Chapter 166: Women praying behind men - كتاب الأذان
Narrated Umm Salama:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ هِنْدَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا سَلَّمَ قَامَ النِّسَاءُ حِينَ يَقْضِي تَسْلِيمَهُ، وَهُوَ يَمْكُثُ فِي مَقَامِهِ يَسِيرًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ. قَالَتْ نُرَى ـ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ ـ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ لِكَىْ يَنْصَرِفَ النِّسَاءُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَهُنَّ الرِّجَالُ.
Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) completed the Salat with Taslim, the women used to get up immediately and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would remain at his place for sometime before getting up. The subnarrator (Az-Zuhri) said, "We think, and Allah knows better, that he did so, so that the women might leave before the men could catch up with them."

Chapter 1: The prescription of Friday [Salat-ul-Jumu'ah (Jumu'ah prayer)] and Khutba (religious talk) according to the Statement of Allah تعالى: "When the call is proclaimed for the Salat (prayer) of Friday (Jumu'ah prayer) come to the remembrance of Allah [Jumu'ah religious talk (Khutba) and Salat (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing)." (V.62:9) - كتاب الجمعة
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ هُرْمُزَ الأَعْرَجَ، مَوْلَى رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ
" نَحْنُ الآخِرُونَ السَّابِقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، بَيْدَ أَنَّهُمْ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا، ثُمَّ هَذَا يَوْمُهُمُ الَّذِي فُرِضَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَاخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ، فَهَدَانَا اللَّهُ، فَالنَّاسُ لَنَا فِيهِ تَبَعٌ، الْيَهُودُ غَدًا وَالنَّصَارَى بَعْدَ غَدٍ ".
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) saying, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the
foremost on the Day of Resurrection though the former nations were given the Holy Scriptures before
us. And this was their day (Friday) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them but they
differed about it. So Allah gave us the guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in
this respect: the Jews' (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and the Christians' (is) the day after
tomorrow (i.e. Sunday)."

Chapter 2: The superiority of taking a bath on friday - كتاب الجمعة
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، بَيْنَمَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الأَوَّلِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَادَاهُ عُمَرُ أَيَّةُ سَاعَةٍ هَذِهِ قَالَ إِنِّي شُغِلْتُ فَلَمْ أَنْقَلِبْ إِلَى أَهْلِي حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ التَّأْذِينَ، فَلَمْ أَزِدْ أَنْ تَوَضَّأْتُ. فَقَالَ وَالْوُضُوءُ أَيْضًا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْغُسْلِ.
While `Umar bin Al-Khattab was standing and delivering the sermon on a Friday, one of the
companions of the Prophet, who was one of the foremost Muhajirs (emigrants) came. `Umar said to
him, "What is the time now?" He replied, "I was busy and could not go back to my house till I heard
the Adhan. I did not perform more than the ablution." Thereupon `Umar said to him, "Did you
perform only the ablution although you know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) used to order us to take a
bath (on Fridays)?"
I testify that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every male
Muslim who has attained the age of puberty and (also) the cleaning of his teeth with Siwak, and the
using of perfume if it is available." `Amr (a sub-narrator) said, "I confirm that the taking of a bath is
compulsory, but as for the Siwak and the using of perfume, Allah knows better whether it is
obligatory or not, but according to the Hadith it is as above.")
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (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."

Chapter 5: Chapter - كتاب الجمعة
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِمَ تَحْتَبِسُونَ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ سَمِعْتُ النِّدَاءَ تَوَضَّأْتُ. فَقَالَ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" إِذَا رَاحَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ ".
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'?".
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."
I said to Ibn `Abbas, "The people are narrating that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Take a bath on Friday and wash
your heads (i.e. take a thorough bath) even though you were not Junub and use perfume'." On that Ibn
`Abbas replied, "I know about the bath, (i.e. it is essential) but I do not know about the perfume (i.e.
whether it is essential or not.)

Narrated Tawus:
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ قَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْغُسْلِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَيَمَسُّ طِيبًا أَوْ دُهْنًا إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ لاَ أَعْلَمُهُ.
Ibn `Abbas mentioned the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding the taking of a bath on Friday and then I
asked him whether the Prophet (p.b.u.h) had ordered perfume or (hair) oil to be used if they could be
found in one's house. He (Ibn `Abbas) replied that he did not know about it.

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَأَى حُلَّةَ سِيَرَاءَ عِنْدَ باب الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ هَذِهِ فَلَبِسْتَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا قَدِمُوا عَلَيْكَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ ". ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْهَا حُلَلٌ، فَأَعْطَى عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ مِنْهَا حُلَّةً فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِي حُلَّةِ عُطَارِدٍ مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنِّي لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا ". فَكَسَاهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَخًا لَهُ بِمَكَّةَ مُشْرِكًا.
`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 Messenger (ﷺ) 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 Messenger (ﷺ) and he gave one of them to
`Umar bin Al-Khattab. On that `Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! 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 Messenger (ﷺ) 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.

them to clean their teeth with Siwak for every prayer."

`Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr came holding a Siwak with which he was cleaning his teeth. Allah's
Apostle looked at him. I requested `Abdur-Rahman to give the Siwak to me and after he gave it to me
I divided it, chewed it and gave it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then he cleaned his teeth with it and (at that
time) he was resting against my chest.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ هُرْمُزَ ـ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْرَأُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ {الم * تَنْزِيلُ} السَّجْدَةَ وَ{هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ}
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite the following in the Fajr prayer of Friday, "Alif, Lam, Mim, Tanzil" (Suratas-
Sajda #32) and "Hal-ata-ala-l-Insani" (i.e. Surah-Ad-Dahr #76).
The first Jumua prayer which was offered after a Jumua prayer offered at the mosque of Allah's
Apostle took place in the mosque of the tribe of `Abdul Qais at Jawathi in Bahrain.

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "All of you are Guardians." Yunis said: Ruzaiq bin Hukaim wrote to
Ibn Shihab while I was with him at Wadi-al-Qura saying, "Shall I lead the Jumua prayer?" Ruzaiq was
working on the land (i.e. farming) and there was a group of Sudanese people and some others with
him; Ruzaiq was then the Governor of Aila. Ibn Shihab wrote (to Ruzaiq) ordering him to lead the
Jumua prayer and telling him that Salim told him that `Abdullah bin `Umar had said, "I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, 'All of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and the things under your
care. The Imam (i.e. ruler) is the guardian of his subjects and is responsible for them and a man is the
guardian of his family and is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband's house
and is responsible for it. A servant is the guardian of his master's belongings and is responsible for
them.' I thought that he also said, 'A man is the guardian of his father's property and is responsible for
it. All of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and the things under your care."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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."

رَوَاهُ أَبَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ حَقٌّ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ فِي كُلِّ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا ".
Narrated Abu Huraira through different narrators that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "It is Allah's right on every Muslim that he should take a bath
(at least) once in seven days."
One of the wives of `Umar (bin Al-Khattab) used to offer the Fajr and the `Isha' prayer in
congregation in the Mosque. She was asked why she had come out for the prayer as she knew that
`Umar disliked it, and he has great ghaira (self-respect). She replied, "What prevents him from
stopping me from this act?" The other replied, "The statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) : 'Do not
stop Allah's women-slaves from going to Allah's Mosques' prevents him."
