Riyad as-Salihin 1154 (Book 8, Hadith 164) #37643
The Power of Friday Prayers

SUMMARY: Taking a bath, purifying oneself, oiling hair, applying perfume, going to the mosque for prayer and remaining silent when the Imam speaks can lead to forgiveness of minor sins.

Salman (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "If a man takes bath on Friday, (or) purifies himself as much as he can with Wudu', oils his hair, applies whatever perfume available in his house, sets forth for the mosque, does not separate two people (to make a seat for himself), performs Salat what is prescribed for him, remains silent when the Imam speaks, his (minor) sins between that Friday and the following Friday will be forgiven". Al-Bukhari.
- وعن سلمان، رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏لا يغتسل رجل يوم الجمعة، ويتطهر ما استطاع من طهر، ويدهن من دهنه، أو يمس من طيب بيته، ثم يخرج فلا يفرق بين اثنين، ثم يصلي ما كتب له، ثم ينصت إذا تكلم الإمام، إلا غفر له ما بينه وبين الجمعة الأخرى‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه
