The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَفِيهِ أُخْرِجَ مِنْهَا ( وَفِيهِ أُهْبِطَ وَفِيهِ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ وَفِيهِ مَاتَ ) وَلاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلاَّ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ
The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he was admitted into Paradise, on it he was expelled from it, on it he was sent down (to Earth), on it he was forgiven, on it he died. And the last hour will take place on no other day except Friday.
(Sahīh Muslim 854. Abū Dawūd 1046, declared Sahīh by Al-Albānī)
He صلى الله عليه وسلم also said:
وَخَلَقَ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي آخِرِ الْخَلْقِ وَفِي آخِرِ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ سَاعَاتِ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ
(Allāh) created Ādam (‘alayhi salām) after ‘Asr on the day of Friday; the last creation, during the last hour of Friday, between ‘Asr and night (i.e. Sunset).
(Sahīh Muslim 2789)
The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَوْ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا وَقَاهُ اللهُ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ
No Muslim dies on the day of Friday, or the night of Friday (meaning Thursday night according to Gregorian calendar) except that Allāh will protect him from the trial of the grave.

‘Abdullāh ibn Salām narrated:
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ جَالِسٌ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ سَاعَةٌ لاَ يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ يُصَلِّي يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا شَيْئًا إِلاَّ قَضَى لَهُ حَاجَتَهُ . قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَوْ بَعْضُ سَاعَةٍ . فَقُلْتُ صَدَقْتَ، أَوْ بَعْضُ سَاعَةٍ . قُلْتُ: أَىُّ سَاعَةٍ هِيَ؟ قَالَ: ” هِيَ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ سَاعَاتِ النَّهَارِ ” قُلْتُ: إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ سَاعَةَ صَلاَةٍ . قَالَ: ” بَلَى. إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا صَلَّى ثُمَّ جَلَسَ، لاَ يَحْبِسُهُ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةُ، فَهُوَ فِي صَلاَةٍ
I said when the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وسلم was sitting: ‘We find in the Book of Allāh that on Friday there is an hour when no believing slave performs prayer and asks Allāh for anything at that time except Allāh will fulfill his need’. The messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وسلم pointed to me saying ‘or some part of an hour’. I said ‘you are right, or some part of an hour’. I said ‘what time is that?’. He said ‘it is the last hours of the day’. I said ‘It is not the time for the prayer?’. He said ‘Yes, it is so, when a believing slave performs prayer and then sits with nothing but the prayer keeping him (i.e. Waiting for the prayer), he is in (a state of) prayer’.
(Ibn Mājah 1139. Declared Hasan Sahīh by Al-Albānī)
