Sunan Ibn Majah 1083 (Book 5, Hadith 281) #30435
The Significance of Friday in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that Allah led those before us astray from Friday, and that Saturday was for the Jews and Sunday was for the Christians. He also said that Muslims will be the first to be judged on the Day of Resurrection.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah led those who came before us astray from Friday. Saturday was for the Jews and Sunday was for the Christians. And they will lag behind us until the Day of Resurrection. We are the last of the people of this world but we will be the first to be judged among all of creation.’"
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيُّ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، وَعَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ أَضَلَّ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْجُمُعَةِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَنَا. كَانَ لِلْيَهُودِ يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ. وَالأَحَدُ لِلنَّصَارَى. فَهُمْ لَنَا تَبَعٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ. نَحْنُ الآخِرُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا، وَالأَوَّلُونَ الْمَقْضِيُّ لَهُمْ قَبْلَ الْخَلاَئِقِ

This hadith speaks about the importance of Friday in Islam. According to this hadith, Allah led those who came before us astray from observing Friday as a day of rest and worship. Instead, Saturday was designated as a day of rest for Jews and Sunday for Christians. However, Muslims are instructed to observe Jumu'ah or Friday as their day of rest and worship instead. Furthermore, this hadith states that Muslims will be judged first on the Day of Resurrection among all other creations in existence. This emphasizes how important it is for Muslims to observe Jumu'ah with reverence and respect so they can receive God's blessings on this special day.
