* Abu Huraira Narrated : I heard Allah’s Apostle Prophet Muhammadﷺ saying, “We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection though the former nations were given the Holy Scriptures before us. And this was their day (Friday) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them but they differed about it. So Allah gave us the guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in this respect: the Jews’ (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and the Christians’ (is) the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday).” Volume 2, Book 13, Number 1
* Narrated by ‘Abdullah bin Umar : Allah’s Apostle Prophet Muhammadﷺ said, “Anyone of you attending the Friday (prayers) should take a bath.” Volume 2, Book 13, Number 2
* Narrated by Ibn ‘Umar : While Umar bin Al-Khattab was standing and delivering the sermon on a Friday, one of the companions of the Prophet, who was one of the foremost Muhajirs (emigrants) came. ‘Umar said to him, “What is the time now?” He replied, “I was busy and could not go back to my house till I heard the Adhan. I did not perform more than the ablution.” Thereupon ‘Umar said to him, “Did you perform only the ablution although you know that Allah’s Apostle Prophet Muhammadﷺ used to order us to take a bath (on Fridays)?” Volume 2, Book 13, Number 3
* Narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudri
Allah’s Apostle Prophet Muhammadﷺ said, “The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every male (Muslim) who has attained the age of puberty.” Volume 2, Book 13, Number 4
* Narrated by Abu Huraira
Allah’s Apostle Prophet Muhammadﷺ said, “Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah’s cause); and whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts delivering the Khutba), the angels present themselves to listen to the Khutba.” Volume 2, Book 13, Number 6
