Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah came to me and I performed ghusl (ritual bath) on Friday. He asked: Did you perform this ghusl for janabah (major ritual impurity)? I replied: Yes. He said: Perform ghusl again, because I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: "Whoever performs ghusl on Friday remains in a state of purity until the next Friday." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "He remains pure until the next Friday," means that he remains pure from sins, because whoever participates in the Friday prayer with its conditions, the sins committed between this Friday and the next Friday are forgiven.
