Section: It is recommended to frequently invoke blessings upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on Friday, because it is reported from Abu al-Darda' who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Frequently invoke blessings upon me on Friday, for it is witnessed and the angels witness it." Recorded by Ibn Majah (48). And from Aws ibn Aws who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The best of your days is Friday; in it Adam was created, in it he was taken (in death), in it the Trumpet will be blown, and in it the thunderous blast will occur. So frequently invoke blessings upon me in it, for your blessings are presented to me." They said: O Messenger of Allah, how will our blessings be presented to you when you have decayed—meaning, decomposed? He said: "Indeed, Allah the Almighty has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets (peace be upon them)." Recorded by Abu Dawud (49).
Section: It is recommended to recite Surat al-Kahf on Friday, because it is reported from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever recites al-Kahf on Friday is immune to every trial for eight days, and if the Dajjal emerges, he will be immune to him." Recorded by Zaydun ibn Ali (50) in his book with his chain of narration (51). And from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, that he said: Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday [it will shine with light for him between him and the Ancient House (the Kaaba). And Khalid ibn Ma'dan (52) said: Whoever recites Surat al-Kahf on Friday] (53) before the Imam comes out, it will be for him an expiation for what is between him and the (following) Friday, and its light will reach the Ancient House.
