1.

Angel From Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri, who said: “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the night of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (the Ka’bah).”
(Narrated by al-Daarimi, 3407. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami, 6471)

(b) “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next.”
(Narrated by al-Haakim, 2/399; al-Bayhaqi, 3/249. Ibn Hajar said in Takhreej al-Adhkaar that this is a hasan hadeeth, and he said, this is the strongest report that has been narrated concerning reading Soorat al-Kahf. See: Fayd al-Qadeer, 6/198. It was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6470)

(c) It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, a light will shine for him from beneath his feet to the clouds of the sky, which will shine for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will be forgiven (his sins) between the two Fridays.’”

Al-Mundhiri said, this was narrated by Abu Bakr ibn Mardawayh in his Tafseer, with an isnaad with which there was nothing wrong.

(al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheeb, 1/298)

2.

Narrated Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu): Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)
talked about Friday and said: ‘There is an hour on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat (prayer) and asks something from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), then Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) will definitely meet his demand.’ And he (the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands.
[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Some have said that this hour is from the time the Imam (prayer’s leader) enters the mosque on Friday’s prayer until the prayer is over (ie between the two khutbahs), whereas others have said that it is thelast hour of the day (ie after the Asr prayer until the
Maghrib prayer).
(Note: when we say an hour here we do not mean the hour everyone knows (60 minutes)but an unspecified period of time because the time counters which we use today came after the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) Had died.

from this

note: i didnt know the clock was invented much later!

another thing worth mentioning about yawmul-Jumu'ah

"Shaddad bin Aws (upon him be peace) reported that the Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) said: 'The most excellent day is the day of Friday. Adam was created on that (day) and on it the Trumpet will be blown and on it will (the people) lose their senses. So invoke blessings on me abundantly on that (day) for your blessings are presented to me'. Upon this, a man asked: 'Allah's Messenger, how are our blessings presented to you while you will decay?' The Prophet (peace & blessings be upon him) replied: 'Certainly Allah has made it unlawful for the earth to eat the bodies of the Prophets." [Ibn Majah, ch. 79 (1: 345 # 1085) & ch. 65 (1: 524 # 1636); Abu Dawud, Book of Salah 1: 275 (# 1047)].

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
