Hadith text

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:We used to be very happy on Friday as an old lady used to cut some roots of the Silq, which we used to plant on the banks of our small water streams, and cook them in a pot of her's, adding to them, some grains of barley. (Ya'qub, the sub-narrator said, "I think the narrator mentioned that the food did not contain fat or melted fat (taken from meat).") When we offered the Friday prayer we would go to her and she would serve us with the dish. So, we used to be happy on Fridays because of that. We used not to take our meals or the midday nap except after the Jumua prayer (i.e. Friday prayer)

Sahl bin Sa'd (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Hum Jumme ko bahut khush hote the, kyunke ek budhi aurat Silq (ek sabzi) ki kuch jaden katti jinhe hum apne paani ke chhote nalon ke kinare bote the, aur unhe apne bartan mein pakati, thoda jau ke daane dalti. (Ya'qub, doosre raawi ne kaha: "Mujhe lagta hai raawi ne kaha khaane mein ghee ya gala hua ghee nahi tha.") Jab hum Jumme ki namaz padh le, hum uske paas jate aur woh humein khaana khilati. Isliye hum Jumme ko iski wajah se khush hote the. Hum apna khaana ya dopahar ki neend Jumme ki namaz ke baad hi lete the.
