Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: People from the surrounding areas used to come from their homes for the Friday prayer. They would wear cloaks and arrive covered in dust and sweat, which caused their bodies to emit an odor. One of them came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while he was with me. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: If you purify yourselves well for this day of yours (i.e., perform ghusl), it would be appropriate.
