And Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Ghusl is obligatory only upon the one for whom Jumu'ah is obligatory.

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Anyone of you coming for the Jumua prayer should take a bath."

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: Allah's Apostle said, "The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every Muslim who has attained the age of puberty."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said "We are the last (to come amongst the nations) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection. They were given the Holy Scripture before us and we were given the Quran after them. And this was the day (Friday) about which they differed and Allah gave us the guidance (for that). So tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) is the Jews' (day), and the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday) is the Christians'." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) remained silent (for a while) and then said, "It is obligatory for every Muslim that he should take a bath once in seven days, when he should wash his head and body."

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) remained silent (for a while) and then said, "It is obligatory for every Muslim that he should take a bath once in seven days, when he should wash his head and body."

Narrated Abu Huraira through different narrators that the Prophet said, "It is Allah's right on every Muslim that he should take a bath (at least) once in seven days."

Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Allow women to go to the Mosques at night."

Narrated Ibn `Umar: One of the wives of `Umar (bin Al-Khattab) used to offer the Fajr and the `Isha' prayer in congregation in the Mosque. She was asked why she had come out for the prayer as she knew that `Umar disliked it, and he has great ghaira (self-respect). She replied, "What prevents him from stopping me from this act?" The other replied, "The statement of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h): 'Do not stop Allah's women-slave from going to Allah s Mosques' prevents him."

Narrated Muhammad bin Seereen: On a rainy day Ibn `Abbas said to his Mu'adh-dhin, "After saying, 'Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah' (I testify that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle), do not say 'Haiya 'Alas-Salat' (come for the prayer) but say 'Pray in your houses'." (The man did so). But the people disliked it. Ibn `Abbas said, "It was done by one who was much better than I (i.e. the Prophet (p.b.u.h)). No doubt, the Jumua prayer is compulsory but I dislike to put you to task by bringing you out walking in mud and slush."

Because Allah, the Exalted, has said (in Surah al-Jumu'ah) «إذا نودي للصلاة من يوم الجمعة» : "When the call is proclaimed for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah (Friday), hasten to the remembrance of Allah." ‘Ata said: When you are in a town where Jumu'ah is being established, and the call to prayer is given on the day of Jumu'ah, then it is obligatory for you to come and perform the Jumu'ah prayer, whether you hear the call or not. And Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, used to live at a place called Zawiyah, six miles from Basrah. Sometimes he would perform Jumu'ah at his home there, and sometimes he would not perform Jumu'ah there (but would come to the congregational mosque of Basrah for Jumu'ah prayer).
