491. Abū Hurairah narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: The best day that the sun has risen upon is Friday. On it Ādam was created, on it he entered Paradise, and on it, he was sent down from it. And in it there is an hour in which the Muslim worshipper would not stand in Salāt, asking Allāh for anything except that He would give it to him." Abū Hurairah said: "I met 'Abdullāh bin Salām, and I mentioned this Hadīth to him. He said: 'I am more knowledgeable about that hour.' So
I said: 'Inform me about it, and do not keep any of it from me.' He said: 'It is after Al-'Aṣr until the sun has set.' I said: 'How can it be after Al-'Aṣr when Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: 'The Muslim worshipper would not stand in Ṣalāt,' and that is a time that prayer is not performed in?' So 'Abdullāh bin Salām said: 'Didn't Allāh's Messenger ﷺ say: "Whoever sat in a gathering awaiting the Ṣalāt then he is in Ṣalāt?"' I said: 'Of course.' He said: 'Then that is it.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There is a long story in this Hadīth.
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
He said: His saying: "Inform me about it, and do not keep any of it from me" means: "don't be stingy with me regarding it." Ad-Danīn is stingy, suspected, charged.

Commentary
Although this is the preferred opinion, that this moment is after the 'Aṣr prayer; both 'Abdullāh bin Salām and Ka'b Aḥbār quoted the same opinion from the Torah. Yet as the time of the sermon and Friday prayer is a special time of worship and supplication, therefore the supplication should be made in both times, this also proves that making the supplication while the sermon is in progress is not contrary to the silence required for the sermon.
