Mishkat al-Masabih #1291
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ سُمِّيَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ قَالَ: «لِأَنَّ فِيهَا طُبِعَتْ طِينَةُ أَبِيكَ آدَمَ وَفِيهَا الصَّعْقَةُ وَالْبَعْثَةُ وَفِيهَا الْبَطْشَةُ وَفِي آخِرِ ثَلَاثِ سَاعَاتٍ مِنْهَا سَاعَةٌ مَنْ دَعَا الله فِيهَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
Abu Huraira said that when the Prophet was asked for what reason Friday got its name he replied, "Because on it the nature of your father Adam was fashioned, on it will take place the shout and the resurrection of the dead, on it the assault* will take place, and at the end of three hours in it there is a time at which anyone who makes supplication to God will be answered."
* cf. Al-Qur’an, 44:16.
Ahmad transmitted it.
