وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ، - يَعْنِي الْحِزَامِيَّ - عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَفِيهِ أُخْرِجَ مِنْهَا وَلاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلاَّ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ " .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 854b
This Hadith gives a strong picture of the special status of Friday. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم called Friday the best day on which the sun has risen. The report says Adam was created on Friday, entered Paradise on Friday, and was expelled from it on Friday. It also adds that the Last Hour will take place on no day other than Friday. This is why people search for Friday virtue hadith, best day in Islam hadith, and Last Hour on Friday hadith. The wording is focused and does not describe the details of the Last Hour. It simply connects Friday with great events. The lesson is to see Jumu'ah as a day with weight, memory, and a serious reminder of the Hereafter.
What we learn from this hadith
- Friday is named as the best day on which the sun has risen.
- The Hadith links Friday with Adam and the Last Hour.
- The report gives believers a serious reminder about the Hereafter.
