وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مُصَلِّيًا بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيُصَلِّ أَرْبَعًا " . وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ " مِنْكُمْ " .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 881c
This narration on prayer after Jumu'a repeats the instruction reported from Abu Huraira: whoever among you prays after Jumu'a should pray four rak'ahs. It also notes a small wording difference in one transmitted version, where the word minkum is not recorded. The main meaning remains focused on the four rak'ahs after Friday prayer. For readers, this hadith is useful because it shows the same teaching preserved through more than one route, with careful attention to wording. It should not be stretched into details not mentioned here, such as the full list of Friday manners. Its direct topic is the prayer performed after Jumu'a.
What we learn from this hadith
- The hadith mentions four rak'ahs after Jumu'a.
- The narration records a wording detail between transmitters.
- The teaching is about post-Jumu'a prayer, not a broad list of Friday practices.
