***FRIDAY REMINDERS*** Narrated Abu Huraira(R): The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) 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. Sahih al-Bukhari 929;(English) reference: Vol. 2, Book 13, Hadith 51; Sahih al-Bukhari 3211;(English) reference: Vol. 4, Book 54, Hadith 433; Sunan Abi Dawud 351;In-book reference: Book 1, Hadith 351) Abdullah (b. Umar) reported from his father that while he was addressing the people on Friday (sermon), a person, one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), entered (the mosque). Umar said to him loudly:What is this hour (for attending the prayer)? He said: I was busy today and I did not return to my house when I heard the call (to Friday prayer), and I did no more but performed ablution only. Upon this Umar said: just ablution! You know that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) commanded (us) to take a bath (on Friday). Sahih Muslim 845 a;(English) reference: Book 4, Hadith 1836
