Question
Can you mention a Hadith on the virtue of performing Jumu’ah Salah?
Answer
Hereunder are some Hadiths explaining the virtues of performing Jumu’ah Salah:
1) Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “The five daily Salah, and [offering] one Jumu’ah to the next, are an expiation for whatever sins are committed in between, as long as one does not commit any major sin.”
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 233)
2) Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever takes a bath (ghusl), then comes for the Jumu’ah Salah and offers whatever is decreed/fixed for him, then keeps silent until the khutbah terminates and then offers Salah with the [Imam], will be forgiven between that time and the next Friday and an additional three days.”
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 857)
See a detailed article here on the virtues of Friday as well as the Jumu’ah Salah.
