Allah's Apostle saw said, "Anyone who takes a bath on Friday and cleans himself as much as he can and puts oil (on his hair) or scents himself; and then proceeds for the prayer and does not force his way between two persons (assembled in the mosque for the Friday prayer), and prays as much as is written for him and remains quiet when the Imam delivers the Khutba, all his sins in between the present and the last Friday will be forgiven."
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Taking a bath on Friday is essential for every adult person.
Hadith number in Sahih Muslim [Arabic only]: 1397
It is related from Imam Ahmad rahmatullahialayh that he said that in certain aspects the rank of the night of jumu'ah is even higher than Laylatul Qadr One of the reasons for this is that it was on this night that Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) appeared in the womb of his mother Rasulullah's (Allah bless him & give him peace) appearance in this world was a cause of so much good and blessings both in this world and in the hereafter that they cannot be enumerated. (Ash'atulLama'aat)
One question. Is it okay if surah kahf i read partially at a time. For example, half of the surah is read before zohor and then another half is read after asar? This is because of the sudden work that comes in between. Is this permissible?
