It was
narrated from Samurah bin Jundab that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
described the likeness of Friday, saying that those who come
earliest
are like the one who sacrifices a camel, then like one who
sacrifices
a cow, then like one who sacrifices a sheep, until he made
mention of
a chicken.
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 291
← Previous Hadith
“When Friday comes, angels stand at every door of the mosque and
record the names of the people who come, in order of arrival. When
the
Imam comes out, they close their records and listen to the
sermon. The
first one who comes to the prayer is like one who
sacrifices a camel;
the one who comes after him is like one who
sacrifices a cow; the one
who comes after him is like one who
sacrifices a ram,” (and so on)
until he made mention of a hen and
an egg. Sahl added in his Hadith:
“And whoever comes after that
comes only to do his duty with regard to
the prayer.”
