Necessity of the Remembrance of Allah on Friday, by attending the Khutbah and the Prayer. Allah Taala commanded the believers to gather to worship Him on Friday, [O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for the Salah on Al-Jumu`ah (Friday), then hasten (Fas`aw) to the remembrance of Allah] meaning, go to it and head for it. The meaning of Sa`y (hasten) here does not refer to walking quickly. It only refers to the importance of it. `Umar bin Al-Khattab and Ibn Mas`ud - may Allah be pleased with them - recited it; (Then proceed to the remembrance of Allah.) As for walking in haste to the prayer, that was indeed prohibited, since it was recorded in the Two Sahihs from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet SAWS said, (When you hear the Iqamah, proceed to offer the prayer with calmness and solemnity and do not rush. And pray whatever you catch, and complete whatever you have missed.) This is the wording with Al-Bukhari. Abu Qatadah said, While we were praying behind the Messenger of Allah he heard commotion. At the end of the prayer, the Prophet SAWS said; (What is the matter with you) They said, `We hastened to the prayer. The Prophet SAWS said, (Dont do that. When you come for prayer, there should be tranquility upon you. Pray what remains of the prayer and complete what you have missed.) The Two Sahihs collected this Hadith. Al-Hasan commented, By Allah! Hastening to the prayer is not accomplished by the feet. Indeed they were prohibited from coming to prayer without tranquility and dignity. Rather it is about the hearts, the intention, and the submission. Qatadah said, (then hasten to the remembrance of Allah) means that you have to hasten to the prayer with your heart and actions, and walk to it. It is recommended for those coming to the Friday prayer to perform Ghusl (taking bath) before they come. It is collected in the Two Sahihs that `Abdullah bin `Umar said that Allahs Messenger SAWS said, (When one of you comes to the Friday prayer, then let him perform bath.) The Two Sahihs recorded that Abu Sa`id said that the Messenger of Allah SAWS said, Ghusl on the day of Jumu`ah is Wajib (required) from every Muhtalim. (Abu Hurayrah narrated that Allahs Messenger SAWS said, (It is Allahs right on every Muslim to bathe during every seven days, by washing his head and body.) Muslim collected this Hadith. Jabir narrated that Allahs Messenger SAWS said, (Within every seven days, every Muslim man has the obligation to perform Ghusl at least one day, the day of Jumu`ah.) Ahmad, An-Nasai and Ibn Hibban collected this Hadith.
