Friday has many unique features and virtues that Allah swt
has bestowed upon this day and not others.
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah and Hudhayfah (may Allah
swt be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah swt (peace and blessings
of Allah swt be upon him) said: “Allah swt led those who came before us away
from Friday. The Jews had Saturday, and the Christians had Sunday. Then Allah
swt brought us and Allah swt guided us to Friday. So there is Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, and thus they will follow us on the Day of Resurrection. We are the
last of the people of this world but we will be the first on the Day of
Resurrection, and we will be dealt with before all others.” (Muslim)
1. Abu Hurairah (may Allah swt be pleased with him) reported
that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it
Adam was created; on it he was made to enter Paradise; on it he was expelled
from it; and the [last] hour (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) will take place on
no day other than Friday.” (Muslim).
2. Abu Hurairah (may Allah swt be pleased with him) reported
that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“The five [daily prescribed] Prayers, and Friday [prayer] to
the [next] Friday [prayer], and Ramadan to the next Ramadan, is expiation of
the sins committed in between them, so long as major sins are avoided.”
(Muslim).
3. Abu Hurairah (may Allah swt be pleased with him) reported
that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said while talking about
Friday,
“There is a time on it (i.e. Friday) at which Allah grants
the request of any Muslim servant who, at this time, happens to be asking Allah
for something while standing in Prayer” And the Prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him) pointed with his hand to indicate that this period of time is very
short. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
4. Abu Sa`id A-Khudri (may Allah swt be pleased with him)
reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Whoever reads Surat Al-Kahf on the night of Friday, will
have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (i.e., the
Ka`bah).” (Al-Daarimi).
5. Aws ibn Aws (may Allah swt be pleased with him) reported
that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Among the best of your days is Friday. So, pray to Allah
frequently on it to bless me, for such supplications of you will be presented
to me.” (Abu Dawud).
6. Salman (may Allah swt be pleased with him) reported that
the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“If a man takes bath on Friday, cleans himself as much as he
can, oils his hair, applies perfume available in his house, sets forth for the
mosque, does not separate two people (to make a seat for himself), performs as
many Prayers as written [by Allah] for him, remains silent when the Imam
speaks, his sins between that Friday and the following Friday will be
forgiven.” (Al-Bukhari).
7. Ibn `Umar and Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with
them) reported:
We heard the Messenger of Allah saying (while delivering
Khutbah on his wooden pulpit), “Either some people stop neglecting the Friday
prayers, or Allah will seal their hearts and they will be among the heedless.”
(Muslim).
8. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported
that the Prophet (peace and blessings 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 talk.” (Muslim).
9. It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: The Messenger (peace
and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) said: “The best prayer before Allah swt
is Fajr prayer on Friday in congregation.”(Narrated by al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab
al-Eemaan).
10. It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr said: The
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There is
no Muslim who dies during the day of Friday or the night of Friday but Allah
swt will protect him from the trial of the grave.” (Al-Tirmidhi)
