THE FRIDAY PRAYER

837

“When a person takes a bath on Friday, cleanses himself and clothes, oils his hair, uses such perfume as is available and then sets off for the mosque, does not force himself between two people (sitting there), prays the obligatory prayer and listens when the imam speaks, the sins he committed since the previous Friday are forgiven.”

Bukhari with a chain up to Salman Farisi who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
