Allah Almighty says
یٰۤاَیُّہَا
الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا نُوۡدِیَ لِلصَّلٰوۃِ مِنۡ یَّوْمِ الْجُمُعَۃِ
فَاسْعَوْا اِلٰی ذِکْرِ اللہِ وَ ذَرُوا الْبَیۡعَ ؕ ذٰلِکُمْ خَیۡرٌ لَّکُمْ
اِنۡ کُنۡتُمْ تَعْلَمُوۡنَ ﴿۹﴾
‘O Believers, When the Azaan is called out for Namaaz on a
Friday, then go swiftly towards the remembrance of Allah, and leave all business
transactions. This is best for you, if (only) you knew!’ [Surah Jummah, Verse 9]
The Virtues of Jummah
Hadith 1 & 2: In the
Sahihain it has been reported from Abu Hurairah رضی
اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘We are the last (in other words we are
the last to come to this world) but on the day of Qiyaamat we will be the
first, even though others received the book before us (and we after them). This
was the day (Jummah) which was made Fard upon them (in other words that they should
revere it) but they went against this (disregarded it), and Allah has guided us
to it and others follow us (in this). The Jews set aside the next day (in other
words the Saturday) and the Christians set aside the day after (in other words
the Sunday).’ The narration of Muslim is from him (Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ) as well and from Huzaifa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ, ‘We are last amongst the Ahl-e-Duniya, but
first on the Day of Qiyaamat, for our judgement will be given before all the
other creation.’
Hadith 3: Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi
and Nasa’i report from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The best day on which the sun rises is
a Friday. On this day (Friday) Adam علیہ السلام was born,
and on this day he was allowed entrance into Jannat (Paradise), and on the same
day he was commanded to descend from Jannat (onto earth). The Day of Qiyaamat
will be established on a Friday.’
Hadith 4&5: Abu Dawud,
Nasa’i, Ibn Majah and Baihaqi report from Aus ibn Aus رضی
اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The Best day amongst your days is a
Friday. In it, Adam علیہ السلام was born, and he passed away on the same day, and Nafakha (i.e. the
blowing of the Soor for the second time) on the same day will be Sa’aqa (i.e.
the blowing of the Soor for the first time). Increase your recitation of Durood
upon me on this day, for your Durood is presented to me. The people (companions)
asked, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم ! How will our Durood before presented to you after you have
passed from this world?’ He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Allah has made it Haraam upon the
earth to eat (devour) the bodies of the Ambia’.’
In the Narration of Ibn Majah it is mentioned that, ‘Send Durood upon
me in abundance on a Friday, because it is well known in regards to this day,
that Angels present themselves in it, and one who recites Durood upon me, his Durood
is presented to me.’ Abu Dawud رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ says that he then said, ‘And after your passing away!’ He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم
said, ‘Undoubtedly Allah has made it Haraam
upon the earth to eat the bodies of the Ambia. The Nabi of Allah is alive and
he is blessed with sustenance.’
Hadith 6 & 7: Ibn Majah
reports from Abu Lubaba bin Abdul Munzir and Ahmed reports from Sa’ad ibn Mu’az
رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما
that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘A
Friday is the Leader of all the day and by Allah it is regarded as the most
virtuous, and it is more virtuous than Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha by Allah,
and in it there are five attributes:
1. Allah created Adam علیہ
السلام on this day.
2. On this day, Allah sent him down to the earth.
3. On this day, Allah caused him to pass away.
4. In this day, there is a special time, that whatever a
servant asks for in it,
Allah will give it to him, as long as he does not ask
for something Haraam.
5. On this day, Qiyaamat will occur.
There is no close Angel, (of the) the skies, the earth, wind,
mountains or Seas who does not fear a Friday.’
Hadith 8-10: Bukhari
and Muslim report from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘On a Friday, there is such a time that
if a Muslim gets this (special) moment, and he asks for any good from Allah at
this time, then Allah will give it to him.’ In the narration of Muslim, this
too has been mentioned that, ‘It is a very short space of time’. Now, in regards
to when this time comes, there are many narrations in this regard. There are
two such narrations that are very strong. One narration says that (this time)
is from the time the Imam sits down for Khutbah until the end of the Namaaz.
This Hadith has been reported by Muslim from Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa who
reported from his father, who narrated it from Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم. The second narration states that it is the last time of Jummah.
Imam Maalik, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi, Nasa’i and Ahmed report from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ. He says, ‘I went towards the Mount Toor and I
met with Ka’ab Ahbaar and sat with him. He mentioned to me some reports from
the Taurait and I presented to him Ahadith of the Beloved Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم. One of the Hadith, which I narrated to him, was that,
Rasoolullah صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The Best day amongst your days is a Friday.
In it, Adam علیہ السلام was born, and on the same day he was commanded to descend (to
earth), and on the same day his Tauba was accepted, and on the same day he
passed from this world. On the same day, Qiyaamat will occur, and there is no
animal (creature) that does not give out a cry before sunrise on the morning of
a Friday, in fear of Qiyaamat, except for Man and Jin. In it, there is such a
time that in performing his Namaaz if a Muslim attains it, then whatever he
asks from Allah at this time, Allah will give it to him’. Ka’ab said, ‘such a
time comes only once in a year’. I said, ‘Actually, it comes on every Friday’.
Ka’ab then read the Taurait and said, ‘Rasoolullah صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم
said the truth’. Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ says, ‘I met with Abdullah ibn Salaam رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ and mentioned to him about my sitting with
Ka’ab Ahbaar and about the Hadith which I discussed with regards to the Jummah,
and I mentioned that Ka’ab said that it is a time which comes once in a year,
so Abdullah bin Salaam رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ said,
‘Ka’ab was wrong’. I then said that Ka’ab read from the Taurait, and then said
but that time comes once every Friday. He said, ‘Ka’ab has spoken the truth’.
Then Abdullah ibn Salaam رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ said, ‘Do
you know when that time comes?’ I said, ‘you tell me and do not be miserly
(i.e. secretive about it)’. He said, ‘It is the last of a Friday’. I said, ‘How
can it be the last portion whereas Rasoolullah صلی اللہ
تعالی علیہ وسلم
said, ‘If a Muslim attains it in performing Namaaz,
and that is not a time of Namaaz’.’ Abdullah ibn Salaam رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ said, ‘Rasoolullah صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم
said, ‘Did Nabi صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم not say
that one who is seated in a Majlis in anticipation of Namaaz, is in Namaaz’.’ I
said, ‘Yes’. So he said, ‘This is what it means. In other words performing Namaaz
here means to sit in anticipation of Namaaz (commencing)’.’
Hadith 11: Tirmizi reported from
Anas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The
moment (of acceptance) which is desired on a Friday, search for it from After
Asr until the setting of the sun.’
Hadith 12: It is in Tabrani Awsat
on merit of a narration certified as Hassan that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Allah
will not leave any Muslim on a Friday without making his Maghfirat (i.e.
without pardoning him).’
Hadith 13: It is reported from
Abu Ya’la that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘There are 24 hours in a day and night
on a Friday. There is no hour on a Friday in which Allah does not free six hundred
thousand from the fire of Hell, on whom hell had become compulsory (Waajib).’
