1084. It was narrated that Abu Lubābah bin 'Abdul-Mundhir
said: "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Friday is the chief of days, the greatest day before Allāh. It is greater before Allāh than the Day of Adha and the Day of Fitr. It has five characteristics: On it Allāh created Âdam; on it Allāh sent Âdam down to this earth; on it Allāh caused Âdam to die; on it there is a time during which a person does not ask Allāh for anything but He will give it to him, so long as he does not ask for anything that is forbidden; and on it the Hour will begin. There is no angel who is close to Allāh, no heaven, no earth, no wind, no mountain and no sea that does not fear Friday.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
The creation of Âdam ﷺ was a great favor of Allāh, since we are all from him, and by virtue of being humans, we are superior to other creatures if we adorn ourselves with the wealth of true belief and virtuous deeds.
The coming down of our grandfather Âdam ﷺ was also a great favor of Allāh upon us.
Even death is a great boon for a true believer, since it is the doorway through which we pass over to the territory of Allāh's bounties and favors, leaving behind our earthly period of trial. Entry into Paradise as well as the joy of seeing Allāh is only possible after we are able to cross the threshold of death. Friday was a blessed day for Âdam ﷺ because it was on this day that he met his death and entered the Gardens of Paradise. This is also a day of celebration for us, because it was on this day (Friday) that Allāh showered His mercy on our great grandfather.
The Day of Resurrection is the day of Allāh's mercy, but it is also the day of His punishment for the wrongdoers and sinners. Many fearful happenings are foretold to occur on that day. All the creatures, therefore, fear the coming of Friday, because any Friday could be the Doomsday.
