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.”

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.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said “We are the last (to come amongst the nations) but (will be) the foremost on
the Day of Resurrection. They were given the Holy Scripture before us and we were given the Quran
after them. And this was the day (Friday) about which they differed and Allah gave us the guidance
(for that). So tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) is the Jews’ (day), and the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday) is
the Christians’.” The Prophet (p.b.u.h) remained silent (for a while) and then said, “It is obligatory for
every Muslim that he should take a bath once in seven days, when he should wash his head and
body.”

I heard Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan (repeating the statements of the Adhan) while he was sitting on
the pulpit. When the Muadh-dhin pronounced the Adhan saying, “Allahu-Akbar, Allahu Akbar”,
Muawiya said: “Allah Akbar, Allahu Akbar.” And when the Muadh-dhin said, “Ash-hadu an la ilaha
illal-lah (I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)”, Muawiya said, “And (so do) I”.
When he said, “Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah” (I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s
Apostle), Muawiya said, “And (so do) I”. When the Adhan was finished, Muawiya said, “O people,
when the Muadh-dhin pronounced the Adhan I heard Allah’s Apostle on this very pulpit saying
what you have just heard me saying”.
