351. Abū Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, the Ghusl of sexual impurity, then goes (to the Masjid), it is as if he has offered (as sacrifice) a camel. And whoever goes during the second hour, it is as if he has offered (as sacrifice) a cow. And whoever goes during the third hour, it is as if he has offered (as sacrifice) a horned sheep. And whoever goes during the fourth hour, it is as if he has offered (as sacrifice) a hen. And whoever goes during the fifth hour, it is as if he has offered (as sacrifice) an egg. And when the Imām comes out, the angels come in order to listen to the remembrance." (Sahih)

Commentary
Even though it is correct that they attended the Friday prayer, those who come after the Khaṭīb begins the Khuṭbah will have less of a reward. According to similar and more detailed versions of this Hadīth, the Angels close their records after the Imām appears to start the Khuṭbah (see. No. 1986 of Sahih Muslim). It should be noted that the example of an egg is given here only to explain the reward that one gets for offering a camel, a cow, etc. It does not mean that an egg can be offered as a sacrifice.
