It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a grave in which the deceased had just been buried. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two light rak‘ahs, which you consider insignificant and extra, if the occupant of this grave could add them to his deeds, they would be more beloved to him than the remainder of your world."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) returned from Khaybar and with him were two slaves. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: O Messenger of Allah! Give us one of the slaves. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Take whichever one you wish." He said: You choose for me. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Take this one, but do not kill him, for I saw him performing prayer on the way back from Khaybar, and I have been forbidden to kill those who pray." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave the other slave to Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) and instructed him to treat him with goodness and kindness. Then one day he asked: "Abu Dharr! What happened to the slave I gave you?" He replied: You instructed me to treat him with goodness and kindness, so I set him free.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty will raise (the seven) days of the week on the Day of Resurrection in their (distinct) forms. The day of Friday will be beautiful and radiant. The people of Friday (i.e., those who observed Friday) will surround it just as bridesmaids surround the bride when she is being sent off to the groom. The day of Friday will shine for its people, and they will be walking in its light. Their color will be white like snow, their fragrance will be like musk, and they will be immersed in mountains of camphor perfume. The jinn and mankind will be watching them, and due to amazement, they will not be able to lower their gaze until they enter Paradise. And except for the callers to prayer (mu'adhdhins) who called with the hope of reward, no one else will be able to reach their rank and status."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One Friday becomes an expiation for the sins committed between it and the next Friday, as long as major sins are not committed."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The five prayers and Friday (prayer) to the next Friday are an expiation for all the sins committed in between them, as long as major sins are not committed, and (Friday) also becomes an expiation for the sins committed in the next three days."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The five prayers, and from one Friday to the next Friday, and from one Ramadan to the next Ramadan, are expiation for all the sins committed in between them, so long as major sins are avoided."

Hakam bin Mina says that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated to him that they heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying from the planks of his pulpit: "Either the people must certainly stop neglecting the Friday prayers, or Allah will surely set a seal upon their hearts, (as a result of which) they will certainly become heedless."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not single out the night of Friday for standing (in prayer), nor single out its day for fasting, unless a man is in the habit of fasting (and Friday happens to be his day to fast), then he may fast."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If anyone feels drowsy in the mosque on the day of Jumu'ah, he should change his place."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was delivering the sermon on Friday, when a man (and according to another narration, Sayyiduna Uthman [may Allah be pleased with him] ) entered the mosque. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Why do you people delay in matters of prayer? He replied: As soon as I heard the call to prayer, I performed ablution and came. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Have you not heard this hadith of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any one of you comes (to the mosque) for Friday (prayer), he should perform ghusl (ritual bath)."
