Narrated Abu Huraira:
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."
