Question 167) - Are there Sunan before and after Jumu'ah?

A: Yes. there are 4 Rak'at before and 4 after. (The 4 afterwards are based on Muslim's narration from Abu Hurayrah RA who narrated that Rasulullaah SAW said, "When you pray after Jumu'ah, pray 4." A group other than al-Bukhari narrates that Rasululllah SAW said, "When one of you prays Jumu'ah he must pray four afterwards." The first indicates Istihbab and the second Wujub. We have therefore combined the two as Sunnah Muakkadah. As for the four before, it is due to the Consistency Of Rasulullaah ~ on the four after Zawal which includes Jumu'ah as well.

I say that Muslim has narrated that Abu Hurayra RA narrated that Rasulullaah SAW said, the who makes Ghusl then comes for Jumu'ah and prays what has been set for him and then remains silent until the Khutbah is Completed and then prays with those with him is forgiven of his sins from that Jumu'ah until the other and the three days extra.?

That is according to Imaam Abu Hanifa RA. According to Imaam Abu Yusuf RA the Sunnah is 6 after Jumu'ah.
