Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجُعْفِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ أَيَّامِكُمْ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ قُبِضَ وَفِيهِ النَّفْخَةُ وَفِيهِ الصَّعْقَةُ فَأَكْثِرُوا عَلَيَّ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعْرُوضَةٌ عَلَيَّ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ تُعْرَضُ عَلَيْكَ صَلَاتُنَا وَقَدْ أَرِمْتَ يَعْنِي وَقَدْ بَلِيتَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ أَجْسَادَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ.
English Translation
He said, Husayn ibn Ali al-Ju'fi told us, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid ibn Jabir, from Abu al-Ash'ath al-San'ani, from Aws ibn Aws, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Among the best of your days is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he died, on it is the Blowing of the Trumpet, and on it is the Thunderous Blast. So increase your invocations of blessing upon me on that day, for your invocations of blessing are presented to me.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how will our invocations of blessing be presented to you when you have decayed' — meaning when you have decomposed? He said, 'Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the prophets, the blessings of Allah be upon them.'
