Some friends of Zubri reported from him that he said : One of the children of Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) told me on the authority of Ibn Umar that once Umar ibn Khattab (RA) was delivering the Friday sermon whea sahabi came in. He (Umar-) asked, “Is this the time (to come)?” He said, “I heard the adhan and only performed ablution. I did not take much time.’ Sayyidina Umar said, “More of that! Instead of bath, you performed ablution (coupled with being late). And you know that Allah’s Messenger has commanded us to have a bath.”
