Riyad as-Salihin, 827

Salman Al-Farisi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If a man takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself thoroughly, uses oil and perfume which is available in the house, sets forth for the mosque, does not (forcibly) sit between two persons, offers the prayer that is prescribed for him and listens to the Imam silently, his sins between this Friday and the previous Friday will be forgiven." [Al- Bukhari].

وعن أبى عبد الله سلمان الفارسي رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏

‏لا يغتسل رجل يوم الجمعة، ويتطهر ما استطاع من طهر، ويدهن من دهنه، أو يمس من طيب بيته، ثم يخرج فلا يفرق بين اثنين، ثم يصلى ما كتب له، ثم ينصت إذا تكلم الإمام، إلا غفر له ما بينه وبين الجمعة الأخرى‏

‏ ((رواه البخاري)).‏

Guidance from the Hadith: 1) One of the etiquettes of attending the Friday prayer is not to separate between two persons. But if there is a gap between two persons, then filling it is not considered separating between them. 2) Expiation of sins from Friday to Friday is conditional upon the fulfillment of all the etiquettes mentioned in the Hadith. A complete reward depends on a complete action.
