The Shaykh : Those who said that the Friday bath is obligatory said: No one is more eloquent than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Is this accepted by Muslims and non-Muslims alike? It is accepted. No one is more sincere in advising the servants of Allah than the Messenger of Allah. Is this accepted? It is accepted. No one is more knowledgeable about His intent and the rulings of Allah than the Messenger of Allah.

He attached this ruling to a description that implies what? Obligation. What is the description that implies obligation? His saying “upon every person who has reached puberty,” and the person who has reached puberty is the one who has attained maturity.
