Hadith 1369

أَخْبَرَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَعَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ، قَالَا : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَضَلَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنِ الْجُمُعَةِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَنَا فَكَانَ لِلْيَهُودِ يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ , وَكَانَ لِلنَّصَارَى يَوْمُ الْأَحَدِ , فَجَاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِنَا فَهَدَانَا لِيَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَجَعَلَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَالسَّبْتَ وَالْأَحَدَ , وَكَذَلِكَ هُمْ لَنَا تَبَعٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ , وَنَحْنُ الْآخِرُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْأَوَّلُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْمَقْضِيُّ لَهُمْ قَبْلَ الْخَلَائِقِ " .
´It was narrated that Hudhaifah said:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Allah sent astray from Friday those who came before us, so the Jews had Saturday and the Christians had Sunday. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, brought us and guided us to Friday, so there is Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and thus they will follow us on the Day of Resurrection. We are the last of the people of this world but the first on the Day of Resurrection for whom judgment will be passed before all other creatures.'"

Explanation & Benefits
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.
