Bayhaqi 5606 — The number of people in a town on whom Friday prayer

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَكَانَ قَائِدَ أَبِيهِ بَعْدَمَا ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: " أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ تَرَحَّمَ لِأَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ "، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِ: إِذَا سَمِعْتَ النِّدَاءَ تَرَحَّمْتَ لِأَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، قالَ: " لِأَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ جَمَّعَ بِنَا فِي هَزْمِ النَّبِيتِ مِنْ حَرَّةِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ فِي نَقِيعٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْخَضَمَاتُ "، قُلْتُ: كَمْ كُنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ: " أَرْبَعُونَ ". وَرَوَاهُ جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ. كَمَا قَالَ يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: إِذَا ذَكَرَ سَمَاعَهُ فِي الرِّوَايَةِ وَكَانَ الرَّاوِي ثِقَةً اسْتَقَامَ الْإِسْنَادُ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنُ الْإِسْنَادِ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِيهِ حَدِيثٌ آخَرُ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِمِثْلِهِ.
Abd al-Rahman bin Ka'b bin Malik narrates: I used to lead my father (Ka'b bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him) to the mosque after his sight was gone. Whenever he heard the call to the Friday prayer, he would pray for mercy for As'ad bin Zurarah (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked: "O my dear father! Why is it that whenever you hear the call to the Friday prayer, you pray for mercy for As'ad bin Zurarah (may Allah be pleased with him)?" He said: "He was the first person who led us in the Friday prayer in Hazm al-Nabit, the settlement of Banu Bayadah in the area of Naqi', (a place) which is called al-Khadamat." I asked: "How many of you were there that day?" He said: "Forty men."
When Muhammad bin Ishaq states that he heard the narration directly and the narrator is trustworthy, the chain is sound; this hadith has a hasan (good) chain and is sahih (authentic). Another hadith has also been narrated on this subject, but one like it is not used as proof.
