The Importance of Ghusl Before Friday Prayer

SUMMARY: People were encouraged to perform Ghusl before attending Friday prayer.

'Aishah said: The people (mostly) were workers and they would come for Friday prayer in the same condition, so it was said to them: If only you were to perform Ghusl.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّاسُ مُهَّانَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَرُوحُونَ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ بِهَيْئَتِهِمْ فَقِيلَ لَهُمْ لَوِ اغْتَسَلْتُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of performing ritual ablution, known as ghusl, before attending the weekly congregational prayer on Fridays. It was narrated by 'Aishah who said that people would come for the Friday prayer in their working clothes and it was suggested to them that they should perform ghusl beforehand. Performing ghusl is a form of purification and cleanliness which is highly recommended in Islam. It involves washing one's entire body with water and can be done at any time during the day or night. It is especially important to do so before attending congregational prayers such as those on Fridays or during Eid celebrations, as it shows respect for God and His house of worship. Additionally, it serves as a reminder to believers that they should strive for purity in all aspects of their lives - physical, mental and spiritual - so that they may be closer to God Almighty.
