What is the source of this Hadith?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“The night of Jumu’ah is illuminated and its day is shining and beautiful”

 

Answer

Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) and others have recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) with a weak chain.

(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 1, pg. 259. Refer: Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 2, pg. 165)

However, the Hadith is corroborated and suitable to quote.

(Refer: Al Qawlul Badi, pg. 325)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
