The Book of Jumu'ah, the Two Festivals, the Prayer for Rain, the Eclipse Prayer, and Funerals-01a

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And 'Amr ibn Yakhlu al-'Amri narrated to us, and 'Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us, and 'Amr ibn al-Harith informed us that Sa'id ibn Abi Hilaal and Bakir ibn al-Ashaj narrated to them from Abu Bakr ibn al-Munkadir from 'Amr ibn Sulaym from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Sa'id al-Khudri from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Bathing on Friday for every adult, using of Miswak and applying some perfume, that is available غسل يوم الجمعة على كل محتلم وسواك ويمس من الطيب ما قدر عليه
Sahih Muslim 846b
except that Bakir did not mention 'Abd al-Rahman, and he said regarding the perfume: 'even if it is from a woman's perfume'

The Shaykh : This also emphasizes the importance of perfume and the siwak on Friday. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) loved perfume and always used it, to the extent that when he passed through the market, people would know he had passed by them because of his fragrance (peace and blessings be upon him). This is part of the wisdom of Allah (Mighty and Majestic),
The good things are for the good people الطيبات للطيبين
but the perfume for Friday is more specific and important. A person should use perfume every Friday if he intends to attend the prayer after performing ghusl, and he should also use the siwak. As mentioned earlier regarding the siwak, it appears that this siwak is more specific than the usual siwak.
His statement:
And the siwakوسواك
is conjoined to "ghusl," and "to use" is conjoined to "ghusl." Therefore, according to the rules of grammar, it should be in the accusative case: "and to use whatever amount of perfume one can afford," because when a present-tense verb is conjoined to an explicit noun, it is put in the accusative case.
"And if a verb is conjoined to a pure noun, *** make it accusative, whether 'an' is present or absent"
In our text, it is with a dammah (vowel). If the narration is with a dammah, we follow the narration and say that this is from the transmission of the narrators. It is stated thus in all the original texts: "The ghusl of Friday." It is permissible to open the mīm or close it: "yamas" or "yamus," but he did not discuss the grammatical case of it.
