DEATH:

2:28 - How can ye reject the faith in Allah? Seeing that ye were without life and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return. 4

46 In the preceeding verses God has used various arguments. He has recalled His goodness (ii. 21-22); resolved doubts (ii. 23); plainly set forth the penalty of wrong-doing (ii. 24); given glad tidings (ii. 25), shown how misunderstandings arise from a deliberate rejection of the light and breach of the Covenant (ii. 26-27). Now (ii. 28-29) He pleads with His creatures and appeals to their own subjective feelings. He brought you into being. The mysteries of life and death are in His hands. When you die on this earth, that is not the end. You were of Him, and you must return to Him. Look around you and realize your own dignity; it is from Him. The immeasurable depths of space above and around you may stagger you. They are part of His plan. What you have imagined as the seven firmaments (and any other scheme you may construct) bears witness to His design of order and perfection, for His knowledge (unlike yours) is all-comprehending. And yet will you deliberately reject or obscure or deaden the faculty of Faith which has been put into you? (2.28)

2:180 - It is prescribed when death approaches any of you if he leave any goods that he make a bequest to parents and next of kin according to reasonable usage; this is due from the Allah-fearing. 186

186 There are rules of course for the disposal of intestate property. But it is a good thing that a dying man or woman should, of his own free-will, think of his parents and his next of kin, not in a spirit of injustice to other, but in a spirit of love and reverence for those who have cherished him. He must, however, do it "according to reasonable usage": the limitations will be seen further on. (2.180)

3:185 - Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the fire and admitted to the garden will have attained the object (of life): for the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception. 491 492

491 The death of the body will give a taste of death to the soul when the soul separates from the body. The soul will then know that this life was but a probation. And seeming inequalities will be adjusted finally on the Day of Judgment. (3.185)

492 Cf. Longfellow's Psalm of Life: "All this world's a fleeting show. For man's illusion given". The only reality will be when we have attained our final goal. (3.185)

4:78 - "Wherever ye are death will find you out even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!" If some good befalls them they say "This is from Allah"; but if evil they say "this is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah. But what hath come to these people that they fail to understand a single fact? 597

597 The Hypocrites were inconsistent, and in this reflect unregenerate mankind. If a disaster happens, due to their own folly, they blame somebody else; but if they are fortunate, they claim reflected credit by pretending that Heaven has favoured them because of their own superior merits. The modern critic discards even this pretence, eliminates Heaven altogether, and claims all credit direct to himself, unless he brings in blind Chance, but that he does mostly to "explain" misfortune. If we look to the ultimate Cause of all things, all things come from Allah. But if we look to the proximate cause of things, our own merit is so small, that we can hardly claim credit for good ourselves with any fairness. In Allah's hand is all good: iii.26. On the other hand, the proximate cause of our evil is due to some wrong in our own inner selves; for never are we dealt with unjustly in the very least: iv. 77. (4.78)

6:93 - Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah or saith "I have received inspiration" when he hath received none or (again) who saith "I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed?" If thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! the angels stretch forth their hands (saying) "Yield up your souls. This day shall ye receive your reward a penalty of shame for that ye used to tell lies against Allah and scornfully to reject of His Signs!" 915

915 Yield up your souls: or "get your souls to come out of your bodies." The wicked, we may suppose, are not anxious to part with the material existence in their bodies for the "reward" which in irony is stated to be there to welcome them. (6.93)

8:50 - If thou couldst see when the angels take the souls of the unbelievers (at death) (how) they smite their faces and their backs (saying): "Taste the penalty of the blazing fire. 1219

1219 In contrast to the taunt against those who trust in Allah, "that their religion has misled them," is shown the terrible punishment, after death, of those who laughed at Faith. (8.50)

14:17 - In gulps will he sip it but never well he be near swallowing it down his throat: Death will come to him from every quarter yet will he not die: and in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting. 1891

1891 A graphic and deterrent picture, from the preaching of the earlier Prophets, of unrelieved horror of the torments of Hell. The door of escape by annihilation is also closed to them. (14.17)

21:35 - Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial: to Us must ye return. 2697

2697 Cf. iii. 185. and n. 491. The soul does not die, but when it separates from the body at the death of the body, the soul gets a taste of death. In our life of probation on this earth, our virtue and faith are tested by many things: some are tested by calamities, and some by the good things of this life. If we prove our true mettle, we pass our probation with success. In any case all must return to Allah, and then will our life be appraised at its true value. (21.35)

26:116 - They said: "If thou desist not O Noah! thou shalt be stoned (to death)." 3191

3191 Two other cases occur to me where prophets of Allah were threatened with death by stoning: one was Abraham (xix. 46), and the other was Shu'aib (xi. 91). In neither case did the threats deter them from carrying out their mission. On the contrary the threats recoiled on those who threatened. So also did it happen in the case of Noah and the holy Prophet. (26.116)

29:57 - Every soul shall have a taste of death: in the end to Us shall ye be brought back. 3490

3490 Cf. iii. 185, n. 491, and xxi. 35 and n. 2697. Death is the separation of the soul from the body when the latter perishes. We should not be afraid of death, for it only brings us back to Allah. The various kinds of hijrat or exile, physical and spiritual, mentioned in the last note, are also modes of death in a sense: what is there to fear in them? (29.57)

37:58 - Is it (the case) that we shall not die

37:59 - Except our first death and that we shall not be punished?" 4070

4070 After he realises the great danger from which he narrowly escaped, his joy is so great that he can hardly believe it! Is the danger altogether past now? Are the portals of death closed for ever? Is he safe now from the temptations which will bring him to ruin and punishment? (37.59)

39:42 - It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death: and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death He keeps back (from returning to life) but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect. 4306 4307 4308 4309

4306 The mystery of life and death, sleep and dreams, is a fascinating enigma, of which the solution is perhaps beyond the ken of man. A vast mass of superstition as well as imaginative and psychological literature has grown up about it. But the simplest and truest religious doctrine is laid down here in a few words. In death we surrender our physical life, but our soul does not die; it goes back to a plane of existence in which it is more conscious of the realities of the spiritual world: "Allah takes the soul". (39.42)

4307 Cf. vi. 60. What is sleep? As far as animal life is concerned, it is the cessation of the working of the nervous system, though other animal functions, such as digestion, growth, and the circulation of the blood, continue, possibly at a different pace. It is the repose of the nervous system, and in this respect it is common to man and animals, and perhaps even to plants, if, as is probable, plants have a nervous system. The mental processes (and certainly volition) are also suspended in sleep, except that in ordinary dreams there is a medley of recollections, whichoften present vividly to our consciousness things that do not or cannot happen in nature as we know it in our coordinated minds. But there is another kind of dream which is rarer-one in which the dreamer sees things as they actually happen, backwards or forwards in time, or in which gifted individuals see spiritual truths otherwise imperceptible to them. How can we explain this? It is suggested that our soul or personality,-that something which is above our animal life-is then in a plane of spiritual existence akin to physical death (see last note), when we are nearer to Allah. In poetic imagery, Sleep is "twin-brother to Death". (39.42)

50:19 - And the stupor of death will bring truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" 4955

4955 What is stupor or unconsciousness to this probationary life will be the opening of the eyes to the next world: for Death is the Gateway between the two. Once through that Gateway man will realise how the things which he neglected or looked upon as remote are the intimate Realities, and the things which seemed to loom large in his eyes in this world were shadows that have fled. The things he wanted to avoid are the things that have really come to pass. Both Good and Evil will realise the Truth now in its intensity. (50.19)

53:44 - That it is He who Granteth Death and Life;

56:60 - We have decreed Death to be your common lot and We are not to be frustrated 5250

5250 Just as Allah has created this life that we see, so He has decreed that Death should be the common lot of all of us. Surely, if He can thus give life and death, as we see it, why should we refuse to believe that He can give us other forms when this life is over? The Future Life, though indicated by what we know now, is to be on a wholly different plane. (56.60)

62:6 - Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! if ye think that ye are friends to Allah to the exclusion of (other) men then express your desire for Death if ye are truthful!" 5458 5459

5458 Of Jewry is a very different thing from following the Law and Will of Allah. An arrogant claim to be a chosen people, to be the exclusive possessors of divine teaching, to be exempt from any punishment for breachcs of the divine law, (cf. ii. 88), is presumptuous blasphemy. It may be Judaism, but it is not in the spirit of Moses. (62.6)

5459 Cf. ii. 94-96. If they claimed to be special friends of Allah, why do they not eagerly desire death, which would bring them nearer to Allah? But of all people they are the most tenacious of this life and the good things of this life! And they know that their grasping selfish lives have run up a score of sin against them, which will meet its recompense. (62.6)

67:2 - He Who created Death and Life that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might Oft-Forgiving 5556 5557 5558

5556 "Created Death and Life." Death is here put before Life, and it is created. Death is therefore not merely a negative state. In ii. 28 we read: "Seeing that ye were without life (literally, dead), and He gave you life: then will He cause you to die, and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye retum." In liii. 44, again, Death is put before Life. Death, then, is (1) the state before life began, which may be non-existence or existence in some other form: (2) the state in which Life as we know it ceases, but existence does not cease; a state of Barzakh (xxiii. 100), or Barrier or Partition, after our visible Death and before Judgment; after that will be the new Life, which we conceive of under the term Eternity. (67.2)

5557 Creation, therefore, is not in mere sport, or without a purpose with reference to man. The state before our present life, or the state after, we can scarcely understand. But our present Life is clearly given to enable us to strive by good deeds to reach a nobler state. (67.2)

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 6.254 Narrated by
Abu Said Al Khudri

Allah's Apostle said, "On the Day of Resurrection Death will be brought forward in the shape of a black and white ram. Then a call maker will call, 'O people of Paradise!' Thereupon they will stretch their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is Death.' By then all of them will have seen it. Then it will be announced again, 'O people of Hell !' They will stretch their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is Death.' And by then all of them will have seen it. Then it (that ram) will be slaughtered and the caller will say, 'O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and no death. O people of Hell! Eternity for you and no death.' " Then the Prophet recited:

"And warn them of the Day of distress when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state of carelessness (i.e. the people of the world) and they do not believe." (19.39)

On That D A Y

The DAY:

3:106 - On the day when some faces will be (lit up with) white and some faces will be (in the gloom of) black; to those whose faces will be black (will be said): "Did ye reject faith after accepting it? Taste then the penalty for rejecting faith. 432

7:54 - Your guardian-Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days

11:98 –He will go before his people on the Day of Judgment and lead them into the Fire (as cattle are led to water): but woeful indeed will be this leading (and) the place led to! 1600

11:99 - And they are followed by a curse in this (life) and on the Day of Judgment: and woeful is the gift which shall be given (unto them)!

11:103 - In that is a Sign for those who fear the Penalty of the Hereafter: that is a Day for which mankind will be gathered together: that will be a Day of Testimony. 1604

11:105 - The day it arrives no soul shall speak except by His leave: of those (gathered) some will be wretched and some will be blessed. 1605 1606

14:42 - Verily from (the Light of) their Lord that Day will they be veiled. 6018

14:48 - One day the Earth will be changed to a different Earth and so will be the Heavens and (men) will be marshalled forth before Allah the One the Irresistible; 1925

14:49 - And thou wilt see the Sinners that day bound together in fetters 1926

17:12 - We have made the Night and the Day as two (of Our) Signs: the Sign of the Night have We obscured while the Sign of the day We have made to enlighten you; that ye may seek Bounty from your Lord and that ye may know the number and count of the years: all things have We explained in detail. 2185 2186

17:13 - Every man's fate We have fastened on his own neck: on the Day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll which he will see spread open. 2187 2188

17:14 - (It will be said to him:) "Read thine (own) record: sufficient is thy soul this day to make out an account against thee." 2189

20:108 - On that Day will they follow the Caller (straight): no crookedness (can they show) him: all sounds shall humble themselves in the presence of (Allah) Most Gracious: nothing shalt thou hear but the tramp of their feet (as they march). 2632 2633

20:109 - On that Day shall no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by (Allah) Most Gracious and whose word is acceptable to Him. 2634

22:47 - Yet they ask thee to hasten on the Punishment! But Allah will not fail in His promise. Verily a day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning. 2826

25:22 - The Day they see the angels no joy will there be to the sinners that Day: the (angels) will say: "There is a barrier forbidden (to you) altogether!" 3079

25:24 - The Companions of the Garden will be well that Day in their abode and have the fairest of places for repose. 3081

25:25 - The Day the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds and angels shall be sent down descending (in ranks) 3082

25:26 - That Day the dominion as of right and truth shall be (wholly) for (Allah) Most Merciful: it will be a day of dire difficulty for the Misbelievers. 3083

25:27 - The Day that the wrongdoer will bite at his hands He will say "Oh! would that I had taken a (straight) path with the Apostle! 3084

26:61 - Are (these two) alike? one to whom We have made a goodly promise and who is going to reach its (fulfillment) and one to whom we have given the good things of this life but who on the Day of Judgment is to be among those brought up (for punishment)? 3392

27:83 - One Day We shall gather together from every people a troop of those who reject Our Signs and they shall be kept in ranks

27:86 - See they not that We have made the Night for them to rest in and the Day to give them light? Verily in this are Signs for any people that believe! 3316

27:87 - And the Day that the Trumpet will be sounded then will be smitten with terror those who are in the heavens and those who are on earth except such as Allah will please (to exempt): and all shall come to His (Presence) as beings conscious of their lowliness. 3317

27:89- If any do good good will (accrue) to them therefrom; and they will be secure from terror that Day.

28:62 - That Day Allah will call to them and say: "Where are my `partners'? whom ye imagined)?"

3394 Cf. x. 28 False worship often names others, but really it is the worship of Self. The others whom they name will have nothing to do with them when the awful Penalty stands in the sight of both. Then each wrong-doer will have to look to his own case. The wicked will then realise the gravity of the situation and wish that they had accepted the true guidance of Allah's Messengers. (28.63)

3395 Now we come to the examination of those who rejected or persecuted Allah's Messengers on the earth. It may be the same men as those mentioned in xxviii. 62-64, but this is a different count in the charge. (28.65)

28:65 - That Day (Allah) will call to them and say: "What was the answer ye gave to the apostles?" 3395

28:66 - Then the (whole) story that day will seem obscure to them (like light to the blind) and they will not be able (even) to question each other.

3396 In their utter confusion and despair their minds will be blank. The past will seem to them unreal, and the present unintelligible, and they will not even be able to consult each other, as every one's state will be the same. (28.66)

28:72 - Say: see ye? If Allah were to make the Day perpetual over you to the Day of Judgment what god is there other than Allah who can give you a Night in which ye can rest? Will ye not then see? 3400

3400 In verse 71 was mentioned a "perpetual Night," for which the faculty of "hearkening" was appropriate, as all light was shut out. In this verse a perpetual Day is mentioned, for which the faculty of "seeing" is appropriate. Through many doors can the higher knowledge enter our souls. Shall we not use each of them as the occasion demands? (28.72)

30:12 - On the Day that the Hour will be established the guilty will be struck dumb with despair. 3518

30:14 - On the Day that the Hour will be established that Day shall (all men) be sorted out. 3520

30:55 - On the Day that the Hour (of reckoning) will be established the transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour: thus were they used to being deluded! 3573

30:56 - But those endued with knowledge and faith will say: "Indeed ye did tarry within Allah's Decree to the Day of Resurrection and this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye ye were not aware!" 3574

30:57 - So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail the Transgressors nor will they be invited (then) to seek grace (by repentance). 3575

31:33 - O mankind! do your duty to your Lord and fear (the coming of) a Day when no father can avail aught for his son nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily the promise of Allah is true: let not then this present life deceive you nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah. 3623 3624

32:5 - He rules (all) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will (all affairs) go up to Him on a Day the space whereof will be (as) a thousand years of your reckoning. 3634

34:30 - Say: "The appointment to you is for a day which ye cannot put back for an hour nor put forward." 3833

36:54 - Then on that Day not a soul will be wronged in the least and ye shall but be repaid the meeds of your past Deeds. 4000

36:55 - Verily the Companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do; 4001

36:59 - And O ye in sin! get ye apart this Day! 4005

40:16 - The Day whereon they will (all) come forth: Not a single thing concerning them is hidden from Allah. Whose will be the dominion that Day? That of Allah the One the Irresistible! 4379

40:17 - That Day will every soul be requited for what it earned; no injustice will there be that Day for Allah is Swift in taking account. 4380

40:18 - Warn them of the Day that is (ever) drawing near when the Hearts will (come) right up to the Throats to choke (them); no intimate friend nor intercessor will the wrongdoers have who could be listened to. 4381 4382

41:12 - So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days

44:40 - Verily the Day of Sorting Out is the time appointed for all of them 4718

44:41 - The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught and no help can they receive. 4719

45:27 - To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and the Day that the Hour of Judgment is established that Day will the dealers in Falsehood perish! 4765

45:28 - And thou wilt see every sect bowing the knee: every sect will be called to its Record: "This Day shall ye be recompensed for all that ye did! 4766

45:34 - It will also be said: "This Day We will forget you as ye forgot the meeting of this Day of yours! And your abode is the Fire and no helpers have ye! 4771

45:35 - "This because ye used to take the Signs of Allah in jest and the life of the world deceived you." (From) the Day therefore they shall not be taken out thence nor shall they be received into Grace. 4772

50:30 - One Day We will ask Hell "art thou filled to the full?" It will say "are there any more (to come)?" 4967

50:34 - "Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal Life!" 4971

52:9 - On the day when the firmament will be in dreadful commotion.

54:6 - Therefore (O Prophet) turn away from them. The day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair. 5132 5133

54:8 - Hastening with eyes transfixed towards the Caller! "Hard is this Day!" the Unbelievers will say.

56:50 - "All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day Well-known. 5246

57:12 - One Day shalt thou see the believing men and the believing women how their Light runs forward before them and by their right hands: (their greeting will be): "Good News for you this Day! Gardens beneath which flow rivers! To dwell therein for aye! this is indeed the highest Achievement!" 5288 5289

57:13 - One day will the Hypocrites men and women say to the Believers: "Wait for us! let us borrow (a light) from your Light!" It will be said: "turn ye back to your rear! then seek a light (where ye can)!" So a wall will be put up betwixt them with a gate therein. Within it will be Mercy throughout and without it all alongside will be (wrath and) Punishment! 5290 5291

62:9 - O ye who believe! when the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly) hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah and leave off business (and traffic): that is best for you if ye but knew! 5461 5462 5463

64:9 - The Day that He assembles you (all) for a day of Assembly that will be a day of mutual

loss and gain among you

68:42 - The Day that the shin shall be laid bare

70:4 - The angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years: 5677 5678

70:6 - They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event):

70:8 - The Day that the sky will be like molten brass 5681

70:11 - Though they will be put in sight of each other the sinner's desire will be: would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children 5684

73:14 - One Day the earth and the mountains will be in violent commotion and the mountains will be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down. 5766

75:1 - I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; 5809

75:6 - He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection?

75:10 - On that day man will cry: Whither to flee!

75:12 - Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day.

75:13 - On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind.

75:22 - On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind.

75:24 - And that day will other faces be despondent,

75:30 - That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!

77:12 - For what day is the time appointed?

77:13 - For the Day of Decision.

77:14 - And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is!

77:15 - Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

77:19 - Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

77:24 - Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

77:28 - Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

77:34 - Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

77:35 - This is a day wherein they speak not,

77:37 - Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

77:38 - This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together.

77:40 - Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

77:43 - (Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did.

77:45 - Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

77:46 - Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty.

77:47 - Woe unto the repudiators on that

77:48 - When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down!

77:49 - Woe unto the repudiators on that day

77:50 - In what statement, after this, will they believe?

78:11 - And made the day as means of subsistence? 5892

78:17- Verily the Day of Sorting Out is a thing appointed 5896

78:18 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded and ye shall come forth in crowds; 5897

78:38 - The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks

78:39 - That Day will be the sure Reality:

79:35 - The Day when Man shall remember (all) that he strove for 5942

80:34 - That Day shall a man flee from his own brother.

80:37 - Each one of them that Day will have enough concern (of his own) to make him

Making many prayers and salutations upon the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam during the night and the day of Jumu'ah

Aus ibn Aus reports that the Prophet said: "The most virtuous of your days is Jumu'ah. On that day, Adam was created and on that day he died, (on that day) the horn will be blown and the people will be dumbfounded! Increase your prayers upon me as your prayers upon me will be presented to me." The people said: "O Messenger of Allah, how will our prayers be presented to you when you have passed away?" He said: "Allah has prohibited the earth from eating the bodies of the Prophets." This is related by the five, except for at-Tirmidhi.(etc)

Tariq bin Shihab

A Jew said to 'Umar, "O Chief of the Believers, if this verse: 'This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favors upon you, and have chosen for you, Islam as your religion.' (5.3) had been revealed upon us, we would have taken that day as an 'Id (festival) day." 'Umar said, "I know definitely on what day this Verse was revealed; it was revealed on the day of 'Arafat, on a Friday."

Al-Muwatta Hadith
Hadith 18.55

Fasting The "Day of Doubt"

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard the people of knowledge telling people not to fast on the day in Shaban when there was doubt (about whether it was Shaban or Ramadan), if they intended by it the fast of Ramadan . They considered that whoever fasted on that day without having seen (the new moon) had to make up that day if it later became clear that it was part of Ramadan. They did not see any harm in voluntary fasting on that day.

Malik said, "This is what we do, and what I have seen the people of knowledge in our city doing."

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 1362 Narrated by
AbuHurayrah

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The promised day is the Day of Resurrection, the day which is witnessed is the day of Arafah, and the witness is Friday, on no more excellent day than which has the sun risen or sent. It contains a time at which no believing worshipper will supplicate Allah for what is good without Allah answering him, or seek refuge from something without His giving him refuge from it."

Ahmad and Tirmidhi transmitted it, the latter saying that this is a gharib tradition known only among the traditions of Musa ibn Ubaydah who is declared to be weak.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The wedding feast on the first day is a duty, that on the second is a good practice, but that on the third day is to make men hear of it and show it to them. Qatadah said: A man told me that Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab was invited (to a wedding feast on the first day and he accepted it. He was again invited on the second day, and he accepted. When he was invited on the third day, he did not accept; he said: They are the people who make men hear of it and show it to them.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 4.693 Narrated by
Abu Huraira

The Prophet said, "We are the last (to come) but we will be the foremost on the Day of Resurrection, nations were given the Book (i.e. Scripture) before us, and we were given the Holy Book after them. This (i.e. Friday) is the day about which they differed. So the next day (i.e. Saturday) was prescribed for the Jews and the day after it (i.e. Sunday) for the Christians. It is incumbent on every Muslim to wash his head and body on a Day (i.e. Friday) (at least) in every seven days."
