Sunan Abi Dawud 1046 (Book 2, Hadith 657) #21338
The Special Day of Friday

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the importance of Friday and how it is a special day for Muslims. It also mentions that there is a specific time on Friday when any Muslim who prays and asks anything from Allah will be granted it.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Messenger of Allah said: The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he was expelled (from Paradise), on it his contrition was accepted, on it he died, and on it the Last Hour will take place. On Friday every beast is on the lookout from dawn to sunrise in fear of the Last Hour, but not jinn and men, and it contains a time at which no Muslim prays and asks anything from Allah but He will give it to him. Ka'b said: That is one day every year. So I said: It is on every Friday. Ka'b read the Torah and said: The Messenger of Allah has spoken the truth. AbuHurayrah said: I met Abdullah ibn Salam and told him of my meeting with Ka'b. Abdullah ibn Salam said: I know what time it is. AbuHurayrah said: I asked him to tell me about it. Abdullah ibn Salam said: It is at the very end of Friday. I asked: How can it be when the Messenger of Allah has said: "No Muslim finds it while he is praying".. and this is the moment when no prayer is offered. Abdullah ibn Salam said: Has the Messenger of Allah not said: "If anyone is seated waiting for the prayer, he is engaged in the prayer until he observes it". I said: Yes, it is so.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of the day of Jumu'ah or Friday in Islam. It was narrated by AbuHurayrah and Abdullah ibn Salam that Prophet Muhammad said that this is the best day on which the sun has risen as this was the day when Adam was created, expelled from Paradise, his contrition was accepted and he died. Furthermore, every beast is on alert from dawn to sunrise in fear of Qiyamah or Last Hour but not jinns and men. There is also a special time during this day where if any Muslim prays to Allah asking for something then they will be granted it. Abdullah ibn Salam further explained that this time occurs at the very end of Jumu'ah when no prayer is offered but if anyone waits for prayer then they are considered to be engaged in prayer until they observe it. Thus we can see how important Jumu'ah or Friday holds in Islam as it contains many blessings within its hours which can only be attained through faithfulness towards Allah's commands and prayers.
