The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The sun does not rise nor set on any day better than Friday. There is no creature that does not tremble in awe of the Day of Jumuah, except for these two heavy ones, the jinn and humankind. Over every person are two angels who record those who arrive earliest, in order. The first is like one who offers a camel as sacrifice, the next like one who offers a cow, then one who offers a sheep, then one who offers a bird, then one who offers an egg. When the imam sits down, the pages are folded up."
أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: لا تطلع الشمس بيوم ولا تغرب بأفضل من يوم الجمعة. وما من دابة إلا وهي تفزع ليوم الجمعة إلا هذان الثقلان من الجن والإنس. وعلى كل إنسان ملكان يكتبان الأول فالأول: كرجل قدم بدنة، وكرجل قدم بقرة، وكرجل قدم شاة، وكرجل قدم طيرا، وكرجل قدم بيضة، فإذا قعد الإمام طويت الصحف.
Reported by Ahmad (9896), Ibn Khuzayma (1727), and Ibn Majah (2770), all from the hadith of Ala bin Abdul-Rahman, narrating from his father, from Abu Hurairah, and he mentioned it. The wording is that of Ahmad. Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Ala bin Abdul-Rahman, for there is disagreement about him, though his hadith is hasan.
