Sahih Muslim 845a (Book 7, Hadith 5) #9195
The Importance of Taking a Bath on Fridays

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of taking a bath on Fridays and how Umar reminded someone to do so.

'Abdullah (b'.Umar) reported from his father that while he was addressing the people on Friday (sermon), a person, one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah , entered (the mosque). Umar said to him loudly: What is this hour (for attending the prayer)? He said: I was busy today and I did not return to my house when I heard the call (to Friday prayer), and I did no more but performed ablution only. Upon this Umar said: just ablution! You know that the Messenger of Allah commanded (us) to take a bath (on Friday).
وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏.‏ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، بَيْنَا هُوَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَنَادَاهُ عُمَرُ أَيَّةُ سَاعَةٍ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي شُغِلْتُ الْيَوْمَ فَلَمْ أَنْقَلِبْ إِلَى أَهْلِي حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ النِّدَاءَ فَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى أَنْ تَوَضَّأْتُ ‏.‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ وَالْوُضُوءَ أَيْضًا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْغُسْلِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of taking a bath on Fridays before attending prayer. Umar was addressing people in the mosque when he noticed someone who had only performed ablution and not taken a bath. He reminded him that Prophet Muhammad commanded us to take a bath before attending prayer on Fridays. This shows us that we should always be mindful of our hygiene and cleanliness when it comes to religious practices such as prayer. It also teaches us that we should always follow the commands given by Prophet Muhammad as they are for our own benefit and well-being in this life and hereafter.
