It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The master of all days is Friday. On it Adam (peace be upon him) was created, on it he was admitted into Paradise, on it he was expelled from it, and the Hour will be established on none other than Friday." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, for he cited Abd al-Rahman bin Abi al-Zinad as a supporting narrator; but the two Shaykhs did not record the words "Sayyid al-ayyam" (the master of days).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will raise all the days in their original form, and He will raise Friday radiant and shining. Its people will surround it just as a bride is sent off to her honourable husband. It will give light for them, and they will walk in its light. Their complexions will be white like snow, and their fragrance will spread like musk. They will be wading through mountains of camphor. The jinn and humans will be watching them in amazement without blinking, until they enter Paradise. None will be mixed with them except the callers to prayer (mu'adhdhins) who called the adhan with a sincere intention." This is a shadh (anomalous) hadith but with a sahih (authentic) chain, because Abu Mu'ayd is among the trustworthy narrators of Syria whose hadith are collected, and al-Haytham bin Humayd is also among the eminent figures of Syria; but the two Shaykhs did not narrate from either of them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Salman! Do you know what Friday is?" I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Salman! Friday is the day on which your father - or the father of you all - (Adam, peace be upon him) was gathered. And I will tell you about the virtue of Friday: whoever purifies himself on Friday as he has been commanded, then goes out of his house and comes to the Friday prayer, and sits silently and listens attentively (to the sermon) until he completes his prayer, this deed becomes an expiation for him for the sins from the previous Friday until now." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain. The two Shaykhs used all of its narrators as evidence except Qartha'. I heard Abu Ali al-Qari say: I intended to collect all the musnad narrations of Qartha' al-Dabbi, because he was among the ascetic Tabi'in, but the total number of his narrations did not even reach ten.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aws bin Aws al-Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Among the best of your days is Friday. On it Adam (peace be upon him) was created, on it his soul was taken, on it the Trumpet will be blown, and on it will be the mighty blast (sa'qah). So send abundant blessings (salawat) upon me on that day, for your blessings are presented to me." The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! How will our blessings be presented to you when you (your bones) will have decayed? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden the earth from consuming the bodies of the Prophets." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On it Adam (peace be upon him) was created, on it he was sent down (to the earth), on it his repentance was accepted, on it he died, and on this day the Hour will be established. Every animal on Friday, from dawn until the sun rises, is listening attentively (in dread) out of fear of the Hour, except the jinn and humans. And on this day there is an hour such that any Muslim servant who finds it while he is praying and asking Allah for something, Allah will certainly grant it to him." Ka'b al-Ahbar said: That is on one day in the year. So I said: No, rather it is on every Friday. Then Ka'b read the Torah and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth. Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then I met Abdullah bin Salam and told him about my conversation with Ka'b. Abdullah bin Salam said: I know which hour it is. Abu Hurayrah said: I said to him: Tell me which hour it is. Abdullah bin Salam said: It is the last hour of Friday. I said: How can it be the last hour when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He finds it while he is praying," and no prayer is prayed at that time? Abdullah bin Salam said: 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"?! This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. The two of them agreed only on its opening words, which are narrated in the narration of al-A'raj from Abu Hurayrah: "The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday." And Muhammad bin Ishaq has corroborated Yazid bin al-Had (mutaba'ah), with further details mentioned in it:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I went to Mount Tur and met Ka'b al-Ahbar there. I narrated to him the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he narrated to me things from the Torah, and there was no disagreement between them until I mentioned Friday. I said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On every Friday there is an hour such that no believing servant finds it while in the state of prayer and asks Allah for something, except that Allah will certainly grant it to him." Ka'b said: That occurs only once in the whole year. I said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say that. Then he recited (the Torah) and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth; it is on every Friday. Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then I met Abdullah bin Salam and told him about my sitting with Ka'b. Then the narrator mentioned the whole narration like the hadith of Imam Malik.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Friday has twelve hours. Among them is an hour in which there is no Muslim servant who asks Allah for something except that Allah grants it to him. So seek it in the last hour of the day, after Asr." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, for he used al-Julah Abu Kathir as evidence; however, the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Abu Salamah said: I said (to myself): By Allah! If I were to go to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and ask him about this hour, perhaps he would have some knowledge of it. So I came to him and said: O Abu Sa'id! Abu Hurayrah has told us about that hour on Friday; do you have any knowledge of it? He said: We asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I was informed of that hour, then I was made to forget it, just as I was made to forget the Night of Qadr." Then I left him and went to Abdullah bin Salam. Then the narrator mentioned the whole hadith. This is an authentic supporting narration (shahid) for the hadith of Yazid bin al-Had and Muhammad bin Ishaq, on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Abu al-Ja'd al-Damri (may Allah be pleased with him) - who had the companionship of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) - that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever abandons three Friday prayers out of laziness and negligence, Allah Almighty seals his heart." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever abandons the Friday prayer without an excuse should give one dinar in charity, and if he cannot afford it, then half a dinar in charity." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but (the two Shaykhs) did not record it because of the disagreement of Sa'id bin Bashir and Ayyub bin al-Ala', for both of them narrated it as mursal through the chain of Qatadah from Qudamah bin Wabarah.
