Closeness to Allaah According to Punctuality

It is reported in Sunnan Ibn Maajah on the authority of Ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be Pleased with him) that the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“On the Day of Judgement, people will be seated in rows according to their punctuality on the Day of al-Jumu’ah. So the the early comer will be at the front, then those after him and then those after him.”

(Ibn Maajah, 1094 but classed as weak by al-Albaanee)

This narration is supported by what was reported by at-Tabaraanee in al-Kabeer that Ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be Pleased with him) said:

Hasten to be early for al-Jumu’ah, because on that day Allaah -the Glorified and the Exalted- presents the people who hasten to al-Jumu’ah to the people of al-Jannah, as if they were a perfumed garment. So those who attend the earliest will be the closest of those presented to them.

Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah stated after presenting the various routes for this narration, ”There is no way Ibn Mas’ood knew this information except that the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him) informed him of it.”


[Al-Fatawaa 6-405/406]
