While ‘Umar (bin Al-Khattab) was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a man entered (the mosque).
‘Umar asked him, “What has detained you from the prayer?” The man said, “It was only that when I
heard the Adhan I performed ablution (for the prayer).” On that ‘Umar said, “Did you not hear the
Prophet saying: ‘Anyone of you going out for the Jumua prayer should take a bath’?”.

Narrated Salman-Al-Farsi:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can,
then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jumua
prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as
(Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins
in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven.”

Umar bin Al-Khattab saw a silken cloak (being sold) at the gate of the Mosque and said to Allah’s
Apostle, “I wish you would buy this to wear on Fridays and also on occasions of the arrivals of the
delegations.” Allah’s Apostle replied, “This will be worn by a person who will have no share (reward)
in the Hereafter.” Later on similar cloaks were given to Allah’s Apostle and he gave one of them to
‘Umar bin Al-Khattab. On that ‘Umar said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You have given me this cloak although
on the cloak of Atarid (a cloak merchant who was selling that silken cloak at the gate of the mosque)
you passed such and such a remark.” Allah’s Apostle replied, “I have not given you this to wear”. And
so ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab gave it to his pagan brother in Mecca to wear.
