What is the meaning of the hadith and what is its authenticity?

The questioner : The female listener is also asking about this question and its degree of authenticity. From 'Abdullah ibn Qatadah, who said: My father came in to me while I was taking a bath on Friday and said: Is this bath of yours for major ritual impurity or for Friday? I said: For major ritual impurity. He said: Repeat the bath, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Al-Tabarani narrated it in "al-Awsat"?

The Shaykh : Yes. I do not recall the ruling on this hadith right now, whether it is authentic or not. However, the Friday bath is very emphasized; in fact, it is obligatory according to the stronger opinion in my view. It is obligatory for whoever attends the Friday prayer. The evidence for this is the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And when 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) entered on Friday while the Commander of the Faithful, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, was delivering the sermon, it seemed as if he was reprimanding him for his delay, so he said: "By Allah, I did not do more than perform ablution and then come" So he said: "And ablution as well" And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He said this while he was delivering the sermon to the people, and it seemed as if he (may Allah be pleased with him) considered this a necessary matter. It is well known that if we found in the book of the author that the Friday bath is obligatory, we would understand from it only the obligation that makes a person sinful for leaving it. How much more so when the most eloquent of creation, the most sincere of creation, and the most knowledgeable of creation says: Then he emphasizes this by mentioning a description suitable for obligation and compulsion, which is his saying: meaning every adult. There is nothing to contradict this hadith except the hadith of Samurah about which there is disagreement: There is something in the heart regarding this hadith. First, due to the disagreement among scholars regarding al-Hasan's hearing from Samurah, either absolutely or in matters other than the hadith of the 'Aqiqah. Second, the verbal composition in it is not like the usual composition of the speech of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because it is well known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most eloquent of the Arabs, and the context of this hadith has something of awkwardness, so there is something in the heart about it. If that is the case, then it should not be used to contradict the explicit, authentic, and clear hadith: And since it is well known among the people of knowledge that the original ruling for a command is obligation, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) confirmed this obligation in his saying there is no way to avoid acting upon it. If the Friday bath and the bath for major ritual impurity coincide for a person, there is no harm in intending both with one bath, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Just as if a person enters the mosque and prays the obligatory prayer, it suffices for the greeting of the mosque. Some people of knowledge said that one must first take a bath for major ritual impurity and then take a second bath for Friday. But the first opinion is more preferable, which is to suffice with one bath for both major ritual impurity and the Friday bath, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): If he intends this bath for both of them, they are achieved. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you. In a question from the female listener, she says.
