Virtues of Jummah Namaaz as Mentioned in Hadith

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 .’

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 4)
