أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْجُلاَحِ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ سَاعَةً لاَ يُوجَدُ فِيهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا إِلاَّ آتَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا آخِرَ سَاعَةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ " .
Jabir bin `Abdullah Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Friday is twelve hours in which there is no Muslim slave who asks Allah (SWT) for something but He will give it to him, so seek it in the last hour after 'Asr."

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 1389
This hadith about dua on Friday gives clear guidance about seeking a special time during the day of Jumu'ah. The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said that Friday has twelve hours, and within it there is a time when a Muslim slave asks Allah for something and Allah gives it to him. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم then directed people to seek that time in the last hour after Asr. The wording teaches hope, effort, and attention to the day of Friday. It does not say to ignore the rest of the day, but it points to a specific time to seek. For anyone searching for the Friday dua accepted time hadith, this narration directly mentions the last hour after Asr.
What we learn from this hadith
- Friday includes a special time for making dua.
- The hadith points to the last hour after Asr as a time to seek.
- A Muslim should ask Allah directly for needs.
- The day of Jumu'ah should include prayerful attention, not only attendance.
