Narrated Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) The people used to come from their abodes and from Al-`Awali (i.e. outskirts of Medina up to a distance of four miles or more from Medina). They used to pass through dust and used to be drenched with sweat and covered with dust; so sweat used to trickle from them. One of them came to Allah's Apostle who was in my house. The Prophet said to him, "I wish that you keep yourself clean on this day of yours (i.e. take a bath)."

And it is narrated in the same manner from ‘Umar, ‘Ali, Nu‘man bin Bashir, and ‘Amr bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with them all).

Narrated Yahya bin Sa`id: I asked `Amra about taking a bath on Fridays. She replied, " Aisha said, 'The people used to work (for their livelihood) and whenever they went for the Jumua prayer, they used to go to the mosque in the same shape as they had been in work. So they were asked to take a bath on Friday.' "

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet used to offer the Jumua prayer immediately after midday.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: We used to offer the Jumua prayer early and then have an afternoon nap.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet used to offer the prayer earlier if it was very cold; and if it was very hot he used to delay the prayer, i.e. the Jumua prayer.

And Allah the Exalted said (in Surah Al-Jumu'ah) «فاسعوا إلى ذكر الله‏» : "Hasten to the remembrance of Allah." And its explanation is that whoever said that the meaning of «سعى» is to act and to walk, as is in Surah Bani Isra'il «سعى لها سعيها‏» , here «سعى» has the same meaning. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that buying and selling become forbidden as soon as the call to prayer for Jumu'ah is given. Ata said that all business transactions become forbidden at that time. Ibrahim bin Sa'd narrated from Zuhri that on the day of Jumu'ah, when the mu'adhdhin gives the adhan, even the traveler should participate.

Narrated Abu `Abs: I heard the Prophet saying, "Anyone whose feet are covered with dust in Allah's cause, shall be saved by Allah from the Hell-Fire."

Narrated Abu Huraira: heard Allah's Apostles (p.b.u.h) saying, "If the prayer is started do not run for it but just walk for it calmly and pray whatever you get, and complete whatever is missed. "

Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada on the authority of his father: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Do not stand up (for prayer) unless you see me, and observe calmness and solemnity".
