Chapter 7 · Establishing the Prayer and the Sunnah Regarding Themحَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، فَوَجَدَ ثَلَاثَةً وَقَدْ سَبَقُوهُ، فَقَالَ: رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ، وَمَا رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ بِبَعِيدٍ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَجْلِسُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى قَدْرِ رَوَاحِهِمْ إِلَى الْجُمُعَاتِ، الْأَوَّلَ وَالثَّانِيَ وَالثَّالِثَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ، وَمَا رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ بِبَعِيدٍ .

“I went out with ‘Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ to Friday (prayer), and he found three men who arrived before him. He said: ‘The fourth of four, and the fourth of four is not far away. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “On the Day of Resurrection people will gather near Allah according to how early they came to Friday (prayer), the first, second, and third.’” Then he said: ‘The fourth of four, and the fourth of four is not far away.’”
