Narration
The Prophet ﷺ left Quba on a Friday to head into Medinah sharif. About a kilometer from Quba he passed the village of Banu Salim bin Auf.
The people of Banu Salim implored: “O Prophet of Allah, you stayed at the homes of our cousins for a number of days, reward us too with something, for they will pride themselves over us till the Day of Judgement that you stayed with them”.
The Prophet ﷺ dismounted and offered his first Jummah in their locality.
Approximately one hundred Muslims participated in this first Jummah salah. Amongst them were the Prophet’s ﷺ relatives from Bani an-Najjar who had come to meet him and some from Bani Amr who had escorted him from Quba.
After performing the Friday prayer, the Prophet ﷺ mounted Qaswa (his camel) and set off for the city of Medinah Sharif.
