How can one obtain the reward mentioned in the Hadith: "Whoever comes early and is present early, and washes and bathes," and is this Hadith specific to men only?

The Hadith indicates the permissibility of ghusl (ritual bath) on Friday, arriving early, walking, drawing near to the Imam, listening, and refraining from idle talk. It also shows that combining these acts is a cause for meriting reward. Legal religious discourse includes both men and women unless there is a specific دليل (proof/evidence) otherwise. Therefore, the Friday ghusl is prescribed for everyone, and it is recommended for anyone intending to attend Jumu'ah (Friday prayer). It is more emphasized for males than females. If a woman performs these actions mentioned in the Hadith, she will attain the reward.
