The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لِيَتَزَيَّنَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَغْتَسِلُ وَ يَتَطَيَّبُ وَ يَتَسَرَّحُ وَ يَلْبَسُ أَنْظَفَ ثِيَابِهِ وَ لْيَتَهَيَّأْ لِلْجُمُعَةِ وَ لْيَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمِ اَلسَّكِينَةُ وَ اَلْوَقَارُ وَ لْيُحْسِنْ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّهِ وَ لْيَفْعَلِ اَلْخَيْرَ مَا اِسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ يَطَّلِعُ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ لِيُضَاعِفَ اَلْحَسَنَاتِ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: 'Let each of you adorn himself on Jumu’ah; perform the ritual bath (ghusl), apply perfume, comb your hair, and wear your cleanest clothes. He should prepare for Jumu’ah and embody tranquility and dignity on that day. He should enhance worship your Lord عز وجل excellently and do as much good as you can, for surely Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, looks upon the earth to multiply the good deeds (on Jumu’ah)."
