Sahih al-Bukhari 884 (Book 11, Hadith 9) #855
The Essentiality of Bathing on Fridays

SUMMARY: Taking a bath on Fridays is essential, but using perfume is not necessarily required.

Narrated Tawus: I said to Ibn 'Abbas, "The people are narrating that the Prophet said, 'Take a bath on Friday and wash your heads (ie take a thorough bath) even though you were not Junub and use perfume'". On that Ibn 'Abbas replied, "I know about the bath, (ie it is essential) but I do not know about the perfume (ie whether it is essential or not)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ طَاوُسٌ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ذَكَرُوا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اغْتَسِلُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاغْسِلُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا جُنُبًا، وَأَصِيبُوا مِنَ الطِّيبِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَمَّا الْغُسْلُ فَنَعَمْ، وَأَمَّا الطِّيبُ فَلاَ أَدْرِي‏.‏
