Hadith 10271

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، قََالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْخَزْرَجُ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , قََالَ : دَخَلْتُ مَعَهُ الْمَسْجِدَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ، فَرَأَى غُلَامًا , فَقَالَ لَهُ : يَا غُلَامُ , اذْهَبْ الْعَبْ ، قََالَ : إِنَّمَا جِئْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، قََالَ : يَا غُلَامُ , اذْهَبْ الْعَبْ ، قََالَ : إِنَّمَا جِئْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، قََالَ : فَتَقْعُدُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ الْإِمَامُ ؟ قََالَ : نَعَمْ ، قََالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ، فَتَقْعُدُ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَيَكْتُبُونَ السَّابِقَ وَالثَّانِيَ وَالثَّالِثَ وَالنَّاسَ عَلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ ، حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ الْإِمَامُ ، فَإِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ طُوِيَتْ الصُّحُفُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: On the day of Friday, the angels stand at the doors of the mosque and record the ranks of the people: so-and-so came first, second, and third. Abu Ayyub says that once on the day of Friday, I entered the mosque with Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him). He saw a boy and said, "O boy! Go outside and play." He replied, "I have come to the mosque." This question and answer happened twice. Then Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "Sit until the Imam comes." He said, "Very well." Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Until the Imam comes out, after that the records are folded up."
