Whenever Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) completed the Salat with Taslim, the women used to get up immediately and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) would remain at his place for sometime before getting up. The subnarrator (Az-Zuhri) said, “We think, and Allah knows better, that he did so, so that the women might leave before the men could catch up with them.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite the following in the Fajr prayer of Friday, “Alif, Lam, Mim, Tanzil” (Suratas-
Sajda #32) and “Hal-ata-ala-l-Insani” (i.e. Surah-Ad-Dahr #76).

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) saying, “We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the
foremost on the Day of Resurrection though the former nations were given the Holy Scriptures before
us. And this was their day (Friday) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them but they
differed about it. So Allah gave us the guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in
this respect: the Jews’ (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and the Christians’ (is) the day after
tomorrow (i.e. Sunday).”

The first Jumua prayer which was offered after a Jumua prayer offered at the mosque of Allah’s
Apostle took place in the mosque of the tribe of `Abdul Qais at Jawathi in Bahrain.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, “Anyone of you attending the Friday (prayers) should take a bath.”

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “All of you are Guardians.” Yunis said: Ruzaiq bin Hukaim wrote to
Ibn Shihab while I was with him at Wadi-al-Qura saying, “Shall I lead the Jumua prayer?” Ruzaiq was
working on the land (i.e. farming) and there was a group of Sudanese people and some others with
him; Ruzaiq was then the Governor of Aila. Ibn Shihab wrote (to Ruzaiq) ordering him to lead the
Jumua prayer and telling him that Salim told him that `Abdullah bin `Umar had said, “I heard Allah’s
Apostle saying, ‘All of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and the things under your
care. The Imam (i.e. ruler) is the guardian of his subjects and is responsible for them and a man is the
guardian of his family and is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s house
and is responsible for it. A servant is the guardian of his master’s belongings and is responsible for
them.’ I thought that he also said, ‘A man is the guardian of his father’s property and is responsible for
it. All of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and the things under your care.”

Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) delayed the `Isha’ prayer till `Umar informed him that the women and children
had slept. Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came out and said: “None from amongst the dwellers of earth have
prayed this prayer except you.” In those days none but the people of Medina prayed.

A person asked Ibn `Abbas, “Have you ever presented yourself at the (`Id) prayer with Allah’s
Apostle?” He replied, “Yes.” And had it not been for my kinship (position) with the Prophet (ﷺ) it would
not have been possible for me to do so (for he was too young). The Prophet (ﷺ) went to the mark near the
house of Kathir bin As-Salt and delivered a sermon. He then went towards the women. He advised
and reminded them and asked them to give alms. So the woman would bring her hand near her neck
and take off her necklace and put it in the garment of Bilal. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) and Bilal came to the
house.”

Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) delayed the `Isha’ prayer till `Umar informed him that the women and children
had slept. The Prophet (ﷺ) came out and said, “None except you from amongst the dwellers of earth is
waiting for this prayer.” In those days, there was no prayer except in Medina and they used to pray the
`Isha’ prayer between the disappearance of the twilight and the first third of the night.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If your women ask permission to go to the mosque at night, allow them.”
