1368. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'We are the last (to come) but will be the foremost on the Day of Resurrection, but they were given the Book before us and we were given it after them. They differed concerning this day which Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, had prescribed for them and Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, guided us to" – meaning Friday – "so the people follow us, the Jews the next day and the Christians the day after that." (Sahih)

Commentary
Evidently, it seems Allāh, Most High, had prescribed the day of Friday for them, specifically for worship. But they did not accept or adopt it. They differed about it. Instead, the Jews chose Saturday and the Christians chose for themselves Sunday; whereas the day of Friday is the most superior.
