وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ - عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " إِنَّ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ لَسَاعَةً لا يُوَافِقُهَا مُسْلِمٌ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا خَيْرًا إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ " . قَالَ وَهِيَ سَاعَةٌ خَفِيفَةٌ

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 852e
This Hadith speaks directly about the special time on Friday. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said there is a time on Jumu'ah when no Muslim asks Allah for what is good except that Allah gives it to him. The wording also says this is a very short time. That teaches a simple but powerful habit: do not let Friday pass with a careless heart. A person searching for the accepted dua time on Friday will find the core meaning here. The Hadith does not name an exact clock time in this wording. It only tells us that the time exists, it is brief, and it is linked with asking Allah for good. So Friday should include humble dua, hope, and attention.
What we learn from this hadith
- Friday includes a special time for asking Allah for good.
- The time is described as brief, so a believer should not be careless.
- The request mentioned in the Hadith is for what is good.
