Friday Prayer - Volume 2, Book 13, Number 6 :
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah's cause); and whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts delivering the Khutba), the angels present themselves to listen to the Khutba."

According to my knowledge, the article discusses the importance of Friday prayer and the recommended practices for Muslims on this day. It highlights that Friday is the best day of the week, and Muslims are encouraged to go to the mosque early and wear their best clothes to gain Allah's reward.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the significance of Friday by stating that it is the day on which Adam was created, entered paradise, and was expelled from it. He also mentioned that the Hour will come to pass on Friday.
The article also mentions that taking a bath (ghusl) before attending Friday prayer is a recommended sunnah, although it is not obligatory. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "When one of you goes to Jumu`ah let him take a bath." This is supported by several hadiths, including one narrated by Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri, where the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Ghusl (taking a bath) on Friday is compulsory for every Muslim reaching the age of puberty."
Additionally, the article suggests that Muslims should perform ghusl starting from the time of Fajr Prayer and that one ghusl can be used for both removing sexual defilement and attending Friday prayer.
In summary, the article emphasizes the importance of Friday prayer and encourages Muslims to take a bath, wear their best clothes, and use perfume as a way to show respect for this blessed day.
