Virtues of going early for Jummah & Prohibition
of Climbing over the Necks of People
Hadith 49: Bukhari and Muslim, Tirmizi,
Maalik, Nasa’i and Ibn Majah report from Abu Hurairah رضی
اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who performs Ghusl on a Friday, just
as the Ghusl of Janaabat is performed, and he then goes (for Namaaz) in the
first session of the time, then it is as if he has made Qurbani (sacrificed) of
a camel. Also someone who goes in the second session, he has made Qurbani of a cow,
and one who went in the third session, he has made Qurbani of a sheep with
horns (ram). Also someone who goes in the fourth session, it is as if he has
given a chicken for some good reason. The one who went in the fifth session, it
is as if he has spent an egg, and then when the Imam comes out of the Khutbah,
the Angels present themselves to listen to the Zikr.
Hadith 50/52: It is in
another narration of Bukhari, Muslim and Ibn Majah from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم
said, ‘On a Friday, Angels stand at the door
of the Musjid, and they record (the names) of those who come for Jummah. (They
record) who comes first and then the one who comes next. In this Hadith, the
reward which is mentioned in the above mentioned Hadith is also mentioned here
and thereafter it is mentioned that, When the Imam comes out for the Khutbah,
the Angels fold (close) their Registers and listen to the Remembrance (i.e. the
Khutbah). A similar narration is also reported from Samurah bin Jundub and Abu
Sa’eed Khudri رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما.
Hadith 53: It is reported from Imam
Ahmed and Tabrani from Abu Umaama رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ that when the Imam comes out for the Khutbah, the Angels put away
their registers. So someone asked him, ‘Does this mean that the Jummah of the
person who came after the Imam has come out for the Khutbah was not done?’ He
said, ‘It has been done, but his name has not been recorded in the register (of
the Angels).’
Hadith 54: One, who climbs over
the necks of the people on a Friday, has built a bridge towards hell. This
Hadith has been reported by Tirmizi and Ibn Majah from Mu’az bin Anas Jahni. He
narrates it from his father. Tirmizi has mentioned that this Hadith is Ghareeb (chain
of transmission is weak) and all the Ahl-e-Ilm (Men of True Knowledge) act on
this.
Hadith 55: Ahmed, Abu Dawud and
Nasa’i report from Abdullah ibn Basar رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ that a person came climbing over the shoulders (necks) of the
people and Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم was delivering his sermon. He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم
said, ‘Sit down! You have caused discomfort.’
Hadith 56: Abu Dawud reports from
Umar bin A’as رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that he
said, ‘Three types of people come for Jummah, one type is the one who came with
absurdity. (In other words, he does something, which causes him to lose the
Thawaab, such as talking during the Khutbah or touching pebbles etc.) Then his share
in the Jummah is the same absurdity. There is that type of person who made Dua
to Allah (in Jummah), so If Allah Wills He will bless him with it or if He
wills not to, he will not. The one type of person is who presents himself quietly
and listens with attention, who neither climbed over the necks of any Muslims,
nor caused them any discomfort, then for such a person, Jummah is kaffarah (expiation)
until the next Jummah and for a further 3 days.
