Nasai

950. Commentary:

➊ This hadith clearly and explicitly indicates that women may attend the mosque and perform the congregational prayer. Many female Companions (radi Allahu anhunna) of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to do this regularly.

➋ The verses of this surah are short and its content is very impactful. The melody of the words further enhances the effectiveness of the meanings. The mention of the Day of Judgment and similar topics increases the emotional intensity. For these reasons, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would often recite this surah.

Recitation of Surah Qaf in Every Friday Sermon
The recitation of Surah Qaf in every Friday sermon is established from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). See: [صحيح مسلم 873، ترقيم دارالسلام: 2014]
Imam Nawawi said: «و فيه استحباب قراءة قٓ أو بعضها فى كلّ خطبة» And in this (hadith) is evidence that the recitation of Surah Qaf or some part of Surah Qaf in every sermon is recommended (mustahabb). [شرح صحيح مسلم للنووي 6/161 تحت ح 873]
Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu) preferred the recitation of Surah Aal Imran in the Friday sermon. [مصنف ابن ابي شيبه 2/ 115 ح 5203 وسنده حسن]
Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu) recited Surah An-Nahl in the Friday sermon on the day of Jumu'ah and later explained to the people that if someone does not perform the prostration of recitation (sajdat at-tilawah), there is no sin upon him. See: [صحيح بخاري: 1077]
That is, the prostration of recitation (sajdat at-tilawah) is not obligatory (wajib).
It is thus known that reciting Surah Qaf in the Friday sermon is not obligatory (fard), necessary (wajib), or required, but rather it is a Sunnah.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Surah Qaf is an extremely comprehensive surah.
It contains highly effective admonition and reminder.
For this reason, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would make its subjects the topic of the Friday sermon (khutbah), and from time to time, he would deliver admonition and advice through its various verses. In this way, over the course of different Friday sermons, it was completed such that the women memorized it by listening to it little by little.
From this, it is understood that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would make the Qur’anic verses themselves the subject matter of the Friday sermon, and his khutbah would revolve around them.

1100. Commentary:
In the Friday sermon, admonition should be delivered using the verses of the Noble Qur'an. And making Surah Qaf the subject is Sunnah and emphasized, so that the listeners are reminded of the Day of Resurrection and the severity of its reckoning. And they should not remain heedless of the history and fate of the previous nations either.

Benefit:
In this hadith, the time for breaking the fast (iftar) has been specified, and that is at the setting of the sun. Waiting further or exercising additional caution after sunset is contrary to the Sunnah.

In another hadith, there is an emphasis on hastening to break the fast. It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah radi Allahu anhu that the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: «لا يزال الـديـن ظاهرا ما عجل الناس الفطر لأن اليهود والنصرى يؤخرون» The religion will remain dominant as long as people hasten to break the fast, because the Jews and Christians delay breaking their fast. (Its chain is hasan; Sunan Abi Dawud: 2353, Sunan Ibn Majah: 1698. Ibn Khuzaymah (2060) and Ibn Hibban (889) have declared it sahih, and Hakim (1/431) said it is according to the conditions of Muslim.)
