Sahl bin Saad said, "We used to rejoice on Fridays."I asked, "Why?"He replied, "We had an elderly woman who would send for some beets from Budaah." Ibn Muslim said, "Budaah is a palm grove in Medina." "She would take the roots of the beets and put them in a pot, then grind some barley grains and add them. When we had prayed the Friday prayer, we would leave and go greet her, and she would serve it to us. We rejoiced because of it. We did not take our midday nap or eat lunch until after the Friday prayer."
كنا نفرح يوم الجمعة، قلت: ولم؟ قال: كانت لنا عجوز، ترسل إلى بضاعة-قال ابن مسلمة: نخل بالمدينة- فتأخذ من أصول السلق، فتطرحه في قدر، وتكركر حبات من شعير، فإذا صلينا الجمعة انصرفنا، ونسلم عليها، فتقدمه إلينا، فنفرح من أجله، وما كنا نقيل ولا نتغدى إلا بعد الجمعة.
Bukhari related it in "The Book of Seeking Permission" (6248) from Abdullah bin Maslama, who said, Ibn Abu Hazim narrated to us, from his father, from Sahl, who said, then he mentioned it.Muslim related it in "The Book of Friday" (859) from Abdullah bin Maslama, from Abdul-Aziz bin Abu Hazim, with the same chain, but limited to the statement, "We would not take our midday rest or eat our midday meal except after Friday prayer."
