Is there a pre-Friday sunnah? With the Shaykh’s note on the innovation of the first adhan on Friday.

The questioner : Regarding the Friday prayer, the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan. Naturally, you come and pray two rak'ahs, the sunnah of Friday... After the mu'adhdhin calls, does he stand up? Is that permissible or not?

The Shaykh : Is it permissible? What is it?

The questioner : The two rak'ahs... there is no... You find him praying two rak'ahs, the sunnah...

The Shaykh : There is no Friday sunnah, my brother. This Friday sunnah known today by many people has no basis in the Sunnah. Why? I will narrate to you a hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari, the most authentic book after the Book of Allah, with its authentic chain, from al-Sa'ib ibn Yazid, who said: "The adhan in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was only the first adhan. When the Messenger (peace be upon him) ascended the minbar, the mu'adhdhin would call the adhan. When the mu'adhdhin finished the adhan, the Messenger (peace be upon him) would stand to deliver the khutbah. There was no place for the pre-Friday sunnah prayer." The hadith has a continuation, and if Allah wills, we will come to it soon. This Friday sunnah is something the Muslim must maintain:
First: hastening to go to the mosque. Do not sit. Pray the greeting of the mosque. Hastening to arrive at the mosque, the earlier you are, the better. This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever goes in the first hour is as if he offered a camel" . A badnah means a camel. ومن راح في الساعة الثانية فكأنما قَرَّبَ بقرة , ومن راح في الساعة الثالثة فكأنما قَرَّبَ كبشاً , ومن راح في الساعة الرابعة فكأنما قَرَّبَ دجاجة , ومن راح في الساعة الخامسة فكأنما قَرَّبَ بيضة ثم تطوى الصحف Then the one who comes in the second hour, it is as if he sacrificed a cow. Then the one who comes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a ram. Then the one who comes in the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a chicken. Then the one who comes in the fifth hour, it is as if he sacrificed an egg.Sunan an-Nasa'i 1388 So the earlier you are, the better. Whether you enter the mosque early or late, you pray whatever is easy for you: two, four, six, or eight rak'ahs, without counting. Because this is called: nafilah, not a sunnah that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) specified in his mind. No. And therefore he (peace be upon him) said in the authentic hadith: من غسل يوم الجمعة وغسل وبكر وابتكر ثم صلى ما بدا له ثم دنا من الإمام واستمع إلا غُفِرَ له ما بينه وبين الجمعة التي تليها Whoever bathes on Friday, and bathes and hastens and is the first to arrive, then prays whatever he desires, then draws near to the imam and listens, except that he is forgiven for what is between him and the next Friday.. So the one who enters the mosque on Friday prays whatever he desires, according to his energy and his time. As for what happens today, it has absolutely no basis in the Sunnah, not at all. How did this happen with two adhans? In the time of 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, Madinah expanded in population. When the Messenger (peace be upon him) first migrated to Madinah, it was like a village, naturally. Islam spread, and the Companions began to come and settle there, little by little. In the time of 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), meaning during his caliphate, Madinah became, by the will of Allah, a town, the capital of the Islamic state. So he had an idea, and what a good idea, considering that even today, as you know, Friday prayer is not performed except in the Prophet's Mosque. And the matter was the same in the time of the Messenger, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Uthman. But because of the expansion of the buildings in Madinah, the people outside the city and in a market called al-Zuraa' could not hear the adhan in the Prophet's Mosque. So he established an adhan there. Let us call this the second adhan. But in reality, it is a second adhan, considering that the first adhan is the one brought by the Messenger (peace be upon him). This is called the second adhan because 'Uthman brought it after the first. But he did not bring it except to let the people in the market know that the Friday prayer has arrived: "Hasten to prayer." Where did 'Uthman place the second adhan? In the market, in a place known in the books of hadith as al-Zuraa'. The matter continued this way until the time of al-Hisham ibn 'Abd al-Malik, the Umayyad. He decided to move the adhan from al-Zuraa' to the mosque. From that day, the situation changed. And with time, a gap opened between the two adhans, which people filled with what they call the pre-Friday sunnah. And the pre-Friday sunnah has no place in grammar, as the grammarians say, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), in his time, as we told you in Sahih al-Bukhari, used to come out of his house, ascend the minbar, Bilal would call the adhan, and when Bilal finished the adhan, he would begin the khutbah. So there was no place for the sunnah prayer of two rak'ahs, let alone four rak'ahs. This is the way for the one who comes to the mosque on Friday: to pray whatever he desires. And when the imam ascends, he listens, and that is all.
