Atonement Through Congregational Prayer

SUMMARY: Taking a bath, wearing nice clothes, applying perfume (if available), attending the congregational prayer in the mosque without stepping over people, and remaining silent during the prayer will atone for one's sins of the previous week.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri and Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah as saying: If anyone takes a bath on Friday, puts on his best clothes, applies a touch of perfume if has any, then goes to congregational prayer (in the mosque), and takes care not to step over people, then prayer what Allah has prescribes for him, then keeps silent from the time his Imam comes out until he finishes his prayer, it will atone for his sins during the previous week. Abu Hurairah said: (It will atone for his sins) for three days more. he further said: One is rewarded ten times for doing a good work. Abu Dawud said: The version narrated by Muhammad b. Salamah is perfect, and Hammad did not make a mention of the statement of Abu Hurairah.
