حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، وَكَانَ قَائِدَ أَبِيهِ بَعْدَ مَا ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ تَرَحَّمَ لِأَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : إِذَا سَمِعْتَ النِّدَاءَ تَرَحَّمْتَ لِأَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ ، قَالَ : لِأَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ جَمَّعَ بِنَا فِي هَزْمِ النَّبِيتِ مِنْ حَرَّةِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ فِي نَقِيعٍ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : نَقِيعُ الْخَضَمَاتِ ، قُلْتُ : كَمْ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ؟ قَالَ : أَرْبَعُونَ .
Narrated Kab ibn Malik: Abdur Rahman ibn Kab ibn Malik said: When Kab ibn Malik heard the call to prayer on Friday, he prayed for Asad ibn Zurarah. I asked him: What is the matter that when you hear the call to prayer, you pray for Asad ibn Zurarah? He replied: This is because he held the Friday prayer for the first time for us at Hazm an-Nabit of Harrah belonging to Banu Bayadah in Naqi', called Naqi' al-Khadumat. I asked him: How many were you at that time ? He said: Forty.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1069. Commentary:
Banu Bayadah is a branch of the Ansar. "Harrah" refers to such rocky land in which there are black stones. This settlement was at a distance of one mile from Madinah.
➋ The fact that these individuals were forty in number is a coincidental figure and merely a report; otherwise, there is no authentic narration regarding a specific number of individuals being required for the validity of Jumu‘ah (Friday prayer). If this reasoning is accepted, then for the establishment of the congregation of the other prayers of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), it would also be necessary to specify the number of individuals and to demand evidence for it.
