Arabic text
عن عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: «مَنْ جَاءَ مِنْكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ».
Translation
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever of you comes to attend the Friday prayer, let him take a shower."
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) affirms that it is recommended for whoever wants to attend the Friday prayer to take a shower like that which he takes from Janābah (major ritual impurity).
Benefits
- Affirming the Friday Ghusl (ritual bath) and the fact that it is Sunnah for the believer on Friday, preferably just before going to the prayer.
- Keenness on being clean and having a pleasant smell is among the Muslim's morals and manners, and this is more emphatic when meeting and sitting with people, especially during the Friday and congregational prayers.
- The Hadīth addresses those upon whom the Friday prayer is obligatory because they are the ones who attend it.
- It is recommended for the one who attends the Friday prayer to be clean. So, he should take a bath to remove the foul odors from his body, and he should wear perfume. However, if he makes ablution only, it will be sufficient for him.
Explanation: العربية
يُؤَكِّدُ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم على مَن أراد أنْ يأتي لصلاة الجمعة فإنه يستحب له أن يغتسل، مثل غُسلِه للجنابة.
- تأكيد غُسْل الجمعة، وأنه سنة للمؤمن يوم الجمعة وأنْ يكون عند الذهاب للصلاة أفضل.
- الحرص على النظافة وطيب الرائحة من أخلاق المسلم وآدابه، ويتأكد الأمر عند مُلاقاة الناس ومجالستهم، لا سيما في الجمع والجماعات.
- الخطاب في الحديث لِمَن تَجب عليه الجمعة؛ لأنه هو الذي يأتيها.
- يستحب لمن يأتي الجمعة أن يكون نظيفًا، فيغتسل حتى تزول الروائح من جسده ويتطيب، وإن توضأ فقط أجزأه ذلك.
