I set out for Mount Tur, where I met Kaab al-Ahbar, and I sat with him. He related to me from the Torah, and I related to him from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Among the things I told him was that I said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best day upon which the sun rises is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he was sent down from Paradise, on it his repentance was accepted, on it he died, and on it the Hour will arrive. There is no creature that does not listen attentively on Friday morning, from daybreak until the sun rises, out of fear of the Hour, except for jinn and humans..." And the hadith continues.
خرجت إلى الطور، فلقيت كعب الأحبار، فجلست معه، فحدثني عن التوراة، وحدثته عن رسول ﷺ، فكان فيما حدثته، أن قلت: قال رسول الله ﷺ: خير يوم عليه الشمس يوم الجمعة، فيه خلق آدم، وفيه أهبط من الجنة، وفيه تيب عليه، وفيه مات، وفيه تقوم الساعة. وما من دابة إلا وهي مصيخة يوم طلعت الجمعة، من حين تصبح حتى تطلع الشمس شفقا من الساعة. إلا الجن والإنس… الحديث.
Malik narrated it in Jumuah (16) from Yazid bin Abdullah bin Had, from Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Harith Taymi, from Abu Salama bin Abdul-Rahman bin Awf, from Abu Hurairah, who related it. Abu Dawud (1046) and Tirmidhi (491) also narrated it, and Ibn Hibban (2772) and Hakim (1/178) graded it sahih, all of them through the route of Malik with the same wording. Its isnad is sahih.Hakim said, "This is a sahih hadith according to the criterion of the two Shaykhs, though they did not include it."The discussion of this has been detailed in the chapter on Jumuah. His saying, "listening" means attentive and heedful, anticipating the coming of the Hour.
