Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: By "Sa'y" (striving) is meant action and deed in the Book of Allah. Allah, Glorious and Exalted, says: «﴿وإِذَا تَوَلَّى سَعَى فِي الْأَرْضِ﴾» meaning, "When he turns away, he strives throughout the land to cause corruption." And Allah, Glorious and Exalted, says: «﴿وَأَمَّا مَنْ جَاءَكَ يَسْعَى وَهُوَ يَخْشَى﴾» meaning, "Who comes to you working and striving for his Lord." And Allah, Glorious and Exalted, says: «﴿ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَى﴾» "Then he turned away, striving to cause corruption." And Allah, Glorious and Exalted, says: «﴿إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّى﴾» "Your deeds are of different kinds."

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: By this "sa'y" is also meant action and deed, not walking with the feet, nor running, nor walking quickly.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If an imam arrives at a village where Jumu'ah is obligatory and the imam is a traveler, he delivers the sermon and performs Jumu'ah, then the villagers should also perform Jumu'ah with him.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If the imam leads the Friday prayer in a village where Friday prayer is not obligatory, then neither the imam's Friday prayer will be valid nor the Friday prayer of those who prayed with him, nor that of the villagers. Rather, those who are residents should complete their four rak'ahs.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Jumu'ah is not obligatory upon a traveler.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned Friday and then said: "There is an hour in it such that no Muslim servant encounters it while he is standing in prayer and asks Allah for something, except that Allah grants him that thing." And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, indicated with his hand that this hour is short.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I went to Mount Tur and met Ka'b al-Ahbar there, and I sat with him. Ka'b al-Ahbar related to me matters from the Torah, and I related to him matters from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Among the things I told him was that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best day upon which the sun rises is Friday. On this day Adam (peace be upon him) was created, on this day he was sent down from Paradise, on this day his sin was forgiven, and on this day the Hour will be established. There is no living being except that on Friday, until the sun rises, it listens in fear of the Hour, except for the jinn and mankind who remain heedless. And on Friday there is an hour in which no Muslim servant stands in prayer and asks Allah for something except that Allah, Glorified and Exalted, grants it to him." Ka'b al-Ahbar said: This occurs only once a year. I said: No! Rather, it is every Friday. So Ka'b read the Torah and then said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has spoken the truth.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then I met Basrah bin Abi Basrah Ghifari, and he said: Where are you coming from? I said: From Mount Tur. He said: If you had met me before going to Tur, you would not have gone. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Camels should not be saddled except for three mosques: Masjid al-Haram, my mosque (i.e., the Prophet's Mosque), and Masjid Ilya or Masjid Bayt al-Maqdis." (The narrator is in doubt.) Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then I met Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) and I related to him the conversation I had with Ka'b al-Ahbar about Friday, and I said that Ka'b al-Ahbar said that this day occurs only once a year. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ka'b has lied. Then I said: Ka'b read the Torah and said that indeed this blessing occurs every Friday. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ka'b has spoken the truth. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I know which hour it is. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Tell me and do not withhold. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is the last hour of Friday. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: How can it be the last hour? For the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No Muslim servant finds it while in prayer and asks Allah for something except that Allah, Glorified and Exalted, grants it to him." And this hour is such that prayer cannot be performed in it. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not say: "Whoever sits waiting for the prayer is in prayer until he prays"? Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes! Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That is the meaning.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Yahya bin Saeed Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "What harm is there for any of you if he keeps aside clothes, other than his everyday clothes, to wear for the Friday prayer?"

It is narrated from Nafi‘ that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) would not go for Jumu‘ah until he had applied oil and perfume, except when he was in the state of Ihram.

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said that if any of you prays "Zuhr Harrah," it is better for him than sitting in his house, and when the Imam stands to deliver the sermon, he comes on the day of Jumu'ah jumping over people's necks.
