SubhanAllah, the rewards for Jumu’ah Prayers are immense.
If you take a bath of Janaba, then attend the Jumu’ah prayer(in the first hour) early, its as if you have sacrificed a camel in Allah’s cause.
And there are rewards for attending in the second hour and so on until the Imam comes out to deliver the Khutba.
This is why it is important to turn up early for the Jumu’ah prayer!
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (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.”
