1067. Commentary:
➊ In Al-Mustadrak al-Hakim, this hadith is narrated by Tariq bin Shihab through Abu Musa radi Allahu anhu. Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has stated that several hadith scholars have declared it authentic. See: [نيل الأوطار : 258/3]
➋ This hadith is absolute and general, and it indicates that performing Jumu‘ah (Friday prayer) is obligatory even in villages and similar places. Furthermore, there is no authentic evidence in the Qur’an or hadith which shows that performing Jumu‘ah in villages is not permissible. The statement of those who claim otherwise is rejected, contrary to the Qur’an, and against the practice of the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in.
➌ The generality of the Noble Qur’an also supports this. Allah the Exalted says: «يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّـهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ» [الجمعة : 9]
In response to a question, Umar al-Faruq radi Allahu anhu wrote «جمعوا حيث كنتم»: “Wherever you are, perform Jumu‘ah.” [مصنف ابن أبى شيبة، حديث : 5068]
