Jabir reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying, “When a dead man is covered up in his grave he will be shown the setting sun and will sit up, rub his eyes, and say, ‘Let me observe the prayer’." Ibn Majah transmitted it.

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “Prayer in congregation on Friday is a duty laid on those who believe in Allah and the last day, except for an invalid, a traveller, a woman, a boy, an insane person, or a slave. If anyone neglects it through sport or trade, Allah will have nothing to do with him. Allah is the Independent and Praiseworthy One." Daraqutni transmitted it.

Salman reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “If any man bathes on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can with ablution, anoints himself with oil, or puts on a touch of perfume which he has in his house, then goes out and, without squeezing between two men, prays what is prescribed for him, then remains silent when the imam speaks, his sins between that time and the next Friday will be forgiven him.” Bukhari transmitted it.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “If anyone bathes, then comes to the Friday prayer and prays what is fixed for him, then keeps silent till [the imam] finishes his sermon, then prays along with him, his sins between that time and the next Friday will be forgiven him, and three days more.” Muslim transmitted it.

He reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “If anyone performs ablution, doing it well, then comes to the Friday prayer, listens and keeps silent, his sins between that time and the next Friday will be forgiven him, with three days extra; but he who touches pebbles has caused an interruption (lagha).”* * This refers to little stones which one removes while engaged in salat. While Bukhari, al-'amal fis salat, 8, gives a tradition which allows smoothing the ground once only, this tradition treats the matter as unsuitable. Regarding this tradition Lisan al-'Arab, 22

He reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “When Friday comes the angels stand at the door of the mosque recording the people in the order of their arrival. Those who go out in the midday heat1 are treated like him who offers a sacrificial animal, 2 next like one who offers a cow, next a sheep, next a hen, next an egg. Then when the imam comes out they fold up their sheets and listen to the mention of Allah." 1. The word muhajjir which is used here may mean either one who goes out in the midday heat, or one who goes early. 2. The word is badana, meaning either a she-camel or a cow which is sacrificed. Here it most probably means a she-camel, as other animals are mentioned immediately afterwards. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

He reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “When you tell your companion on Friday to be silent while the imam is preaching, you are guilty of idle talk." (Bukhari and Muslim.)

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “None of you must make his brother get up on Friday, then move to his place and sit in it, but should ask those present to make room." Muslim transmitted it.

Abu Sa'id and Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “If anyone bathes on a Friday, puts on his best clothes, applies a touch of perfume if he has any, then goes to the congregational prayer and takes care not to step over people, then prays what Allah has prescribed for him, then keeps silent from the time his imam comes out till he finishes his prayer, it will atone for his sins during the previous week." Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Aus b. Aus reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “If anyone washes and bathes on Friday, goes out early* walking, not riding, goes near to the imam and listens without interrupting, he will have the reward of a year’s fasting and praying for every step he takes." *The text has bakkara wa 'btakara. Both words mean the same thing and are presumably both used to emphasise the idea of going out early. Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and Ibn Majah transmitted it.

‘Abdallah b. Salam reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “Even if one has other garments he need wear nothing for Friday but the two garments he wears every day.” Ibn Majah transmitted it, and Malik transmitted it from Yahya b. Sa'id.
