وَقَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُوْدِ وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ (البروج: ٢-٣)
Allah the Almighty says: “By the promised Day and by the witness and what is witnessed.” (Qur’an 85:2-3)
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ : «نَحْنُ الْآخِرُوْنَ السَّابِقُوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، بَيْدَ أَنَّهُمْ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا وَأُوْتِيْنَاهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ، ثُمَّ هَذَا يَوْمُهُمُ الَّذِي فُرِضَ عَلَيْهِمْ - يَعْنِي الْجُمُعَةَ - فَاخْتَلَفُوْا فِيْهِ، فَهَدَانَا اللهُ لَهُ، وَالنَّاسُ لَنَا فِيهِ تَبَعُ الْيَهُودُ غَدًا وَالنَّصَارَى بَعْدَ غَدٍ». مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ.
وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مُسْلِمٍ: قَالَ: «نَحْنُ الْآخِرُوْنَ الْأَوَّلُوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَنَحْنُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بَيْدَ أَنَّهُمْ وَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ إِلَى آخِرِهِ.
وَفِي أُخْرَى لَهُ عَنْهُ وَعَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ (رضي الله عنه): قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ: «نَحْنُ الْآخِرُوْنَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْأَوَّلُوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْمَقْضِيُّ لَهُمْ قَبْلَ الْخَلَائِقِ.
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘We are the last (in time) but the first (in rank) on the Day of Resurrection, though they were given the Scripture before us and we were given it after them. This is the day (Friday) that was prescribed for them, but they differed about it. So Allah guided us to it, and the people follow us: the Jews tomorrow and the Christians the day after.’" [Agreed upon]
In a narration by Muslim: ‘We are the last (in time) but the first (in rank) on the Day of Resurrection, and we will be the first to enter Paradise.’
In another narration by Muslim from Abu Hurairah and Hudhaifah: ‘We are the last of the people of this world but the first on the Day of Resurrection, and it has been decreed for us before all creation.’
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، فِيْهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ، وَفِيْهِ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَفِيْهِ أُخْرِجَ مِنْهَا، وَلَا تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ». رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On it, Adam was created; on it, he was admitted to Paradise; on it, he was expelled from it; and the Hour will not occur except on Friday.’" [Narrated by Muslim]
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ (رضي الله عنهما) أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ الْآيَةَ (المائدة: ٣ وَعِنْدَهُ يَهُودِيُّ، فَقَالَ: لَوْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ عَلَيْنَا لَا تَخَذْنَاهَا عِيْدًا، فَقَالَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدَيْنِ، فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ وَيَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ. رَوَاهُ التَّرْمِذِيُّ.
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
"He recited the verse: ‘This day I have perfected for you your religion...’ (Qur’an 5:3) in the presence of a Jew, who said: ‘If this verse had been revealed to us, we would have taken it as a day of celebration.’ Ibn Abbas replied: ‘It was revealed on two days of celebration: Friday and the Day of Arafah.’" [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi]
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ رَجَبُ قَالَ: «اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَجَبَ وَشَعْبَانَ، وَبَلَّغْنَا رَمَضَانَ». قَالَ: وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ لَيْلَةُ غَرَّاءُ، وَيَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمُ أَزْهَرَ . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي الدَّعَوَاتِ الْكَبِيرِ».
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "When the month of Rajab began, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would say: ‘O Allah, bless us in Rajab and Sha’ban, and let us reach Ramadan.’ He also said: ‘The night of Friday is radiant, and its day is bright.’" [Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Al-Da’awat al-Kabir]
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «الْيَوْمُ الْمَوْعُوْدُ : يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالْيَوْمُ الْمَشْهُودُ: يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ، وَالشَّاهِدُ : يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ ، وَمَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَلَا غَرَبَتْ عَلَى يَوْمٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ، فِيهِ سَاعَةُ لَا يُوافِقُهَا عَبْدُ مُؤْمِنٌ يَدْعُو اللهَ بِخَيْرٍ إِلَّا اسْتَجَابَ اللهُ لَهُ، وَلَا يَسْتَعِيذُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَعَاذَهُ مِنْهُ». رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتَّرْمِذِيُّ.
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The promised day is the Day of Resurrection, the witnessed day is the Day of Arafah, and the witness is Friday. No day is better than Friday, for on it there is an hour when no believing servant asks Allah for good except that He grants it, nor seeks refuge from evil except that He protects him from it.’" [Narrated by Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi]
وَعَنْ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سَيِّدُ الْأَيَّامِ وَأَعْظَمُهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَهُمْ أَعْظَمُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى وَيَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ، فِيْهِ خَمْسُ خِلَالٍ: خَلَقَ اللهُ فِيْهِ آدَمَ، وَأَهْبَطَ اللهُ فِيْهِ آدَمَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، وَفِيهِ تَوَلَّى اللهُ آدَمَ، وَفِيْهِ سَاعَةُ لَا يَسْأَلُ اللهَ فِيهَا الْعَبْدُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ مَا لَمْ يَسْأَلْ حَرَامًا، وَفِيهِ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ. مَا مِنْ مَلَكٍ مُقَرَّبٍ وَلَا سَمَاءٍ وَلَا أَرْضٍ وَلَا رِيَاحٍ وَلَا جِبَالٍ وَلَا بَحْرٍ إِلَّا هُوَ مُشْفِقُ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ». رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَه . وَرَوَى أَحْمَدُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَادٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ، فَقَالَ: أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ مَاذَا فِيْهِ مِنْ خَيْرٍ؟ قَالَ: «فِيْهِ خَمْسُ خِلَالٍ وَسَاقَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ.
Abu Lubabah ibn Abd al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Friday is the master of days and the greatest in the sight of Allah. It is greater than the Day of Adha and the Day of Fitr. On it, five things occurred: Allah created Adam, sent him down to Earth, accepted his repentance, and there is an hour when no servant asks Allah for something except that He grants it (if it is not sinful), and the Hour will occur on Friday. No angel, sky, earth, wind, mountain, or sea but that it fears Friday.’" [Narrated by Ibn Majah]
Ahmad narrated from Sa’d ibn Mu’adh that a man from the Ansar came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked: ‘Tell us about Friday and its virtues.’ He mentioned the same five things.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ لَسَاعَةً لَا يُوافِقُهَا عَبْدُ مُسْلِمُ يَسْأَلُ اللهَ فِيْهَا خَيْرًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ». مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ وَزَادَ مُسْلِمٌ: قَالَ: وَهِيَ سَاعَةٌ خَفِيفَةٌ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لَهُمَا: قَالَ: إِنَّ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ لَسَاعَةً لَا يُوافِقُهَا مُسْلِمٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلَّيْ يَسْأَلُ اللهَ خَيْرًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ.
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘There is an hour on Friday when no Muslim servant asks Allah for good except that He grants it.’" [Agreed upon]
Muslim added: ‘It is a brief hour.’ In another narration: ‘It is when a Muslim is standing in prayer, asking Allah for good.’
وَعَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُوْلُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي شَأْنِ سَاعَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ: هِيَ مَا بَيْنَ أَنْ يَجْلِسُ الْإِمَامُ إِلَى أَنْ تُقْضَى الصَّلَاةُ». رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.
Abu Burdah ibn Abi Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "I heard my father say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say about the hour on Friday: ‘It is between when the Imam sits (on the pulpit) until the prayer is concluded.’" [Narrated by Muslim]
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الطُّوْرِ، فَلَقِيْتُ كَعْبَ الْأَحْبَارِ، فَجَلَسْتُ مَعَهُ، فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنِ التَّوْرَاةِ وَحَدَّثْتُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ، فَكَانَ فِيْمَا حَدَّثْتُهُ أَنْ قُلْتُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، فِيْهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ، وَفِيْهِ تِيْبَ عَلَيْهِ، وَفِيْهِ مَاتَ، وَفِيْهِ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ، وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ إِلَّا وَهِيَ مُصِيْحَةٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مِنْ حِيْنَ تُصْبِحُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ شَفَقًا مِنَ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا الْجِنُّ وَالْإِنْسُ، وَفِيْهِ سَاعَةً لَا يُصَادِقُهَا عَبْدُ مُسْلِمُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، يَسْأَلُ اللهَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ». قَالَ كَعْبُ: ذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَوْمُ. فَقُلْتُ: بَلْ فِي كُلِّ جُمْعَةٍ. فَقَرَأَ كَعْبُ التَّوْرَاةَ، فَقَالَ: صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ.
قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: لَقِيْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِمَجْلِسِيْ مَعَ كَعْبِ الْأَحْبَارِ وَمَا حَدَّثْتُهُ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: قَالَ كَعْبٌ: ذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَوْمُ. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: كَذَبَ كَعْبٌ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: ثُمَّ قَرَأَ كَعْبُ التَّوْرَاةَ، فَقَالَ: بَلْ هِيَ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: صَدَقَ كَعْبٌ. ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَيَّةَ سَاعَةٍ هِيَ. قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَقُلْتُ: أَخْبِرْنِي بِهَا، وَلَا تَضَنَّ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: هِيَ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ (رضي الله عنه): فَقُلْتُ: وَكَيْفَ تَكُوْنُ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ : لَا يُصَادِقُهَا عَبْدُ مُسْلِمٌ وَهُمْ يُصَلِّي فِيْهَا ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ: أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ جَلَسَ مَجْلِسًا يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ فَهُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يُصَلِّي»؟ قَالَ أَبُوْ هُرَيْرَةَ: فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى قَالَ: فَهُوْ ذَلِكَ. رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالتَّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ، وَرَوَى أَحْمَدُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: صَدَقَ كَعْبٌ».
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "I went to Mount Tur and met Ka’b al-Ahbar. We sat together, and he told me about the Torah, while I told him about the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Among what I told him was: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On it, Adam was created; on it, he was forgiven; on it, he died; and on it, the Hour will occur. No creature but that it is in fear of Friday from dawn until sunrise, except for jinn and humans. On it, there is an hour when no Muslim servant asks Allah for something while praying except that He grants it.” Ka’b said: ‘That is one day every year.’ I said: ‘No, it is every Friday.’ Ka’b read the Torah and said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spoke the truth.’"
Abu Hurairah said: ‘I met Abdullah ibn Salam and told him about my meeting with Ka’b and what I had said about Friday. I told him: Ka’b said it is one day every year. Abdullah ibn Salam said: Ka’b lied. I said: Then Ka’b read the Torah and said: It is every Friday. Abdullah ibn Salam said: Ka’b spoke the truth. Then he said: I know which hour it is. I said: Tell me, and do not withhold it. He said: It is the last hour of Friday. I said: How can it be the last hour when the Prophet (ﷺ) said it is when a Muslim is praying? He said: Did the Prophet (ﷺ) not say: “Whoever sits waiting for the prayer is in prayer until he prays”? I said: Yes. He said: That is it.’" [Narrated by Malik, Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhi, and Al-Nasa’I while Ahmad narrated up to: ‘Ka’b spoke the truth]
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : الْتَمِسُوا السَّاعَةَ الَّتِي تُرْجَى فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى غَيْبُوْبَةِ الشَّمْسِ». رَوَاهُ التَّرْمِذِيُّ.
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Seek the hour (of acceptance) on Friday after Asr until sunset.’" [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi]
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ : لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ سُمِّيَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ قَالَ: «لِأَنَّ فِيْهَا طُبِعَتْ طِينَةُ أَبِيكَ آدَمَ، [وَ] فِيهَا الصَّعْقَةُ وَالْبَعْثَةُ، وَفِيهَا الْبَطْشَةُ، وَفِي آخِرِ ثَلَاثِ سَاعَاتٍ مِنْهَا سَاعَةً مَنْ دَعَا اللهَ فِيهَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ». رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ.
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked: ‘Why is it called Friday?’ He replied: ‘Because on it, the clay of your father Adam was shaped, and on it, the Trumpet will be blown, the Resurrection will occur, and the Punishment will take place. In its last three hours, there is an hour when whoever asks Allah for something, He grants it.’" [Narrated by Ahmad]
وَعَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: "إِنَّ مِنَ افْضَلِ أَيَّامِكُمْ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، فِيْهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ، وَفِيْهِ قُبِضَ، وَفِيْهِ النَّفْخَةُ، وَفِيهِ الصَّعْقَةُ، فَأَكْثِرُوْا عَلَيَّ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فِيْهِ؛ فَإِنَّ صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعْرُوْضَةً عَلَيَّ». قَالُوا : يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ تُعْرَضُ صَلَاتُنَا عَلَيْكَ، وَقَدْ أَرِمْتَ؟ قَالَ: يَقُوْلُوْنَ: بَلِيْتَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَجْسَادَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ». رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَه وَالدَّارِمِيُّ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي الدَّعَوَاتِ الْكَبِيْرِ».
Aws ibn Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The best of your days is Friday. On it, Adam was created; on it, he died; on it, the Trumpet will be blown; and on it, the Punishment will occur. So increase your prayers upon me on this day, for your prayers are presented to me.’ They asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how are our prayers presented to you when you have turned to dust?’ He replied: ‘Allah has forbidden the earth from consuming the bodies of the Prophets.’" [Narrated by Abu Dawud, Al-Nasa’i, Ibn Majah, Al-Darimi, and Al-Bayhaqi in Al-Da’awat al-Kabir]
وَعَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ: «أَكْثِرُوا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ مَشْهُودٌ، يَشْهَدُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَإِنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ صَلَاتُهُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْهَا»، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَبَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ أَجْسَادَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، فَنَبِيُّ اللهِ حَيُّ يُرْزَقُ». رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَه.
Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Increase your prayers upon me on Friday, for it is witnessed by the angels. No one sends prayers upon me except that his prayers are presented to me until he finishes.’ I asked: ‘Even after death?’ He replied: ‘Allah has forbidden the earth from consuming the bodies of the Prophets, so the Prophet of Allah is alive and provided for.’" [Narrated by Ibn Majah]
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْن عَمْرٍو (رضي الله عنه) قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوْتُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَوْ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا وَقَاهُ اللهُ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ». رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتَّرْمِذِيُّ.
