The answer

This hadith, in its entirety, is not found in the books of Hadith and Sunnah. It is narrated by the Shi'a, however, some of its parts have been reported separately in the books of Ahl al-Sunnah:

1. "Friday is the master of days": This has been reported in several authentic hadiths. 2. "Multiplication of good deeds on Friday": This is a fabricated hadith, its defect lies with Hamid ibn Adam. 3. "Expiation of sins": The five daily prayers and Friday prayer until the next Friday prayer are an expiation for what occurs between them, as long as major sins are not committed. And whoever attends Friday prayer, perfecting his purification and listening attentively, will have his sins expiated for what occurs between that Friday and the next, as long as he avoids destructive sins. 4. "Supplications are answered on Friday": There is a moment on it when no Muslim servant supplicates except that Allah grants him his request. 5. "The Day of Further Blessing (Yawm al-Mazeed)": Allah presents it to the Ummah to be an Eid for them, and it contains good and a moment when supplications are answered. 6. "On it, Allah frees and emancipates people from the Fire": This was narrated from Ad-Dahhak from Ibn Abbas, but it is weak. 7. "The virtue of dying on Friday or its night": Whoever dies on Friday or its night, Allah protects him from the trial of the grave.

Anything else from the wording of this hadith has not been found with a sound or weak chain of narration, and it is not permissible to attribute it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
