Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26657

Ishaq bin Musa Al-Ansari narrated to us, Ma’an narrated to us, Malik narrated to us, on the authority of Summa, on the authority of Abu Salih, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him And he said: “Whoever takes a bath on Friday has done the ritual bath of ritual impurity and then goes, it is as if he had sacrificed an animal, and whoever goes in the second hour.” It is as if he sacrificed a cow, and whoever goes at the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a horned ram, and whoever goes at the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a hen. And whoever departs at the fifth hour, it is as if he had sacrificed an egg. When the imam comes out, the angels are present, listening to the remembrance.” He said, and on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr and Samurah. Abu Issa said the hadith of Abu Hurairah is a good and authentic hadith.
