Hajj
of the poor
Sayyidunā 'Abdullāĥ Bin 'Abbās رَضِیَ اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُمَا has narrated that the
Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی
عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: 'اَلْجُمُعَةُ
حَجُّ الْمَسَاكِيْنِ' i.e. 'Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu'aĥ is the Hajj of
Masākīn (destitute).' In another narration, it is stated: 'اَلْجُمُعَةُ حَجُّ الْفُقَرَاءِ' i.e.
Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu'aĥ is the Hajj of Fuqarā (poor).'
(Jam'-ul-Jawāmī'
lis-Suyūṭī, vol. 4, pp. 84, Ḥadīš 11108-11109)
Proceeding
for Jumu'aĥ Ṣalāĥ early is equivalent to Hajj
The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
said, 'No doubt, there is one Hajj and one 'Umraĥ for you on every Friday.
Therefore, early proceeding for Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu'aĥ is (equivalent to) Hajj and
waiting for Ṣalāt-ul-'Aṣr having offered Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu'aĥ is (equivalent to)
'Umraĥ.'
(As-Sunan-ul-Kubrā,
vol. 3, pp. 342, Ḥadīš 5950)
Reward
of Hajj and 'Umraĥ
Ḥujjat-ul-Islam Sayyidunā Imām
Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Muhammad Ghazālī عَلَيْهِ
رَحْمَةُ اللّٰہِ الوالِی has said, '(Having offered
Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu'aĥ) one should remain in the Masjid till Ṣalāt-ul-'Aṣr and
staying in the Masjid till Ṣalāt-ul-Maghrib is even more preferable.
It is said that the one who offers
Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu'aĥ in the Jāmi' Masjid, stays afterwards and offers Ṣalāt-ul-'Aṣr
in the same Jāmi' Masjid, there is the reward of Hajj for him, and the one who
stays till Ṣalāt-ul-Maghrib and offers Ṣalāt-ul-Maghrib in the same Masjid,
there is the reward of Hajj and 'Umraĥ for him.'
(Iḥyā-ul-'Ulūm, vol.
1, pp. 249)
Here's the transcribed text from
each image:
Chief
of all days
The Noble Prophet ﷺ has said, 'Friday is chief of all days; it is most magnificent
[among all days] in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
It is superior to even Eid-ul-Aḍḥā and Eid-ul-Fiṭr in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. It has five particular features:
1. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
created Sayyidunā Ādam عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام
on this day.
(2) Sayyidunā Ādam عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام
descended upon the earth on this day. (3) Sayyidunā Ādam عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام passed away on the same day.
2. On Friday, there is one such moment
in which if someone prays for anything, he will be granted whatever he asked
for, provided he does not ask for anything Ḥarām. (5) The Judgement Day will
take place on Friday. There is no such distinguished angel, the sky, the earth,
wind, mountain and river that does not fear Friday.'
(Sunan Ibn Mājah, vol.
2, pp. 8, Ḥadīš 1084)
Fear
for the Judgement Day among animals
According to another narration, the
Greatest and Holiest Prophet ﷺ has said, 'There is
no animal that does not scream from dawn to sunrise every Friday out of fear of
the Day of Judgement, except man and jinn.'
(Muwaṭṭā Imām Mālik,
vol. 1, pp. 115, Ḥadīš 246)
Supplications
are fulfilled
The Holy Prophet ﷺ said, 'On Friday, there is one such moment which if a Muslim
gets and asks Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for anything in that
moment, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will definitely grant
him. That moment is very short.'
(Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, pp.
424, Ḥadīš 852)
Seek
between 'Aṣr and Maghrib
Saying
of the author of Baḥār-e-Sharī'at
Ṣadr-ush-Sharī'ah Maulānā Muhammad
Amjad 'Alī A'ẓamī عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُاللّٰهِالْقَوِي
has stated, 'There are two very strong statements concerning the instant in
which supplication is fulfilled (on Friday): (1) From the moment when the Imām
sits for the sermon to the end of the Ṣalāh. (2) The last instant of Friday.'
(Baḥār-e-Sharī'at,
vol. 1, pp. 754)
Which
is the moment of acceptance?
The renowned commentator of the Holy
Quran Ḥakīm-ul-Ummat Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān Na'īmī عَلَيْهِ
رَحْمَةُاللّٰهِ عَلَيْه has stated, 'At night there comes a moment
during which supplication is answered but Friday is the only day which has such
a moment during the daytime. However, it is not known for sure as to which
moment it actually is. The strong likelihood is that it is either between two
sermons or a short while before Maghrib.'
Commenting on another Ḥadīš, the
reverent Muftī has said that there are forty different opinions of scholars
regarding this moment, out of which two are the most likely; as per one
opinion, it is between two sermons while, according to the other, it is at the
time of sunset.
(Mirāt-ul-Manājīḥ,
vol. 2, pp. 319-320)
A
parable
Sayyidatunā Fāṭima-tuz-Zahrā رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا used to sit in her
Ḥujrah (small room) a short while prior to sunset and would ask Fiḍḍah رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْها, her maid, to stand
outside; as the sun begins to set, Fiḍḍah رَضِیَ
اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْها would inform her about it and Sayyidah رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْها would raise her
blessed hands for supplication.
(ibid, p. 320)
It is better to ask a concise
supplication at that moment; for instance the following Quranic supplication:
رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا فِى الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَّ
فِى الْاٰخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَّ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ﴿٢٠١﴾
O
our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and save us
from the torment of hell-fire.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān
(Translation of Quran)]
(Part 2, Sūrah Al-Baqarah, verse 201) (Mirāt-ul-Manājīḥ, vol. 2, pp. 325)
One can recite Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī as
well with the intention of supplication as Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī is itself a
magnificent supplication. It is preferable to supplicate between both sermons
by heart without raising hands and without uttering anything verbally.
14
Million & 400 thousands released from Hell every Friday
The Holy Prophet ﷺ said, 'There are 24 hours in day and night of Friday, there is
not a single such hour in which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
does not release six hundred thousand (such sinners) from Hell for whom Hell
had become due.'
(Musnad Abī Ya'lā,
vol. 3, pp. 291, 235 Ḥadīš 3421, 3471)
Security
from grave torment
The Beloved and Blessed Prophet ﷺ has said, 'The one who dies during the day
or night of Friday, he will be saved from the torment of the grave and will be
resurrected on the Day of Judgement with the seal of martyrs.'
(Ḥilyat-ul-Auliyā,
vol. 3, pp. 181, Ḥadīš 3629)
Sins
between two Fridays forgiven
Sayyidunā Salmān Fārsī رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْه has narrated that the
Holy Prophet ﷺ said, 'The one who
takes bath on Friday, attains the purity (sanctification) that was possible for
him, applies oil and lawful perfume available at home, heads (towards the
Masjid) to offer Ṣalāh, does not cause separation between two people, i.e. does
not sit between two people by intrusion, offers the Ṣalāh ordained for him and
stays silent during the Imām's sermon, his sins committed between this Friday
and the previous one will be forgiven.'
(Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, vol.
1, pp. 306, Ḥadīš 883)
