It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever washes (his head) on Friday and takes a bath, and draws near to the imam and listens attentively in silence, for him there will be, for every step, the reward of a year's fasting and night prayer." This narration does not make the established authentic hadith defective, for several reasons: first, that Hassan bin Atiyyah has explicitly mentioned Sayyiduna Aws bin Aws hearing from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); second, that Thawr bin Yazid is of a lower rank than those narrators in being used as evidence; and third, that Uthman al-Shaybani is unknown (majhul).
