MERITS OF ATTENDING THE FRIDAY PRAYER

1178

“Whosoever takes a complete shower; the same shower as after having intercourse, on a Friday and goes early to the mosque is as if he had sacrificed a camel for the sake of Allah.

Whosoever proceeds to the mosque later than him it is as if he had sacrificed a cow, and whosoever goes later than him it is as if he had sacrificed a chicken; and whosoever goes last it is as if he had sacrificed an egg.

When the Imam arrives the angels come to listen to his sermon.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
