English Translation

Abu al-Nadr told us, Mubarak -- meaning Ibn Fadalah -- told us, Abu Ghalib told me, from Abu Umamah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The angels sit on the day of Jumu'ah at the doors of the mosque, with them the pages, recording the people; then when the imam comes out, the pages are folded up." I said, "O Abu Umamah, does one who comes after the imam has come out have no reward of Jumu'ah?" He said: "Yes, he still has Jumu'ah, but he is not among those recorded in the pages."
