Hazrat Dahhak bin Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that we asked Sayyiduna Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him): "On the day of Jumu'ah, along with the Surah in which Jumu'ah is mentioned, which Surah would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recite?" He replied, "Along with that Surah, he would recite Surah Al-Ghashiyah «‏‏‏‏هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ» ‏‏‏‏."

Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite Surah Al-A'la «‏‏‏‏سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى» ‏‏‏‏ and Surah Al-Ghashiyah «‏‏‏‏هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ» ‏‏‏‏ in Jumu'ah. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "I have already written in the Book of the Two Eids about the ahadith regarding the occurrence of Eid and Jumu'ah on the same day and the recitation in them."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever catches one rak‘ah of the prayer has caught that prayer. In the narration of Janab Makhzumi, it is stated:“(Whoever) catches one rak‘ah of the prayer has caught (that prayer).”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه narrates from the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم that he said: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the prayer, he has caught that prayer." Imam Zuhri رحمه الله says that in our opinion, the Friday prayer is also included in this ruling, so when a person catches one rak'ah of it, he should join the second rak'ah with it.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه narrates from the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم that he صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the Friday prayer has caught the Friday prayer." Imam Abu Bakr رحمه الله says that this narration has been reported in terms of meaning and not with the exact words. The words of the hadith are: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the prayer." And Jumu'ah is also included among the prayers, as Imam Zuhri رحمه الله has said. Therefore, when the hadith is narrated in terms of meaning and the original words are left, then it is correct to narrate it in this way: that whoever catches one rak'ah of Jumu'ah, because Jumu'ah is also among the prayers. Therefore, when the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the prayer has caught the prayer," then all prayers are included in this ruling, both the Friday prayer and all other prayers. This hadith has also been narrated by Usamah bin Zaid Laithi from Ibn Shihab رحمه الله with similar words.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of Jumu'ah should complete it by adding another rak'ah to it." Janab Usamah says: I heard both the people of the gathering, Qasim bin Muhammad and Salim, saying that this has reached us.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that while the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing and delivering the sermon on Friday, a trade caravan arrived in Madinah. The companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rushed towards that caravan, and only twelve people remained with him. Among them were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). And this verse was revealed «‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة الجمعة: 11 ] "And when they see a trade or amusement, they rush towards it and leave you standing."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding those who stay behind from Jumu'ah: "Indeed, I intended to order a man to lead the people in prayer, then I would go and burn the houses of the men who stay behind from Jumu'ah."
