AL-Quran

1-

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا نُوۡدِىَ لِلصَّلٰوةِ مِنۡ يَّوۡمِ الۡجُمُعَةِ فَاسۡعَوۡا اِلٰى ذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِ وَذَرُوا الۡبَيۡعَ​ ؕ ذٰ لِكُمۡ خَيۡرٌ لَّـكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏

O you who believe, when the call for Salāh (prayer) is proclaimed on Friday, hasten for the remembrance of Allah, and leave off business. That is much better for you, if you but know.

وَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقْرَآنِهَا: “فَامْضُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ”. فَأَمَّا الْمَشْيُ السَّرِيعُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَقَدْ نُهِيَ عَنْهُ، لِمَا أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ،Umar bin Al-Khattab and Ibn Mas’ud – may Allah be pleased with them – recited it;(فَامْضُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ)(“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 ﷺ said,

إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ الْإِقَامَةَ فَامْشُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّكِينَةَ وَالْوَقَارَ وَلَا تُسْرِعُوا، فَمَا أَدْرَكْتُمْ فَصَلُّوا وَمَا فَاتَكُمْ فَأَتِمُّوا

(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 ﷺ he heard commotion. At the end of the prayer, the Prophet ﷺ said;

مَا شَأْنُكُمْ

(What is the matter with you?) They said, ‘We hastened to the prayer.’ The Prophet ﷺ said,

فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا، إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَامْشُوا وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّكِينَةَ فَمَا أَدْرَكْتُمْ فَصَلُّوا وَمَا فَاتَكُمْ فَأَتِمُّوا

(Don’t 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.)”

قَالَ الْحَسَنُ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ بِالسَّعْيِ عَلَى الْأَقْدَامِ، وَلَقَدْ نُهُوا أَنْ يَأْتُوا الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ وَالْوَقَارُ، وَلَكِنْ بِالْقُلُوبِ وَالنِّيَّةِ وَالْخُشُوعِ.
وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ فِي قَوْلِهِ: ﴿فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ﴾ يَعْنِي: أَنْ تَسْعَى بِقَلْبِكَ وَعَمَلِكَ، وَهُوَ الْمَشْيُ إِلَيْهَا، وَكَانَ يتأولُ قَوْلَهُ تَعَالَى: ﴿فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ﴾ [الصَّافَّاتِ: ١٠٢] أَيِ: الْمَشْيَ مَعَهُAl-Hasan said, “By God, it is not a matter of striving on one’s feet,” and they were forbidden to come to prayer except with tranquility and dignity, but with hearts and intention. And humility.
Qatada said in his saying: “Strive to the remembrance of God” meaning: to strive with your heart and deeds, which is to walk towards it, and he interpreted his saying as To: “And when he had reached the end of the journey with him” [Al-Saffat: 102], meaning: walking with him.

Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said,إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ

(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 ﷺ said,

غُسْلُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاجِبٌ عَلىٰ كُلِّ مُحْتَلِمٍ

(Ghusl on the day of Jumu’ah is Wajib (required) from every Muhtalim.)

Abu Hurayrah narrated that Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said,

حَقٌّ لله عَلىٰ كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ فِي كُلِّ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ وَجَسَدَهُ

(It is Allah’s right on every Muslim to bathe during every seven days, by washing his head and body.) Muslim collected this Hadith. Jabir narrated that Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said,

  عَلىٰ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ فِي كُلِّ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ غُسْلُ يَوْمٍ وَهُوَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ

(Within every seven days, every Muslim man has the obligation to perform Ghusl at least one day, the day of Jumu’ah.) Ahmad, An-Nasa’i and Ibn Hibban collected this Hadith.

Virtues of Jumu’ah

Imam Ahmad recorded that ‘Aws bin ‘Aws Ath-Thaqafi said that he heard Allah’s Messenger ﷺ say,

مَنْ غَسَّلَ وَاغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَبَكَّرَ وَابْتَكَرَ وَمَشَى وَلَمْ يَرْكَبْ، وَدَنَا مِنَ الْإِمَامِ وَاسْتَمَعَ وَلَمْ يَلْغُ،

كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ أَجْرُ سَنَةٍ صِيَامُهَا وَقِيَامُهَا

(Whoever performs Ghusl (well) on the day of Jumu’ah, leaves early, walking not riding, and sits close to the Imam and listens without talking, will earn the reward of fasting and performing standing (in prayer) for an entire year for every step he takes.)

This Hadith has various chains of narration, the compilers of the Four Sunan collected it, and At-Tirmidhi graded it Hasan. The Two Sahihs also recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ غُسْلَ الْجَنَابَةِ ثُمَّ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الْأُولَى فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ بَدَنَةً، وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ بَقَرَةً، وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ كَبْشًا أَقْرَنَ، وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ دَجَاجَةً، وَمَنْ رَاحَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَّبَ بَيْضَةً، فَإِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ حَضَرَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الذِّكْرَ

(Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath for sexual impurity and then goes for the prayer in the first hour, it is as if he had sacrificed a camel. Whoever goes in the second hour, it is as if he had sacrificed a cow. Whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram. If one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen. Whoever goes in the fifth hour, then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam appears, the angels present themselves to listen to Allah’s remembrance.)

فَاِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلٰوةُ فَانْتَشِرُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَابۡتَغُوۡا مِنۡ فَضۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَاذۡكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِيۡرًا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُوۡنَ‏ ١٠

Then once the Salāh is over, disperse in the land, and seek the grace of Allah, and remember Allah abundantly, so that you may be successful.

كَمَا كَانَ عرَاك بْنُ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا صَلَّى الْجُمُعَةَ انْصَرَفَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أجبتُ دعوتَك، وصليتُ فريضتك، وانتشرت كما أمرتني، فَارْزُقْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ. رَوَاهُ ابْنُ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that when the Friday prayer finished, ‘Irak bin Malik would stand by the gate of the Masjid and invoke Allah, saying, “O Allah! I have accepted and complied with Your Call, performed the prayer You ordered and dispersed as You ordered me. Therefore, grant me of Your favor and You are the best of those who grant provisions.” 

عَنْ بَعْضِ السَّلَفِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ بَاعَ وَاشْتَرَى فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ، بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَهُ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً،

some of the predecessors said: Whoever buys and sells on Friday after prayer, may God bless him seventy times.

 Allah’s statement,

 وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

(and remember Allah much, that you may be successful.) means, while you are buying and selling, giving and taking, remember Allah much and do not let this life busy you from what benefits you in the Hereafter. There is a Hadith that states,

مَنْ دَخَلَ سُوقًا مِنَ الْأَسْوَاقِ فَقَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ،

كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ وَمَحَا عَنْهُ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ سَيِّئَةٍ

(Whoever enters a marketplace and says, “La ilaha illallah, He is alone without partners, His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things.” Then Allah will record a thousand-thousand (a million) good deeds for him and will erase a thousand-thousand evil deeds.)

وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: لَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنَ الذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا، حَتَّى يَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ قَائِمًا وَقَاعِدًا وَمُضْطَجِعًا.

Mujahid said, “A servant (of Allah) will not be among those who remember Allah often, until he does so while standing, sitting and lying down.”

وَاِذَا رَاَوۡا تِجَارَةً اَوۡ لَهۡوَا۟ اۨنْفَضُّوۡۤا اِلَيۡهَا وَتَرَكُوۡكَ قَآٮِٕمًا​ ؕ قُلۡ مَا عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنَ اللَّهۡوِ وَمِنَ التِّجَارَةِ​ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَيۡرُ الرّٰزِقِيۡنَ

And when they see some merchandise or amusement, they break away to it, and leave you (O prophet,) standing. Say, “What is with Allah is much better than the amusement and the merchandise, and Allah is the best giver of sustenance.

Meaning of Jumma

قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ: “يَا سَلْمَانُ، مَا يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ “. قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: “يَوْمٌ جُمع فِيهِ أَبَوَاكَ -أَوْ أَبُوكُمْ”^(٤)

Abu Al-Qasim, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “O Salman, what is Friday?” I said Allah and His Messenger know best. Then the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “A day on which your fathers – or your father – were gathered together”

رواه الطبراني في المعجم الكبير (٦/٢٣٧) والحاكم في المستدرك (١/٢٧٧) من طريق جرير بن عبد الحميد، عن منصور، عن أبي معشر به، وقال الحاكم: “صحيح الإسنلد واحتج الشيخان بجميع رواية غير قرثع سمعت أبا علي القاري يقول: أردت أن أجمع مسانيد قرثع الضبي فإنه من زهاد التابعين فلم يسند تمام العشرة”

فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ﴾ أَيِ: اقْصِدُوا وَاعْمَدُوا^(١٠) وَاهْتَمُّوا فِي مَسيركم إِلَيْهَا، وَلَيْسَ الْمُرَادُ بالسعي هاهنا الْمَشْيُ السَّرِيعُ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الِاهْتِمَامُ بِهَا، كَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الآخِرَةَ وَسَعَى لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ﴾ [الْإِسْرَاءِ: ١٩]

إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ جُمُعَةً؛ لِأَنَّهَا مُشْتَقَّةٌ مِنَ الْجَمْعِ، فَإِنَّ أَهْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ يَجْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ فِي كُلِّ أُسْبُوعٍ مَرَّةً بِالْمَعَابِدِ الْكِبَارِ وَفِيهِ كَمُل جَمِيعُ الْخَلَائِقِ،Friday is called Al-Jumu’ah because it is derived from Al-Jam’, literally, gathering. The people of Islam gather weekly, on every Friday in the major places of worship. It was during Friday when Allah finished the creation ( ibn Kathir)

أَيْ تَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ.That is, it brings people together. (qurtabi)

وَعَنْ سَلْمَانَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: (إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتْ جُمُعَةً لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَمَعَ فِيهَا خَلْقَ آدَمَ).

On the authority of Salman, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (It was called Friday because Allah gathered the creation of Adam on it).

وَقِيلَ: لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَرَغَ فِيهَا مِنْ خَلْقِ كل شي فَاجْتَمَعَتْ فِيهَا الْمَخْلُوقَاتُ. وَقِيلَ: لِتَجْتَمِعَ الْجَمَاعَاتُ فِيهَا. وقيل: لاجتماع الناس فيها للصلاة. ومِنْ بِمَعْنَى فِي، أَيْ فِي يَوْمِ، كَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: أَرُونِي ماذا خَلَقُوا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ^(١) [فاطر: ٤٠] أَيْ فِي الْأَرْضِ.

And it was said: Because God Almighty finished creating everything therein, so all creatures gathered therein. It was said: for groups to gather there. It was said: Because people gather there to pray. And from the meaning of in, that is, on a day, as God Almighty says: Show me what they have created of the earth (1) [Fatir: 40] that is, on the earth. (Qurtabi)

Promise of sustenance for Servant to be

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْاِنْسَ اِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوْنِ  ( الذاريات: ٥٦ ) –1

I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me.

أَيْ: إِلَّا لِيُقِرُّوا بِعِبَادَتِي طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهً That is: except that they acknowledge my worship, willingly or unwillingly.

مَآ اُرِيْدُ مِنْهُمْ مِّنْ رِّزْقٍ وَّمَآ اُرِيْدُ اَنْ يُّطْعِمُوْنِ  

I do not want any sustenance from them, nor do I want them to feed Me.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِيْنُ   ( الذاريات: ٥٨ )

In fact, Allah is the All-Sustainer, Possessor of power, the Strong. (ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ) أَيِ الشَّدِيدُ الْقَوِيُّ

likewise

وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًۭا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ١٣٢

And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.

مَنْ أَصبَحَ وَ الدُّنْياَ أَکْبَرُ هَمِّهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللٌّهِ فِي شَيْءٍ

“He who rises in the morning such that his greatest concern is for (the issues of) the world, shall have nothing of (the guardianship) of Allah.”

Ibn Abbas reported: Dhul Majaz, Ukazha, and Matjar were markets people attended in the time of ignorance. When Islam came, the companions disliked trading in them until the verse was revealed, “There is no blame on you for seeking the bounty of your Lord,” (2:198) and this was during the Hajj season.

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَابَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِ‌زْقَهَا اللَّـهُ يَرْ‌زُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ

(And how many an animal there is that does not carry its provision. Allah gives provision 

۞ وَمَا مِنۡ دَآ بَّةٍ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ اِلَّا عَلَى اللّٰهِ رِزۡقُهَا وَ يَعۡلَمُ مُسۡتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسۡتَوۡدَعَهَا​ؕ كُلٌّ فِىۡ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ‏ ٦

There is no creature on earth whose sustenance is not undertaken by Allah. He knows its permanent and its temporary place. Everything is in a clear book.
