Summary
This hadith from Abu Umamah RA is narrated by al-Tabarani and al-Hakim among others, and al-Albani graded it hasan sahih. It means that whoever goes to the mosque solely to learn or teach goodness receives a reward like that of a complete Hajj. The ruling states that listening to the Friday sermon is also included. However, seeking knowledge through study circles or knowledge gatherings in the mosque is more virtuous, since the sermon mainly serves as a reminder and its time is limited.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, kami katakan bahawa mendengar khutbah Jumaat juga termasuk.
