friday prayer

[Naaima]

Salam alaikum

Narrated by -AbuHurayrah

Transmitted by - Sahih Bukhari


The Prophet (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wassallam) 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." [Vol 2:#51]

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah's cause); and whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts delivering the khutba), the angels present themselves to listen to the khutba." (BUKHARI Book #13, Hadith #6)


PREPARE YOURSELF

Narrated Salim: My father said , "I heard the Prophet delivering the khutba on the pulpit and he said, 'Whoever comes for the Jumua prayer should take a bath (before coming).' " (BUKHARI Book #13, Hadith #42)

Narrated Abu Huraira: 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'?". (BUKHARI Book #13, Hadith #7)

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: A person entered the mosque while the Prophet was delivering the khutba on a Friday. The Prophet said to him, "Have you prayed?" The man replied in the negative. The Prophet said, "Get up and pray two Rakat." (BUKHARI Book #13, Hadith #52)


SINS ARE FORGIVEN

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." (BUKHARI Book #13, Hadith #8)


In Sahih Muslim:Narrated Abu Huraira "The person who takes a bath then comes to the Jum`a prayer, then offers the prayer that was destined for him, and then keeps silent till the Imam finishes the sermon, and then prays along with him, his sins between that time and the next Friday would be forgiven, and even of three days more"(similar hadiths appear in Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, & Ahmad binHanbal)


TALKING DURING THE KHUTBAH

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, "If you told your friend to pay attention on Friday while the Imam is delivering the speech then you committed a sin of vain talk." Another authentic hadith which was reported by Imam Ibn-Majah and Attermizi that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, "Even who touches the gravel on the floor then he committed vain talk, and he who does commit that there will be no (Jummah) Friday for him."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "When the Imam is delivering the khutba, and you ask your companion to keep quiet and listen, then no doubt you have done an evil act." (BUKHARI Book #13, Hadith #56)

I don't understand both narratives in this part, especially the second one. Could someone explain to me what Prophet Muhammad css meant?

Basically dont engage in anything else during the khutba other than listening. Even if someone is talking to you or around you, do not even respond for verily that breaks your jummah.
I heard a Sheikh once say even if someone is doing something pretty distructive near you, ignore it. The only person who can talk during the khutba is the person delivering it, he only is allowed to pause, stop people etc.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: While we were praying (Jumua khutba & prayer) with the Prophet (p.b.u.h), some camels loaded with food, arrived (from Sham.~ The people diverted their attention towards the camels (and left the mosque), and only twelve persons remained with the Prophet. So this verse was revealed: "But when they see Some bargain or some amusement, They disperse headlong to it, And leave you standing." (62.11) (BUKHARI Book #13, Hadith #58)

SURAH AL-JUMUA - THE CONGREGATION,FRIDAY

9) O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business (and traffic): That is best for you if ye but knew!
10) And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah. and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper.
11) But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse headlong to it, and leave thee standing. Say: "The (blessing) from the Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! and Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs)."

Surah Jumua mentions the jews aswell.

Did you guys know that the 2 things the Jews envy of Muslims is thier Salams and the return of salaams to one another and the call to prayer particularly Jumua.
