اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ الْأَغَرِّ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ صَاحِبِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، قَعَدَتْ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَكَتَبُوا مَنْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، فَإِذَا رَاحَ الْإِمَامُ، طَوَتْ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الصُّحُفَ وَدَخَلَتْ تَسْتَمِعُ الذِّكْرَ" . قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "الْمُتَهَجِّرُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ كَالْمُهْدِي بَدَنَةً، ثُمَّ كَالْمُهْدِي بَقَرَةً، ثُمَّ كَالْمُهْدِي شَاةً، ثُمَّ كَالْمُهْدِي بَطَّةً، ثُمَّ كَالْمُهْدِي دَجَاجَةً، ثُمَّ كَالْمُهْدِي بَيْضَةً" ..
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When it is the day of Jumu'ah, the angels sit at the doors of the mosque and record the names of those who come for Jumu'ah. Then when the Imam comes (for the sermon), the angels close their registers and themselves enter to listen to the sermon." Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who comes first is like one who offers a camel as a sacrifice, then the one who comes after is like one who offers a cow as a sacrifice, then the one who comes after offers a goat as a sacrifice, then the one after that offers a duck as a sacrifice, then the one after that offers a chicken as a sacrifice, and then the one who comes after that is like one who offers an egg as a sacrifice."
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 1581 to 1583)
In this hadith, the reward for offering a duck as a sacrifice is mentioned, which is not found in the Sahihayn (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim). Furthermore, the mention of sacrificing a camel, cow, goat, duck, chicken, and egg means that the one who comes early for Jumu‘ah (Friday prayer) receives a reward equivalent to giving such charity, and this is a great virtue.
One should go to the mosque as early as possible for the Jumu‘ah prayer. We have seen wealthy individuals such as Shaykh Ibn Baz and Muhammad Sulaiman al-Yahya, who would leave their homes and head to the mosque at 10:30, at the time of the first adhan for Jumu‘ah (rahimahum Allah).
