1096. It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon to the people one Friday, and he saw them wearing woolen clothes. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There is nothing wrong with any one of you, if he can afford it, buying two garments for Friday, other than his daily work clothes." (Hasan)
1096 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَرَأَى عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابَ النِّمَارِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ إِنْ وَجَدَ سَعَةً أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ ثَوْبَيْنِ لِجُمُعَتِهِ سِوَى ثَوْبَيْ مِهْنَتِهِ»

Wearing clean nice clothes specially made for Friday prayers shall be a proof that the person concerned attaches greater importance to this particular act of worship. There is no harm done if one is not able to have separate garments for the occasion, but he must take particular care of cleanliness for the occasion.
a. Performing ablution and bath, and doing them well, is recognizing the importance of Friday. b. People should come duly perfumed for Friday prayer. If a person has no perfume for himself, he can use the perfume of his family. c. It is not allowed for anyone to come late, and yet try to create a space for himself in the front row by putting the seated assembly to inconvenience.
