1376. It was narrated (through two chains) from 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Abî Sa'eed, from his father, that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Ghusl and using Siwâk on Fridays are obligatory for everyone who has reached the age of puberty, and he should put on whatever he can find of perfume." Except that Bukair (one of the narrators in one chain) did not mention 'Abdur-Rahmân, and about the perfume he said: "Even if it is women's perfume." (Sahih)

Commentary
"It is compulsory" according to this narration, and according to the narrations pertaining to the command of taking a bath on Friday. Moreover, according to the narrations 1378 and 1379, a section of scholars considers taking the Friday bath compulsory, and there is no blemish on its evidence. Whereas, a large section of scholars does not consider it compulsory, and they interpret these narrations or reports. Variously, they argue that here compulsion means (something) stressed or emphasized, because from other narrations it follows that the bath (on Friday) is not compulsory and a narration cannot be given a singular meaning irrespective of other narrations. Hence, here are meant only men, because the Jumu'ah is compulsory upon them only.
