Forgiven from Friday to Friday

Ghusl, perfume, coming quietly and listening to the khutbah forgive the week's sins.

Narrated by Salman al-Farisi

No man takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, oils his hair or uses perfume from his house, then goes out and does not separate two people, then prays what was written for him, then listens quietly when the imam speaks, except that his sins between that Friday and the next will be forgiven.

Sahih al-Bukhari 883

The hadith in Arabic نص الحديث

لاَ يَغْتَسِلُ رَجُلٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَيَتَطَهَّرُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْ طُهْرٍ، وَيَدَّهِنُ مِنْ دُهْنِهِ، أَوْ يَمَسُّ مِنْ طِيبِ بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ، فَلاَ يُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ يُنْصِتُ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ الإِمَامُ، إِلاَّ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الأُخْرَى
