باب فَضْلِ التَّهْجِيرِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ:Chapter: Virtue of going early to Friday prayer
Hadith 1582
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "الْمُتَعَجِّلُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ كَالْمُهْدِي جَزُورًا، ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ كَالْمُهْدِي بَقَرَةً، ثُمَّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ كَالْمُهْدِي شَاةً، فَإِذَا جَلَسَ الْإِمَامُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، طُوِيَتْ الصُّحُفُ، وَجَلَسُوا يَسْتَمِعُونَ الذِّكْرَ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The example of the one who goes early for the Friday prayer is like that of one who offers a camel as a sacrifice, then the one who comes after him is like one who offers a cow as a sacrifice, and the one who comes after him is like one who offers a goat as a sacrifice. Then, when the Imam sits on the pulpit, the registers are closed and the (recording) angels also sit down to listen to the sermon.”
