Supplication and Prescribed Deeds on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a specific supplication a Muslim recites on Friday? Is there anything reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this?
Answer:
What is reported regarding Friday and its night is to increase in sending prayers and blessings upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is also reported to recite Surat al-Kahf on Friday. Furthermore, it is prescribed to arrive early for the Friday prayer, to sit in the mosque waiting for the prayer, and to engage in the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). If a person takes a full ritual bath with the intention of performing the recommended practice, because taking a bath on Friday is a recommended practice, and then he goes early, walks without riding, and sits waiting for the Friday prayer, it is reported that he will be forgiven for the period from one Friday to the next, plus three days. This is because one good deed is rewarded ten times over, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 564. Yes.

The five [daily] prayers, Friday to Friday and Ramadan to Ramadan make atonement for what has happened since the previous one when major sins have been avoided
الخمس، والجمعة إلى الجمعة، ورمضان إلى رمضان، كفارة لما بينهن إذا اجتنبت الكبائر
