عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فِي حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، غُسْلَ الْجَنَابَةِ ثُمَّ رَاحَ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ بَدَنَةً وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ بَقَرَةً وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ كَبْشًا، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَقْرَنَ وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ دَجَاجَةً وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ بَيْضَةً فَإِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ أَقْبَلَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الذِّكْرَ))، وَفِي لَفْظٍ: فَإِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ طَوَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الصُّحُفَ وَدَخَلَتْ تَسْمَعُ الذِّكْرَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever performs a bath on Friday like the bath of major ritual impurity, then proceeds towards the mosque (and arrives in the first hour), it is as if he has offered a camel as a sacrifice. Whoever arrives in the second hour, it is as if he has offered a cow as a sacrifice. Whoever arrives in the third hour, it is as if he has offered a ram with horns as a sacrifice. Whoever arrives in the fourth hour, it is as if he has offered a chicken as a sacrifice. And whoever arrives in the fifth hour, it is as if he has offered an egg as a sacrifice. When the Imam comes out for the sermon, the angels also come forward and begin to listen to the remembrance. In another narration: When the Imam comes out for the sermon, the angels fold up their scrolls and enter the mosque to begin listening to the remembrance.
