Hadith 286
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُقْرِئِ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ عَلَى كُلِّ باب مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مَلائِكَةً يَكْتُبُونَ النَّاسَ الأَوَّلَ فَالأَوَّلَ ، فَإِذَا قَعَدَ الإِمَامُ طَوَوُا الصُّحُفَ وَاسْتَمَعُوا الْخُطْبَةَ ، فَالْمُهَجِّرُ كَالْمُهْدِي بَدَنَةً ، ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ كَالْمُهْدِي بَقَرَةً ، ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ كَالْمُهْدِي كَبْشًا ، حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الدَّجَاجَةَ وَالْبَيْضَةَ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (On the day of Jumu’ah) angels are present at all the doors of the mosque, who write down the names of those who come first in order. Then, when the Imam sits on the pulpit, they close their registers and begin to listen to the sermon. The one who comes first receives a reward equal to giving a camel in charity, the next receives a reward equal to giving a cow in charity, the next receives a reward equal to giving a ram in charity, until he (the Prophet) mentioned even a chicken and an egg (as charity).
