340. Abū Hurairah narrated that once ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb was giving the Friday sermon when a man entered (the Masjid). ‘Umar said: “Are you delayed in coming to the prayer?” The man responded: “As soon as I heard the call to prayer (Adhān), I performed the Wudū (and came).” ‘Umar said: “And Wudū’ as well? Did you not hear the saying of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: ‘When one of you comes to the Friday prayer, let him perform Ghusl?’” (Saḥīh)
340 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ بَيْنَا هُوَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَتَحْتَبِسُونَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ؟ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ سَمِعْتُ النِّدَاءَ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَالْوُضُوءُ أَيْضًا، أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ»

The man who came late during the Khuṭbah was ‘Uthmān. This is among the texts used as proof that Ghusl on Friday is obligatory, as well as an attendee to the Friday Khuṭbah replying to the Khaṭīb when requested by him during the Khuṭbah.
