- It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever does ghusl on Friday like ghusl for janaabah, then goes to the prayer (in the first hour, i.e., early),
it is as if he sacrificed a camel.
Whoever goes in the second hour,
it is as if he sacrificed a cow;
whoever goes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a horned ram;
whoever goes in the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a hen; and
whoever goes in the fifth hour it is as if he offered an egg.
When the imam comes out, the angels come to listen to the khutbah.”
