1387. It was narrated from Abû Hurairah, who was attributing it to the Prophet ﷺ: "When Friday comes, at every gate of the Masjid there are angels who write down the people's names in the order in which they come, then when the Imâm comes out, they roll up the scrolls and listen to the Khuṭbah. The one who comes early to the prayer is like the one who sacrifices a camel, then the one who comes after him is like the one who sacrifices a cow, then the one who comes after him is like the one who sacrifices a ram" until he mentioned a chicken and an egg. (Sahîh)

Commentary
1. The purpose of this narration is to demonstrate that the difference of rewards given to worshippers is in accord with the timing of their arriving for Salatul Jumu'ah. As the delay of their arrival increases, the reward they receive decreases.
2. There is mention of a sparrow also in this report. Sheikh Nâsiruddin Al-Albâni states concerning it: "(the expression) 'the sparrow is Munkar' - (rejected, very weak Hadîth in which an unacceptable narrator relates something that contradicts what the acceptable sources state.) Dujajah (the hen) is Mahfûz or preserved." (Shâhih Sunan An-Nasâ'i, Hadîth 1386)
