Hadith 984

984 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَحِنُ الْآخِرُونَ وَنَحْنُ السَّابِقُونَ، بَيْدَ أَنَّهُمْ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا، وَأُوتِينَاهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ، فَهَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ، فَهَدَانَا اللَّهُ لَهُ، فَالنَّاسُ لَنَا فِيهِ تَبَعٌ الْيَهُودُ غَدًا وَالنَّصَارَي بَعْدَ غَدٍ»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We are the last (in this world) and the first (on the Day of Resurrection). This is because the Book was given to those people before us and the Book was given to us after them, and this (i.e., Friday) is the day about which they differed, so Allah guided us regarding this day, so in relation to this day, people follow us. The (special religious) day of the Jews is tomorrow (i.e., Saturday), and the special religious day of the Christians is the day after tomorrow (i.e., Sunday)."

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.

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.
