2. Have a bath (ghusl) on Friday. The one who has a bath on Friday, his minor sins are forgiven. ^[2]

Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who performs a ghusl on the day of Jumu’ah, his minor sins are forgiven.”  ^[3]

3. Remove unwanted hair and trim your nails on the day of Jumu’ah. ^[4]

4. Clean your mouth with a miswaak and apply itr. ^[5]

Hazrat Abu Sa’eed Khudri (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Every baaligh person should perform ghusl on the day of Jumu’ah, use the miswaak and apply any itr that he is able to apply.” ^[6]

5. Wear your best clothes on the day of Jumu’ah.^{See 5}

Hazrat Abdullah bin Salaam (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that he heard Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mention while he was on the mimbar, delivering the khutbah on the day of Jumu’ah, “Why do you not purchase a pair of clothing and keep it exclusive for wearing on the day of Jumu’ah, apart from your normal daily clothing?” ^[7]

6. It is preferable to wear white clothing. ^[8]

Hazrat Ibnu Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Wear white clothing, for indeed it is the best of clothes, and enshroud your deceased in it.” ^[9]

7. It is reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) at times would recite Surah Sajdah in the first rakaat and Surah Dahr in the second rakaat of the Fajr Salaah on the day of Jumu’ah. Hence, one should sometimes recite these Surahs in the Fajr Salaah on the day of Jumu’ah. ^[10]

8. Proceed early to the musjid for the Jumu’ah Salaah. The earlier one goes, the greater the reward one receives. ^[11]

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who performs a ghusl like the ghusl of janaabah (i.e. he thoroughly cleans himself in the manner one cleans himself when performing ghusl from janaabah), and thereafter he proceeds for Jumu’ah Salaah in the first time slot, then he receives reward equivalent to the one who sacrifices a camel for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala, and whoever proceeds for Jumu’ah Salaah in the second time slot, then he receives reward equivalent to the one who sacrifices a cow for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala, and whoever proceeds for Jumu’ah Salaah in the third time slot, then he receives reward equivalent to the one who sacrifices a sheep which has horns for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala, and whoever proceeds for Jumu’ah Salaah in the fourth time slot, then he receives reward equivalent to the one who gives a chicken in charity for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala, and whoever proceeds for Jumu’ah Salaah in the fifth and final time slot, then he receives reward equivalent to the one who gives an egg in charity for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala.” ^[12]
