حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ بَيْنَا هُوَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَتَحْتَبِسُونَ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ النِّدَاءَ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَالْوُضُوءَ أَيْضًا أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Abu Hurairah and it talks about the importance of taking a bath before attending the Friday prayer. Umar ibn al-Khattab was giving a speech in the mosque when he noticed someone who had only performed ablution and not taken a bath. He asked him if he was detained from prayer and upon hearing his answer that he had only performed ablution, Umar reminded him that Prophet Muhammad said that one should take a bath before attending the Friday prayer. This shows us how important it is to follow Prophet Muhammad's teachings in order to be able to attend prayers properly. It also teaches us to be mindful of our hygiene as we prepare for prayers so that we can be spiritually clean as well as physically clean when we pray.
