أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ بِالْجُمُعَةِ، وَهِيَ كَالْمِرْآةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِيهَا كَالنُّكْتَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ، مَا هَذِهِ ؟ قَالَ: هَذِهِ الْجُمُعَةُ، قُلْتُ: وَمَا الْجُمُعَةُ ؟ قَالَ: لَكُمْ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ، قُلْتُ: وَمَا لَنَا فِيهَا ؟ قَالَ: يَكُونُ عِيدًا لَكَ، وَلِقَوْمِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ، وَيَكُونُ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى تَبَعًا لَكَ، قُلْتُ: وَمَا لَنَا فِيهَا ؟ قَالَ: لَكُمْ فِيهَا سَاعَةٌ لَا يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ يَسْأَلُ اللهَ تَعَالَى فِيهَا شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ إِيَّاهُ - إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ فِيهَا قَسْمٌ - وَإِلَّا ادَّخَرَ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ مَا هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ - إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بِقَسْمٍ - أَوْ تَعَوَّذَ بِهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ مَكْتُوبٌ إِلَّا دَفَعَ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ مَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ، قُلْتُ: وَلِمَ ذَاكَ ؟ ! قَالَ: لِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى اتَّخَذَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَادِيًا مِنْ مِسْكٍ أَبْيَضَ، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ هَبَطَ مِنْ عِلِّيِّينَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، ثُمَّ حُفَّ الْكُرْسِيُّ بِمَنَابِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُكَلَّلَةٍ بِالْجَوْهَرِ، ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِالنَّبِيِّينَ فَيَجْلِسُونَ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ تُحَفُّ الْمَنَابِرُ بِكَرَاسِيَّ مِنْ نُورٍ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ بِالشُّهَدَاءِ حَتَّى يَجْلِسُوا عَلَيْهَا، وَيَنْزِلُ أَهْلُ الْغُرَفِ فَيَجْلِسُونَ عَلَى الْكَثِيبِ، ثُمَّ يَتَجَلَّى لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: سَلُونِي أُعْطِكُمْ، فَيَسْأَلُونَهُ الرِّضَا، فَيَقُولُ: رِضَائِي أُحِلُّكُمْ دَارِي، وَأُنِيلُكُمْ كَرَامَتِي، فَسَلُونِي أُعْطِكُمْ، فَيَسْأَلُونَهُ الرِّضَا، فَيُشْهِدُهُمْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ رَضِيَ عَنْهُمْ. قِيلَ: فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُمْ مَا لَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ، وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ أُذُنٌ، وَلَمْ يَخْطُرْ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ، قَالَ: وَذَلِكُمْ مِقْدَارُ انْصِرَافِكُمْ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ يَرْتَفِعُ مَعَهُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالصِّدِّيقُونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ، وَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُ الْغُرَفِ إِلَى غُرَفِهِمْ، وَهِيَ دُرَّةٌ بَيْضَاءُ، أَوْ دُرَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ، أَوْ زَبَرْجَدَةٌ خَضْرَاءُ مِنْهَا غُرَفُهَا وَأَبْوَابُهَا مُطَّرِدَةٌ أَنْهَارُهَا رَفِيعَةٌ ثِمَارُهَا مُتَدَلِّيَةٌ، لَيْسَ فِيهَا غَمٌّ، وَلَا هَمٌّ. قَالَ: فَلَيْسُوا عَلَى شَيْءٍ بِأَحْوَجَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ ; لِيَزْدَادُوا إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ نَظَرًا، وَيَزْدَادُوا مِنْهُ كَرَامَةً
✧ Gabriel ﷺ came to me with [the knowledge of] Friday, and it is like a white mirror in which there is something like a black spot. I said: 'O Gabriel, what is this?' He said: 'This is Friday.' I said: 'And what is Friday?' He said: 'You have in it good.' I said: 'And what do we have in it?' He said: 'It will be a festival ('id) for you and for your people after you, and the Jews and Christians will be subordinate to you.' I said: 'And what do we have in it?' He said: 'You have in it an hour in which no Muslim servant coincides with it asking Allah, Exalted is He, for anything of the affairs of this world or the Hereafter except that Allah will grant it to him—if he has a share [destined] in it; otherwise He will store for him with Himself what is better than it—if he has no share [destined]; or he seeks refuge in Him from an evil that is written for him except that He will avert from him a calamity greater than it.' I said: 'And why is that?' He said: 'Because your Lord, Blessed and Exalted, has taken in Paradise a valley of white musk. When the Day of Resurrection comes, He will descend from 'Illiyyun upon His Throne, then the Throne will be surrounded by pulpits of gold adorned with jewels, then the prophets will be brought and they will sit upon them, then the pulpits will be surrounded by chairs of light, then the martyrs will come until they sit upon them, and the people of the upper chambers (ahl al-ghuraf) will descend and sit upon the sandhill. Then their Lord will manifest Himself to them and will say: "Ask Me and I will give you." They will ask Him for His pleasure, and He will say: "My pleasure: I will make you dwell in My abode and grant you My honor, so ask Me and I will give you." They will ask Him for His pleasure, and He will bear witness to them that He is pleased with them. It was said: Then there will be opened for them what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has imagined. He said: And that is the extent of your departure from Friday [prayer]. He said: Then the prophets, the truthful, and the martyrs will ascend with Him, and the people of the upper chambers will return to their chambers, which are of white pearl, or red ruby, or green chrysolite. From them are their chambers and their doors, with rivers flowing through them, their fruits lofty and hanging down. There is no grief or worry in them. He said: Thus they are not in greater need of anything than the Day of Friday, in order to increase in looking at their Lord and to increase in honor from Him.'

وَنَحْنُ نَدْعُوهُ عِنْدَنَا يَوْمَ الْمَزِيدِ، قُلْتُ: مَا الْمَزِيدُ ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَادِيًا أَفْيَحَ، وَجَعَلَ فِيهِ كُثْبَانًا مِنَ الْمِسْكِ، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ نَزَلَ فِيهِ، وَقَالَ: اكْسُوا عِبَادِي، أَطْعِمُوا عِبَادِي، اسْقُوا عِبَادِي، طَيِّبُوا عِبَادِي، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: مَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ ؟ قَالُوا: نُرِيدُ رِضْوَانَكَ رَبَّنَا، فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ رَضِيتُ عَنْكُمْ، فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ، وَتَصْعَدُ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ إِلَى الْغُرَفِ مِنْ زَبَرْجَدَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، أَوْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ
✧ We call it 'the Day of Increase' (yawm al-mazid). I said: 'What is al-mazid?' He said: 'Allah, Exalted is He, has made in Paradise a wide valley and has placed in it sandhills of musk. When it is Friday, He descends into it and says: "Clothe My servants, feed My servants, give drink to My servants, perfume My servants." Then He says: "What do you desire?" They say: "We desire Your good pleasure, our Lord." He says: "I am pleased with you." Then they depart, and the houris with wide lovely eyes ascend to the chambers of green chrysolite or red ruby.'

الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ، وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ مَا اجْتُنِبَتِ الْكَبَائِرُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَإِنَّ الْجُمُعَةَ لَتُكَفِّرُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَزِيَادَةُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَإِنَّ فِيهَا سَاعَةً لَا يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ يَسْأَلُ اللهَ تَعَالَى فِيهَا خَيْرًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ، وَعُرِضَ عَلَيَّ الْأَيَّامُ، فَرَأَيْتُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهَا كَأَنَّهَا مِرْآةٌ بَهَاءً وَنُورًا، فَسَرَّنِي، ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ فِيهِ نُكْتَةً سَوْدَاءَ، فَسَأَلْتُ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ فَقَالَ: هِيَ السَّاعَةُ الَّتِي تَقُومُ فِيهَا الْقِيَامَةُ
✧ The five prayers, and Friday to Friday, are expiations for what is between them, as long as major sins are avoided. A man said, 'O Messenger of God, does Friday expiate until [the next] Friday?' He said, 'Yes, and an additional three days. And in it there is an hour in which no Muslim servant asks God, Exalted is He, for something good except that He grants it to him. The days were presented to me, and I saw Friday among them as if it were a mirror in splendor and light, and it pleased me. Then I saw in it a black spot, and I asked Gabriel ﷺ, and he said, "It is the hour in which the Resurrection will occur."'

إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ سَاعَةً، لَيْسَ فِيهَا سَاعَةٌ إِلَّا وَلِلَّهِ تَعَالَى فِيهَا سِتُّمِائَةِ عَتِيقٍ مِنَ النَّارِ،

إِنَّ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ لَسَاعَةً لَا يُوَافِقُهَا مُسْلِمٌ يَدْعُو بِخَيْرٍ إِلَّا اسْتُجِيبَ. فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَأَيَّةُ سَاعَةٍ هِيَ ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا تَدَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ لِلْغُرُوبِ، وَكَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَقُولُ لِغُلَامٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَرْبَدُ أَرْبِد: اصْعَدْ عَلَى الظِّرَابِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الشَّمْسَ تَدَلَّتْ لِلْغُرُوبِ فَأَخْبِرْنِي، فَيُخْبِرُهَا، وَكَانَتْ تَقُومُ إِلَى مَسْجِدِهَا فَلَا تَزَالُ تَدْعُو حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّيَ
✧ Indeed, in Friday there is an hour in which no Muslim who supplicates for good coincides with it except that it is answered. Fatimah said, 'O Messenger of God, which hour is it?' He said, 'When the sun begins to set.' Fatimah used to say to a servant called Arbad Arbid, 'Climb the hill, and when you see the sun beginning to set, inform me.' He would inform her, and she would go to her place of prayer and keep supplicating until the sun set, then she would pray.

✧ He was asked about the hour on Friday, and he said, 'God knows best. Indeed, God, Exalted is He, created Adam ﷺ on Friday after 'Asr. He created him from a handful He took from the entire surface of the earth. Do you not see that among his descendants are the red, the black, the evil, and the good? Then He made a covenant with him, but he forgot, and from that he is called insan (human). By God, the sun did not set on that day until he was sent down to the world.'

He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ descended from the pulpit and embraced it, and he did not stop until it became still. Then he returned to the pulpit, praised Allah Almighty and extolled Him, then said: 'This palm trunk only moaned out of longing for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he left it. By Allah, had I not descended to it and embraced it, it would not have become still until the Day of Resurrection.'
