The Great Reward Of Going Early to the Jummah Prayer
The Great Reward Of Going Early to the Jummah Prayer before the Imam comes out to deliver the Khutbah It was narrated from Abu Hurairah, who was attributing it to the Prophet (ﷺ): “When Friday comes, at every gate of the masjid there are angels who write down the people’s names in the order in which they come, then when the imam comes out, they roll up the scrolls and listen to the khutbah. The one who comes early to the prayer is like the one who sacrifices a camel, then the one who comes after him is like the one who sacrifices a cow, then the one who comes after him is like the one who sacrifices a ram” until he mentioned a chicken and an egg.

“Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath ofJanaabaand then goes for theSalaat(prayer) (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed acamel(in Allaah’s Cause); and whoever goes in the second hour, it is as if he had sacrificed acow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hornedram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed ahen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour, then it is as if he had offeredan egg. When the Imaam comes out [i.e. starts deliveiring theKhutba(religious talk) ], the angels present themselves to listen to theKhutba.”
