499. Abū Hurairah narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday – the Ghusl for Janābah – then he goes, he is like one who gave a camel in charity. Whoever goes in the second hour, then he is like one who gave a cow in charity.
Whoever goes in the third hour then he is like one who gave a horned ram in charity. Whoever goes in the fourth hour, then he is like the one who gave a chicken in charity. Whoever goes in the fifth hour, then he is like one who gave an egg in charity. When the Imām comes out, the angels are present listening to the remembrance.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr and Samurah.
Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.

Commentary
According to Imām Mālik, these times are from the time the sun passes the meridian until the Imām appears. From among the later scholars, Imām Muhammad Ḥayāt Sindhī and Abul-Ḥasan Sindhī also adopted the same opinion. [Fath- Al-Mulhim: 2 /389]. The inclination of Shāh Waliullāh also looks to the same side and he wrote: ‘These times are small intervals that begin from the time of the obligation of Friday until the Imām stands for the sermon’. [Hujjatullāhil Bālighah: 2/29]. As the Imām appears to deliver the sermon the register of extra reward and recompense is closed, and the angels responsible for it become attentive to the sermon, but as for the reward of Friday, it is there.
