´Ubaidullah bin Abi Rafi the freed slave of Allah's Messenger said:` "Marwan left Abu Hurairah in charge of Al-Madinah and he went to Makkah. So Abu Hurairah led us in Salat in Friday, reciting Surah Al-Jumuah (in the first Rak'ah) and in the second prostration (Rak'ah): When the hypocrites come to you." Ubaidullah said: "So I caught up with Abu Hurairah and said to him: 'You recited two Surah that Ali recited in Al-Kufah. Abu Hurairah said: 'Indeed I heard Allah's Messenger reciting them.'"

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Reciting the two aforementioned surahs in the Friday (Jumu‘ah) prayer is Sunnah.
However, recitation of other surahs is also permissible, as will be mentioned in the next hadith.
➋
The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in) used to follow the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in every minor and major matter.
Therefore, the actions of Ali (radi Allahu anhu) and Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) were also based solely on following the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
