Prayer Practices

"Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) saying, \"We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection though the former nations were given the Holy Scriptures before us. And this was their day (Friday) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them but they differed about it. So Allah gave us the guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in this respect: the Jews' (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and the Christians' (is) the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday).\" Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said \"We are the last (to come amongst the nations) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection. They were given the Holy Scripture before us and we were given the Quran after them. And this was the day (Friday) about which they differed and Allah gave us the guidance (for that). So tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) is the Jews' (day), and the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday) is the Christians'.\" The Prophet (p.b.u.h) remained silent (for a while) and then said, \"It is obligatory for every Muslim that he should take a bath once in seven days, when he should wash his head and body.\" Narrated Abu Huraira through different narrators that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"It is Allah's right on every Muslim that he should take a bath (at least) once in seven days.\" Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite the following in the Fajr prayer of Friday, \"Alif, Lam, Mim, Tanzil\" (Surat-as-Sajda #32) and \"Hal-ata-ala-l-Insani\" (i.e. Surah-Ad-Dahr #76). Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The first Jumua prayer which was offered after a Jumua prayer offered at the mosque of Allah's Apostle took place in the mosque of the tribe of `Abdul Qais at Jawathi in Bahrain. Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Jumua prayer immediately after midday. Narrated Anas bin Malik: We used to offer the Jumua prayer early and then have an afternoon nap. Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the prayer earlier if it was very cold; and if it was very hot he used to delay the prayer, i.e. the Jumua prayer."
