Riyad as-Salihin 1155 (Book 8, Hadith 165) #37644
Rewards of Attending Friday Prayers

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the rewards for attending Friday prayers at different times, with the greatest reward being given to those who attend at the earliest time.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "He who takes a bath on Friday, like the bath for ceremonial purity, and then goes (to the mosque), he is like one who offers a camel as a sacrifice to seek the Pleasure of Allah; and he who comes at the second hour is like one who offers a cow to win the Pleasure of Allah; and he who comes at the third hour is like one who offers a ram with horns (in sacrifice); and he who comes at the fourth hour is like one who offers a hen; and he who comes at the fifth hour is like one who offers an egg. And when the Imam ascends the pulpit, the angels (who write the names of those who come to the mosque before the coming of the Imam) close (their record) in order to listen to the Khutbah". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، أن رسول الله ، قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏من اغتسل يوم الجمعة غسل الجنابة، ثم راح في الساعة الأولى فكأنما قرب بدنة، ومن راح في الساعة الثانية، فكأنما قرب بقرة، ومن راح في الساعة الثالثة، فكأنما قرب كبشًا أقرن، ومن راح في الساعة الرابعة، فكأنما قرب دجاجة، ومن راح في الساعة الخامسة، فكأنما قرب بيضة، فإذا خرج الإمام، حضرت الملائكة يستمعون الذكر‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
