حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَدَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِمَ تَحْتَبِسُونَ عَنْ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ سَمِعْتُ النِّدَاءَ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْتُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَأَيْضًا أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا رَاحَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 319
Abu Hurairah said: Whilst 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) was delivering a khutbah, a man came and sat down. 'Umar said: Why are you coming late to Jumu'ah ? The man said: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, as soon as I heard the call I did wudoo', then I came. 'Umar (RA) said: Only wudoo ? Didn't you hear the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "When one of you goes to Jumu'ah, let him doghusl"?
