Sahih al-Bukhari 878 (Book 11, Hadith 3) #849
Taking Bath on Fridays

SUMMARY: Umar bin Al-Khattab was delivering a sermon on a Friday and asked one of the companions of the Prophet about the time. The companion replied that he had only performed ablution and not taken a bath, to which Umar reminded him that Allah's Messenger (pbuh) used to order them to take a bath on Fridays.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: While 'Umar bin Al-Khattab was standing and delivering the sermon on a Friday, one of the companions of the Prophet, who was one of the foremost Muhajirs (emigrants) came'.Umar said to him, "What is the time now?" He replied, "I was busy and could not go back to my house till I heard the Adhan. I did not perform more than the ablution". Thereupon 'Umar said to him, "Did you perform only the ablution although you know that Allah's Messenger ﷺ (pbuh) used to order us to take a bath (on Fridays)?"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، بَيْنَمَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الأَوَّلِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَادَاهُ عُمَرُ أَيَّةُ سَاعَةٍ هَذِهِ قَالَ إِنِّي شُغِلْتُ فَلَمْ أَنْقَلِبْ إِلَى أَهْلِي حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ التَّأْذِينَ، فَلَمْ أَزِدْ أَنْ تَوَضَّأْتُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ وَالْوُضُوءُ أَيْضًا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْغُسْلِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Ibn 'Umar and it talks about taking a bath on Fridays. Umar bin Al-Khattab was delivering his sermon when one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad came late. When asked what time it was, he replied that he had only performed ablution but not taken a bath as ordered by Allah's Messenger (pbuh). This shows us how important it is for Muslims to follow the orders given by Prophet Muhammad in order to gain rewards from Allah SWT. Taking baths on Fridays is an act of worship which can help us purify our souls and bring us closer to Allah SWT. It also teaches us discipline and obedience towards our religion as well as respect for our elders like Umar bin Al-Khattab who reminded this companion about taking baths on Fridays even though he himself did not do so due to being busy with other matters.
