What does this hadith regarding garments and Friday prayers mean?

04/21/2024 Published by

I came across this hadith, and would like to know what is meant by this hadith, insha’Allah, as I do not understand.

Narrated Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: What is the harm if any of you has two garments, if he can provide them, for Friday (prayer) in addition to the two garments for his daily work?

Sunan Abi Dawud 1078

Its not obligatory but a recommended sunnah if you have means for doing it. The hadith explains that theres no harm and its better if someone wears an additional or keeps a separate special dress/attire for Friday prayer other than wearing the same attire he uses at work or day to day clothes he wears. Providing if he is able to have a separate attire. This focuses on looking neat and clean and prepared in front of Allah in salah. There are more sunnah than this that a person should try to practice following when going for friday prayer.
