The congregational prayer (Jumu’ah prayer) is one of the obligatory
acts in Islam and one of the great gatherings of Muslims. The angels sit
in wait for the arrival of people.
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “On the day
of Jummah, the angels stand at the entrance of that masjid in which
Jumuah salat is to be offered. They write down the name of the person
who enters the masjid first, and thereafter the name of the person who
follows, and they continue doing this. The person who entered first will
receive the reward of sacrificing a camel in the path of Allah; the one
who followed him will get the reward of sacrificing a cow, thereafter a
chicken, thereafter the reward of giving an egg as charity in the path
of Allah.Once the khutbah commences, the angels close the register and
begin listening to the khutbah.”
[Bukhari and Muslim]
