Hadith 1083
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ، وَعَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَضَلَّ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْجُمُعَةِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَنَا ، كَانَ لِلْيَهُودِ يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ ، وَالْأَحَدُ لِلنَّصَارَى ، فَهُمْ لَنَا تَبَعٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، نَحْنُ الْآخِرُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا ، وَالْأَوَّلُونَ الْمَقْضِيُّ لَهُمْ قَبْلَ الْخَلَائِقِ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Allah led those who came before us astray from Friday. Saturday was for the Jews and Sunday was for the Christians. And they will lag behind us until the Day of Resurrection. We are the last of the people of this world but we will be the first to be judged among all of creation.’”

Brief Explanation
1؎: The meaning of being led astray from Friday is that Allah, the Exalted, granted them the ability to choose Friday and other days, but they did not choose it and instead opted for another day.
2؎: This was a favor of Allah, the Exalted, upon the Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) that He placed them last in the world, and will place them first in the Hereafter. One reason for placing them last in the world is that this Ummah is a witness over the previous communities, as has been mentioned in the Qur’an. In any case, the virtue of Friday was not granted to the Jews and Christians; they erred in recognizing this day, whereas Allah, the Exalted, clearly explained this day to the Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and specified Friday. The reason for this specification is that Allah, the Exalted, created mankind on this day, that is, Adam (alayhis salam) was created on this day. Therefore, it became obligatory upon every human being to express gratitude to his Master on this day, and the Day of Resurrection will also occur on this day. Thus, both the beginning and the end are on this day.

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Among the seven days of the week, Friday is the most virtuous day.
➋ The Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is superior to other communities. One manifestation of its excellence is that on the Day of Resurrection, the reckoning of the Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) will take place first. In this way, the righteous of this Ummah will enter Paradise before the righteous of other communities.
➌ The virtue of this day demands that it be given due importance. In particular, one should prepare thoroughly and attend the mosque on time for the Friday prayer (Salat al-Jumu‘ah).
➍ Some manifestations of the virtue of this day will be mentioned in the next chapter.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1369. Commentary: "Kept away" — Allah, the Exalted, did not forcibly keep them away; rather, He did not grant them the ability (tawfiq) to make this decision... And granting tawfiq is Allah’s grace; it is not obligatory upon Him... This has been expressed as "keeping away," otherwise, they themselves, by their own choice, made a decision against Friday and in favor of Saturday or Sunday. It is Allah’s mercy upon us that He granted us the ability (tawfiq) to make the correct decision. And all praise is due to Allah for that.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Ahaala:
To run away; to flee.
(2)
Duraat:
Passing wind; to expel air from the anus with a loud sound.
Benefits and Issues:
Since the adhan is the summary and essence of the true religion (din al-haqq), the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) referred to it as an invitation (a complete invitation). And since Satan has hatred and enmity towards the true religion, hearing it is a cause of discomfort for him. Therefore, he cannot tolerate listening to either the takbir or the adhan, and hearing them causes him extreme distress and agitation. In this state of distress, he flees and goes far away.
