Sunan Ibn Majah 1085 (Book 5, Hadith 283) #30437
The Blessings of Friday

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that Friday is the best day of the week, and that sending peace and blessings upon him on this day will be presented to him even after his death.

It was narrated that Shaddad bin Aws said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The best of your days is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it the Trumpet will be blown, on it all creatures will swoon. So send a great deal of peace and blessings upon me on that day, for your peace and blessings will be presented to me.’ A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how will our peace and blessings be shown to you when you will have disintegrated?’ He said: 'Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ إِنَّ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ أَيَّامِكُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ النَّفْخَةُ وَفِيهِ الصَّعْقَةُ فَأَكْثِرُوا عَلَىَّ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ صَلاَتَكُمْ مَعْرُوضَةٌ عَلَىَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تُعْرَضُ صَلاَتُنَا عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْ أَرَمْتَ - يَعْنِي بَلِيتَ - ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ أَجْسَادَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Shaddad bin Aws teaches us about the importance of Friday in Islam. It is said to be the best day of the week, as it was on this day that Adam was created and when the Trumpet will be blown signaling Judgement Day. Furthermore, it is said that sending peace and blessings upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on this day will be presented to him even after his death. This shows us how important it is for Muslims to remember their beloved Prophet in their prayers every single day, but especially on Fridays. Additionally, we learn from this hadith that Allah has forbidden the earth from consuming bodies of Prophets - a sign of respect for them due to their status as messengers sent by God.
