Narrated Aisha:
Once in the middle of the night Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) went out and prayed in the mosque and
some men prayed with him. The next morning the people spoke about it and so more people
gathered and prayed with him (in the second night). They circulated the news in the morning, and
so, on the third night the number of people increased greatly. Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) came out and
they prayed behind him. On the fourth night the mosque was overwhelmed by the people till it
could not accommodate them. Allah’s Apostle came out only for the Fajr prayer and when he fin –
ished the prayer, he faced the people and recited “Tashah-hud” (I testify that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle), and then said, “Amma ba’du. Verily your
presence (in the mosque at night) was not hidden from me, but I was afraid that this prayer (Prayer
of Tahajjud) might be made compulsory and you might not be able to carry it out.”

Narrated Abu Hummaid As-Sa’idi
One night Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) stood up after the prayer and recited “Tashah-hud” and then
praised Allah as He deserved and said, “Amma ba’du.”

“Amma ba’du.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 13: FRIDAY PRAYER
Once the Prophet ascended the pulpit and it was the last gathering in which he took part. He was
covering his shoulder with a big cloak and binding his head with an oily bandage. He glorified and
praised Allah and said, “O people! Come to me.” So the people came and gathered around him and he
then said, “Amma ba’du.” “From now onward the Ansar will decrease and other people will increase.
So anybody who becomes a ruler of the followers of Muhammad and has the power to harm or be –
nefit people then he should accept the good from the benevolent amongst them (Ansar) and overlook
the faults of their wrong-doers.”
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 50:
Narrated ‘Abdullah Ibn Umar:
The Prophet used to deliver two Khutbas and sit in between them
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 51:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “When it is a Friday, the angels stand at the gate of the mosque and keep on
writing the names of the persons coming to the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. The
example of the one who enters the mosque in the earliest hour is that of one offering a camel (in
sacrifice). The one coming next is like one offering a cow and then a ram and then a chicken and
then an egg respectively. When the Imam comes out (for Jumua prayer) they (i.e. angels) fold their
papers and listen to the Khutba.”
