ADHABS AND VIRTUES OF JUMMA'H.

Allhamdulillah! We have been blessed with another Jummah! Below are some of the Adhabs that should be followed on the day of Jummah according to the Hadith.

Send Salawaat on Rasullullah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam )

1- Abu Umamah (Radiyallaahu anhu) narrates that Rasullullah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam ) said:
Send Salawaat on me excessively  every Friday, for the Salawaat of my Ummah are presented to me every Friday. He who invokes Salawaat excessively on me will be amongst the closest to me in rank on the Day of Resurrection. - (Baihaqi)



Hadhrat Ali Ibn Abu Taalib (Radiyallaahu anhu) narrated:
On the pulpit in the mosque of Kufah: When Friday comes, the devils go to the markets with their flags, and involve people in their needs and prevent them from the Friday prayer. The angels come early in the morning, sit at the door of the mosque, and record that so-and-so came at the first hour, and so-and-so came at the second hour until the imam comes out for preaching. When a man sits in a place where he can listen to the sermon and look at the imam, where he remains silent and does not interrupt, he will receive a double reward. If he stays away, sits in a place where he cannot listen to the sermon, silent, and does not interrupt, he will receive the reward only once. If he sits in a place where he can listen to the sermon and look at the imam, and he does not remain silent, he will have the burden of it. If anyone says to his companion sitting besides him to be silent while the imam is preaching, he is guilty of idle talk. Anyone who interrupts during the sermon will receive nothing no reward on that Friday. Then he the narrator says in the end of this tradition: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say so. (Abu Dawood 1046)

They write down the name of the person who enters the Masjid first, and thereafter the name of the person who follows, and they continue doing this. The person who entered first will receive the reward of sacrificing a camel in the path of Allah; the one who followed him will get the reward of sacrificing a cow, thereafter a chicken, thereafter the reward of giving an egg as charity in the path of Allah. Once the khutbah commences, the angels close the register and begin listening to the khutbah. “ -(Bukhari and Muslim)

Rasulallah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam )  said: “There is such an hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes dua in it, his dua will definitely be accepted.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

17 . Reciting Durood 80 times after Asr:
According to a Hadith recorded in Tabarani on the authority of Abdullah Ibn Abbas (Radiyallaahu anhu) :Abu Hurraira (Radiyallaahu anhu) reports that the Holy Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam ) said: “Whoever recites the following Durood eighty times immediately after Asr Salaat on Friday, before standing up from his place, Allah will forgive eighty years of sins and grant him the reward equivalent to eighty years of worship.”

18. Abu Hurraira narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam ) said:
The five daily prayers, and from one Jummah to the next, are an expiation for whatever sins come in between, so long as one does not commit any major sin. (Muslim, 233)

“Whoever does Ghusl on Friday like Ghusl for janaabah, then goes to the prayer (in the first hour, i.e., early), it is as if he sacrificed a camel. Whoever goes in the second hour, it is as if he sacrificed a cow; whoever goes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a horned ram; whoever goes in the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour it is as if he offered an egg. When the imam comes out, the angels come to listen to the khutbah.” (Bukhari, 814 and Muslim, 850)

21. If a person walks to Jummah prayer, for every step he will have the reward of fasting and praying qiyaam for one year.
