سنن نسائی · Hadith 1390
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “When Friday comes, the angels sit at the doors of the Masjid and record who comes to Jumu’ah prayers. Then, when the Imam comes out, the angels roll up their scrolls.” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “The one who comes early to Jumu ‘ah prayers is like one who sacrifices a camel, then like one who sacrifices a cow, then like one who sacrifices a sheep, then like one who sacrifices a duck, then like one who sacrifices a chicken, then like one who sacrifices an egg.” (Sahih)
