Abu Ubaydah said: Sayyiduna Abdullah said: Hasten to the Friday prayers, for every Friday Allah Almighty will appear before the people of Paradise upon a dune of camphor, and they will be near to Him in proportion to how early they used to go to the Friday prayer. Allah Almighty will bestow upon them an honour the like of which they had never seen before. Then, when they return to their families, they will tell them what favours and honours Allah Almighty has bestowed upon them. The narrator said: Once Sayyiduna Abdullah entered the mosque on a Friday, and two men had already arrived before him. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Two men have come before (and I am the third); if Allah wills, He will place blessing in the third as well. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: A hadith narrated from him has also been recorded by Imam Ibn Majah; it is a marfu' narration and is shorter than this.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. The narrator named Abu Ubaydah did not hear from his father.
