Virtues of Passing away On Friday or on a Friday night

Hadith 14: Ahmed and Tirmizi report from Abdullah ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Any Muslim who dies on the Day of a Friday or on a Friday night, Allah will protect him from the calamities of the grave.’

Hadith 15: Abu Nu’aim reported from Jaabir رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who dies on a Friday or a Friday night will be saved from the punishment of the grave, and on the day of Qiyaamat he will come forth in a manner whereby the seal of the Shaheeds (martyrs) will appear on him.’

Hadith 16: Hameed reported in Targheeb from Iyaas bin Bukayr that he  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who dies on a Friday, the reward of a Shaheed will be recorded for him, and he will be saved from the torment of the grave.’

Hadith 17: It is reported from Ataa that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘A Muslim male or Muslim female who passes away on a Friday or on a Friday night[1], shall be protected from the punishment and calamities of the grave. He shall meet with Allah in a condition that he (or she) shall have no accountability, and there shall be witnesses with him who will bear testimony for him, or he will have a seal.’

Hadith 18: Baihaqi reports from Anas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘A Friday night is a glowing night, and the day of a Friday is an illuminated day.’

Hadith 19: Tirmizi has reported from Ibn Ab’bas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that he recited this Ayat:

اَلْیَوْمَ اَکْمَلْتُ لَکُمْ دِیۡنَکُمْ وَاَتْمَمْتُ عَلَیۡکُمْ نِعْمَتِیۡ وَرَضِیۡتُ لَکُمُ الۡاِسْلَامَ دِیۡنًا
‘Today, I have perfected for you your Deen, and I have completed upon you my Grace and I am pleased with Islam as your Deen.’ [Surah Ma’idah, Verse 3]

A Jew was in his presence. He said, ‘if this verse were revealed upon us, we would have made it the Day of Eid (rejoicing)’. Ibn Ab’bas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما said, ‘This verse was revealed on the Day of two Eids. In other words on Jummah and Arafah. (In other words we do not have to make this the day of Eid, because the day on which Allah revealed this Ayat it was a day of two Eids, because Jummah and Arafah are both days of Eid for Muslims and on that day both these were on the same day. It was Jummah and it was the ninth of Zil Hijjah).
