the same time on the
following Friday, so that it will be seven days, no more and no less, then
three days are added making ten in all.
2 Coming early to Jumuah brings a great reward.
Al-Bukhaari (814) and Muslim (850) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be
pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) said: Whoever does ghusl on Friday like ghusl for janaabah, then
goes to the prayer (in the first hour, i.e., early), it is as if he sacrificed
a camel. Whoever goes in the second hour, it is as if he sacrificed a cow;
whoever goes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a horned ram; whoever
goes in the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in
the fifth hour it is as if he offered an egg. When the imam comes out, the
angels come to listen to the khutbah.
3 Walking towards Masjid
If a person walks to Jumuah prayer, for every step he will have the reward
of fasting and praying qiyaam for one year.
It was narrated from Aws ibn Aws al-Thaqafi that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever does ghusl on Friday
and causes (his wife) to do ghusl, and sets out early, and comes close to the
imam and listens and keeps quiet, for every step he takes he will have the
reward of fasting and praying qiyaam for one year.
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, after quoting the
ahaadeeth which speak of the virtues of Jumuah prayer:
What we have quoted, when taken all together, indicates that the expiation of
sins from one Friday to the next is subject to all the conditions mentioned
above being met, namely doing ghusl, cleaning oneself, putting on perfume,
wearing one's best clothes, walking in a calm and dignified manner, not
stepping over people, not pushing between two people, not offending others,
praying naafil prayers, listening attentively and avoiding idle speech.
And Allaah knows best.
