Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla
of Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman, from Abu Salih as-Sammani
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "If someone does
ghusl for major ritual impurity on the day of jumua and
then goes in the first part of the time, it is as if he
had offered up a camel. If he goes in the second part of
the time, it is as if he had offered up a cow. If he goes
in the third part of the time, it is as if he had offered
up a horned ram. If he goes in the fourth part of the
time, it is as if he had offered up a hen. If he goes in
the fifth part of the time, it is as if he had offered up
an egg. And when the imam comes out, the angels settle
down listening to the dhikr (remembrance of Allah)."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said
al-Maqburi that Abu Hurayra used to say, "Doing ghusl as
prescribed for major ritual impurity is incumbent (wajib)
on the day of jumua on every male who has reached
puberty."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that
Salim ibn Abdullah said, "One of the companions of the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, came into the mosque on the day of jumua and Umar
ibn al Khattab was already giving the khutba. Umar said,
'What (kind of) time is this (to arrive)?' He said, Amir
al-muminin, I returned from the market and heard the call
to prayer, so I did no more than do wudu.' Umar said, 'You
only did wudu as well? You know that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to
tell people to do ghusl.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Safwan ibn Sulaym
from Ata ibn Yasar from Abu Said al-Khudri that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Ghusl on the day of jumua is incumbent on
every male who has reached puberty."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Ibn Umar
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "When you come to jumua, do ghusl."
Malik said, "It is not enough for someone to do a ghusl
on the day of jumua and intend by it the ghusl for jumua
unless he does the ghusl and then sets off. That is
because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said in the hadith related by Ibn Umar,
'When you come to jumua, do ghusl .' "
Malik said, "If someone does ghusl on the day of jumua
and intends by it the ghusl of the day of jumua and then
sets out, whether early or late, and does something which
breaks his wudu, he only has to do wudu and his ghusl
remains valid for him."
Section: Paying Atlention when the Imam is Giving the
Khutba on the Day of Jumua
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from
al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Even saying to
your companion 'Listen' while the imam is giving the
khutba on the day of jumua, is to speak foolishly."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that
Thalaba ibn Abi Malik al Quradhi informed him that in the
time of Umar ibn al Khattab they used to pray on the day
of jumua until Umar came out, and when Umar came out and
sat on the mimbar and the muadhdhins called the adhan,
they would sit and talk, and then when the muadhdhins were
silent and Umar stood to give the khutba, they would pay
attention and no-one would speak .
Ibn Shihab said, "The imam coming out stops prayer and
his speaking stops conversation."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the
mawla of Umar ibn Ubaydullah, from Malik ibn Abi Amir that
Uthman ibn Affan used to say in khutbas, and he would
seldom omit it if he was giving the khutba, "When the imam
stands delivering the khutba on the day of jumua, listen
and pay attention, for there is the same portion for
someone who pays attention but cannot hear as for someone
who pays attention and hears. And when the iqama of the
prayer is called, straighten your rows and make your
shoulders adjacent to each other, because the
straightening of the rows is part of the completion of the
prayer." Then he would not say the takbir until some men
who had been entrusted with straightening the rows came
and told him that they were straight. Then he would say
the takbir.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar saw two men talking while the imam was giving the
khutba on the day of jumua and he threw pebbles at them to
tell them to be quiet.
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a
man sneezed on the day of jumua while the imam was giving
the khutba, and a man by his side asked Allah to bless
him. Said ibn al Musayyab was asked about it and he
forbade the man to do what he had done and said, "Don't do
it again."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he asked Ibn Shihab
about talking in the jumua after the imam had come down
from the mimbar but before he had said the takbir. Ibn
Shihab said, "There is no harm in that."
Section: Concerning Someone Who Catches a Raka of the
Jumua Prayer
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab used to
say, "Some one who catches a raka of the jumua prayer
should pray another one with it." Ibn Shihab said, "That
is the sunna."
Malik said, "I saw the people of knowledge in our city
doing that. That is because the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Whoever
catches a raka of the prayer has caught the prayer.' "
Malik said, concerning some one who was in a crowd on
the day of jumua and did the ruku but was not able to go
into sajda until the imam had risen or finished his
prayer, "If he is able to do the sajda and has already
done the ruku then he should do the sajda when the people
stand up. If he is unable to do thesajda until after the
imam has finished the prayer, then I prefer that he begins
the prayeragain and does the four rakas of dhuhr."
Malik said, "Someone who has a nosebleed on the day of
jumua while the imam is giving the khutba and he leaves
and does not come back until the imam has finished the
prayer, should pray four rakas.''
Malik said that someone who prayed a raka with the imam
on the day of jumua, then had a nosebleed and left and
came back and the imam had prayed both rakas, should
complete the prayer with another raka as long as he had
not spoken.
Malik said, "If some one has a nosebleed, or something
happens to him and he has no alternative but to leave, he
does not have to ask permission of the imam if he wants to
leave on the day of jumua."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn
Shihab about the word of Allah, the Majestic, the Mighty,
"O you who accept, when the call is made for the prayer on
the day of jumua, make haste to the remembrance of
Allah."(Sura 62 ayat 9). Ibn Shihab said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab
used to recite, 'When the call is made for the prayer on
the day of jumua, go to the remembrance of Allah.' "
Malik said, "Making haste in the Book of Allah is only
deed and action. Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, says 'and
when he turns away, he acts in the land' (Sura 2 ayat
205), and He, the Exalted, said, 'and as for the one who
comes to you acting with fear' (Sura 80 ayat 8), and He
said, 'then he turned his back, and acted' (Sura 79 ayat
22),and He said, 'Your deeds are diverse' " (Sura 92 ayat
4). Malik said, "Thus making haste which Allah mentions in
His Book is not running on the feet or exertion. It only
means deed and actions."
Section: The Imam's Stopping Off in a Town on the Day of
Jumua
Malik said, "If the imam stops off on a journey in a
town where jumua is obligatory and he gives a khutba and
takes the jumua prayer for them, then the people of the
town and any other people present do the jumua prayer with
him."
Malik said, "If the imam gathers people for prayer
while he is travelling in a town where the jumua prayer is
not obligatory, then there is no jumua for him, nor for
the people of the town, nor for anyone else who joins them
for the prayer in congregation, and the people of the town
and anyone else who is not travelling should complete the
prayer."
Malik added, "A traveller does not have to do jumua "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from
al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, mentioned the day of
jumua and said, "There is a time in it when Allah gives to
a muslim slave standing in prayer whatever he asks for,"
and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, indicated with his hand how small it was.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Abdullah
ibn al-Had from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi
from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf that Abu Hurayra
said, "I went out to at-Tur (Mount Sinai) and met Kab al
Ahbar and sat with him. He related to me things from the
Tawrah and I related to him things from the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Among the
things I related to him was that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The best
of days on which the sun rises is the day of jumua. In it
Adam was created, and in it he fell from the Garden. In it
he was forgiven, and in it he died. In it the Hour occurs,
and every moving thing listens from morning till sunset in
apprehension of the Hour except jinn and men. In it is a
time when Allah gives toa muslim slave standing in prayer
whatever he asks for.' Kab said, 'That is one day in every
year.' I said, 'No, in every jumua.' Then Kab recited the
Tawrah and said, 'The Messenger of Allah has spoken the
truth.' "
Abu Hurayra continued, "I met Basra ibn Abi Basra al-Ghiffari
and he said, 'Where have you come from?' I said, 'From at-Tur.'
He said, 'If I had seen you before you left, you would not
have gone. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say, "Only make a special journey
to three mosques: the mosque of the Haram (Makka), this
mosque (Madina), and the mosque of Ilya or the Bait al-Maqdis
(two names of Jerusalem)." ' " (He was not sure which
expression was used.)
Abu Hurayra continued, "Then I met Abdullah ibn Salam
and I told him that I had sat with Kabal-Ahbar, and I
mentioned what I had related to him about the day of jumua,
and told him that Kab had said, 'That is one day in every
year.' Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'Kab lied,' and I added, 'Kab
then recited the Tawrah and said, "No, it is in every
jumua.'' ' Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'Kab spoke the truth.
'Then Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'I know what time that is.'
"
Abu Hurayra continued, "I said to him, 'Let me know it
- don't keep it from me.' Abdullah ibn Salam said, 'It is
the last period of time in the dayof jumua.' "
Abu Hurayra continued, "I said, 'How can it be the last
period of time in the day of jumua, when the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "a
muslim slave standing in prayer", and that is a time when
there is no prayer?' Abdullah ibn Salam replied, 'Didn't
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, "Whoever sits waiting for the prayer is in
prayer until he prays?" "'
Abu Hurayra added, "I said, 'Of course.' He said, 'Then
it is that.' "
Section: Good Appearance and Not Stepping Over People
and Facing the Imam on the Day of Jumua
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that
he had heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "There is nothing wrong in
wearing two garments which are not work-clothes for jumua."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar would never go to jumua without wearing oil and
perfume except when it was forbidden (i.e. when he was
muhrim).
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah
ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm from whoever related it to him that
Abu Hurayra used to say, "It is better for a man to pray
on the surface of al Harra (a rocky area in Madina) than
for him to wait until the imam stands to give the khutba
and then come and step over people's necks."
Malik said, "The sunna with us is that the people face
the imam on the day of jumua when he intends to give the
khutba, whether they are near the qibla or elsewhere."
Section: The Recitation in the Jumua Prayer, the
Sitting, and Missing the Prayer Without a Reason
Yahya related to me from Malik from Damra ibn Said al-Mazini
from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud that ad-Dahhak
ibn Qays asked an-Numan ibn Bashir, "What did the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, use to recite on the day of jumua after
suratal-Jumua (Sura 62)?" He said, "He used to recite al-Ghashiya
(Sura 88)."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Safwan ibn Sulaym
said, "If anyone omits jumua three times without reason or
illness, Allah will set a seal on his heart." (Malik said,
"I don't know if it was from the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, or not.")
Yahya related to me from Malik from Jafar ibn Muhammad
from his father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, gave two khutbas on the day
of jumua and sat down between them.
