Hadhrat Ali Ibn Abu Taalib (RA) narrated: on the pulpit in the mosque of Kufah: When
Friday comes, the devils go to the markets with their flags, and
involve people in their needsand prevent them from the Friday prayer.
The angels come early in the morning, sit at the door of the mosque, and
record that so-and-so came at the first hour, and so-and-so came at the
second hour until the imam comes out (for preaching). When a man sits
in a place where he can listen (to the sermon) and look (at the imam),
where he remains silent and does not interrupt, he will receive a double
reward. If he stays away, sits in a place where he cannot listen (to
the sermon), silent, and does not interrupt, he will receive the reward
only once. If he sits in a place where he can listen (to the sermon) and
look (at the imam), and he does not remain silent, he will have the
burden of it. If anyone says to his companion sitting besides him to be
silent (while the imam is preaching), he is guilty of idle talk. Anyone
who interrupts (during the sermon) will receive nothing (no reward) on
that Friday. Then he (the narrator) says in the end of this tradition: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say so. (Abu Dawood 1046)
1. Jummah preparations should begin on Thursday such as clipping the nails, removing of the hair etc (Ihya aul-Uloom, vol. 1, page 161)
2. To have a bath (Ghusl) (Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)
On one Friday, Rasulallah said: "O Muslims!
Allah Ta'ala has made this day a day of Eid. So have a bath on this day,
whoever has perfume should apply it, and use the Miswaak.“ (Ibn Majah)
3. To use Miswaak (Ibid)
4. To use Attar (Perfume) (Ibid)
5. To wear nice clothes (Abu Dawood, Chapter of Ghusl on the day of Jummah)
6. To proceed early as possible to the Masjid for Jummah
Rasulallah (Pbuh) said: "On the day of Jummah,
the angels stand at the entrance of that Masjid in which Jummah salaat
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)
7. To walk to the Masjid if possible for every step is a reward of a years Nafl Fast (Tirmidhi)
8. One should listen very attentively to the khutba even if one does not
understand. One should not speak or even warn another to keep quite
while the khutba is in progress.
9. To try to sit as close as possible to the Imaam. (Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi)
10. If the Saffs (rows) are already filled, one should not jump over the
shoulders of the musallies in order to get to the front. (Abu Dawood)
11. One should not fiddle with clothes or fingers but listen attentively (Ibn Majah)
12. When Rasulallah (Pbuh) name is mentioned in the khutba then it is
permissible to recite durood in the heart only without the movement of
the lips or tongue.
13. Between the two khutba’s one should make dua. It is permissible to
make dua without raising hands or moving the lips (I.e. dua should be
made in the heart only without the movement of the lips or the tongue) (Aadaab -E - Zindagee)
14. To read: Surah Al A’ala (Sura no 87) in the first rakaat of Jummah Salah and Surah Gaathia (Surah no 88) in the second rakaat. (Bukhari)
15. Related by Hakim and Bayhaqi, from Abu Sa`id “Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday, light shall shine forth for him between the two Fridays.” (Ibn Hajar, Talkhis al- Habir)
16. Rasulallah (Pbuh) is reported to have said, “Recite Durood upon me in abundance on the day of Jummah since they are presented to me.” (Ibn Majah)
17 . Making abundant dua on Jummah
Rasulallah (Pbuh) said: "There is such an hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes dua in it, his dua will definitely be accepted.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
18 . Reciting Durood 80 times after Asr:
According to a Hadith recorded in Tabarani on the authority of
Abdullah Ibn Abbas (RA) : Abu Hurraira (RA) reports that the Holy
Prophet (Pbuh) said: “Whoever recites the
following Durood eighty times immediately after Asr Salaat on Friday,
before standing up from his place, Allah will forgive eighty years of
sins and grant him the reward equivalent to eighty years of worship.”
Allahumma salli alaa muhammadinin nabiyyil ummiyyi wa-ala aalihi wasallim tasleema
O Allah bless Muhammad, the unlettered Prophet, and his family and grant them best of peace. (Jame Sagheer)
19. Abu Hurraira narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Pbuh) said: The
five daily prayers, and from one Jummah to the next, are an expiation
for whatever sins come in between, so long as one does not commit any
major sin. (Muslim, 233)
20. It was narrated from Abu Hurraira that the Prophet (Pbuh) said: Whoever
does Ghusl then comes to Jummah, and prays as much as Allah 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 Jummah and three more days. (Muslim, 857)
Al-Nawawi (Ra) said:
The scholars said that what is meant by his being forgiven between the
two Jummah and three more days is that a good deed is worth ten like it,
so he will be rewarded with ten rewards 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 Jummah is from Jummah 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.
21. Coming early to Jummah brings a great reward.
Abu Hurraira (Ra) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Pbuh) 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.”
(Bukhari, 814 and Muslim, 850)
22. If a person walks to Jummah 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 Allah (Pbuh) 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-Tirmidhi, 496)
Ibn al-Qayyim (Ra) said in Zaad al-Maâ’aad, 1/285:
Finally after quoting the hadith which speak of the virtues of Jummah 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 nafil prayers, listening
attentively and avoiding idle speech.
May Allah give us the ability to act upon all of these virtuous deeds and Sunnah of Rasulallah (Pbuh). Ameen
