Arabic Text
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 ال
نَّفْخَةُ 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
Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī al-Juʿfī narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yazīd ibn Jābir, from Abū al-Ashʿath al-Ṣanʿānī, from Aws ibn Aws who said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Among the best of your days is Friday. On it Ādam was created, on it he passed away, on it is the Blast, and on it is the Swooning. So send abundant prayers upon me on it, for your prayers are presented to me.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, how will our prayers be presented to you when you have decomposed?' — meaning, when you have decayed. He said: 'Allāh عز وجل has forbidden the earth from consuming the bodies of the Prophet ﷺs, may the prayers of Allāh be upon them.'
