Virtues of Jummah Namaaz
Hadith 20: Muslim, Abu Dawud,
Tirmizi and Ibn Majah report from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who performed proper Wudu
(Ablution) and then came for Jummah, and listened to the Khutbah and remained
silent. Then such a person shall be forgiven of those sins, which are between
that Jummah and the next Jummah, and 3 days (more), and one who touched pebbles
has been absurd. (This means that whilst listening to Khutbah to even do such things
is regarded as absurd, in other words, pebbles were lying near him and he moved
them).
Hadith 21: Tabrani reported from
Abu Maalik Ash’ari رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم
said, ‘Jummah (A Friday) is expiation for the
sins which are between this Jummah and the Jummah which follows, and for 3 days
more. This is because Almighty Allah says, ‘For one who does one good deeds,
the reward is tenfold’.’
Hadith 22: Ibn Hib’ban reports in
his Sahih from Abu Sa’eed رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that
Rasoolullah صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم says, ‘The one who does five things in one
day, Almighty Allah will record him amongst the Jannatis:
1. One who goes to check on the well-being of a sick
person.
2. One who joins a Janaazah.
3. One who keeps fast.
4. One who goes for Jummah.
5. One who frees a slave.’
Hadith 23: Tirmizi reports with
the advantage of soundness and accuracy that Yazid bin Abi Maryam says, ‘I was
on my way to Jummah and I met Abaaya bin Rafa’a bin Raafi’. He said, ‘Glad
tidings to you that these steps which you have taken are in the way of Allah. I
heard Abu Abas saying that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One whose feet become dusty in the way
of Allah, is Haraam upon the fire (of hell)’.’ The narration of Bukhari
mentions that Abaaya said, ‘I was on my way to Jummah and I met Abu Abas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ and he mentioned that words of Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم
.’
The Warnings in Regards To Omitting the
Jummah Namaaz
Hadith 24-26: Muslim
reports from Abu Hurairah and Ibn Umar and Nasa’i and Ibn Majah report from
Hazrat Ibn Ab’bas and Ibn Umar رضی اللہ
تعالیٰ عنہم that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Either people will abstain from
omitting Jummah, or Allah will place a seal onto their hearts, and they will
become amongst the ‘Ghaafileen’ (heedless).’
Hadith 27-31: It has
been stated that one who leaves out (omits) 3 Jummahs due to heedlessness
(laziness); Allah will place a seal on his heart. This has been reported by Abu
Dawud, Tirmizi, Nasa’i, Ibn Majah, Daarmi, Ibn Khuzaima and Ibn Hib’ban from
Abul Ja’d Zamri, and Imam Maalik reported it from Safwaan bin Saleem, and Imam Ahmed
reported it from Abu Qatadah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ. Tirmizi
says that this Hadith is Hassan, and Haakim says that it is Sahih on condition
of Muslim.
It is reported in a narration of Ibn Khuzaima and Ibn Hib’ban that
one who leaves out 3 Jummahs without a valid reason, he is a Munafiq.
In the narration of Zain it is mentioned that he has no connection
to Allah. Tabrani has reported from Usaama رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ that he has been recorded amongst the Munafiqeen (hypocrites). In
the narration of Imam Shafi’i, which is from Hazrat Abdullah bin Ab’bas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما
it is mentioned, ‘He has been recorded as a
Munafiq (hypocrite), which will neither be erased nor changed.’ One narration
mentions, the one who has left out 3 consecutive Jummahs, he has thrown Islam behind
him. This Hadith has been reported by Ibn Ya’la with the merit of Sahih from
Sayyiduna Ibn Ab’bas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما
Hadith 32: Ahmed, Abu Dawud and
Ibn Majah report from Samurah ibn Jundub رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم says, ‘One who leaves out Jummah without a
valid reason should give one dinar in Sadqa, and if he cannot get this, he
should give half a dinar in Sadqa. (This has probably been mentioned so that it
may be a means of Tauba being accepted, otherwise in actuality, to make Tauba
is Fard).’
Hadith 33: In Sahih Muslim
Shareef it is reported from Ibn Mas’ud رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘I intended to command someone to perform
(lead) the Namaaz, and to (go) and burn down the homes of all those who stayed
away from Jummah.’
Hadith 34: Ibn Majah reported
from Jaabir رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said,
‘Before dying direct your attention towards Almighty Allah, and before becoming
occupied (busy), strive to do virtuous deeds, and by increasing your Zikr of
Allah, and increasing your apparent and hidden Sadqaat (charity), strengthen
the connection which is between you and your Creator. If you do this, then you
shall be given Rozi (sustenance), and you will be granted assistance, and your devastation
will be eradicated, and know that this place, this day and in this year, until
Qiyaamat Allah has made Jummah Fard upon you. Anyone who in my lifetime
(worldly) or after my passing (from this world) takes it (Jummah) lightly, and
leaves it out rejecting it, and he is under an Imam (in other words Haakim-e-Islam/Muslim
Ruler), be he Aadil (just) or Zaalim (an oppressor), then Allah will neither gather
his distractions, nor will he give any Barkat in his work. Be warned! For him
there is no Namaaz, Zakaat, Hajj, sustenance or virtuous deeds, for as long as
he does not make Tauba (repent), and for the one who (sincerely) makes Tauba,
Allah will accept his Tauba.’
Note: No Namaaz etc. means
that he will not get the reward and blessing for any of these actions.
Hadith 35: Darqutni reports from
him as well (i.e. from Jaabir رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ) that
Rasoolullah صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who brings Imaan in Allah and the Last
Day, for him Jummah (Namaaz) is Fard on a Friday, except for a (severely) ill
person, a Musafir, a women, a child, or a slave. As for the one who remained
busy in entertainment and business (at this time), then Allah is unconcerned about
him, and Allah is Ghani and Hameed (Divinely Sovereign and Most Praiseworthy).’
