أَوَّلُ جُمُعَةٍ أَقِيمَتْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ [ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَإِقَامَةُ أَوَّلِ جُمُعَةٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ قَائِدَ أَبِي، كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، حِينَ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ، فَكُنْتُ إذَا خَرَجْتُ بِهِ إلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، فَسَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ بِهَا صَلَّى عَلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ. قَالَ: فَمَكَثَ حِينًا عَلَى ذَلِكَ: لَا يَسْمَعُ الْأَذَانَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ إلَّا صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: وَاَللَّهِ إنَّ هَذَا بِي لَعَجْزٌ، أَلَّا أَسْأَلَهُ مَا لَهُ إذَا سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ صَلَّى عَلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ ؟ قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ كَمَا كُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَتِ، مَا لَكَ إذَا سَمِعْتَ الْأَذَانَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: أَيْ بُنَيَّ، كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ جَمَّعَ بِنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي هَزْمِ النَّبِيتِ، مِنْ حَرَّةِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: نَقِيعُ الْخَضَمَاتِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ: وَكَمْ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ؟ قَالَ: أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا.
Translation
✧ The first Friday prayer established in Madinah [Asʿad b. Zurārah and the establishment of the first Friday prayer in Madinah] Ibn Isḥāq said: Muḥammad b. Abī Umāmah b. Sahl b. Ḥunayf narrated to me, from his father Abū Umāmah, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Kaʿb b. Mālik, who said: I was the guide of my father, Kaʿb b. Mālik, when he lost his sight. When I took him out to the Friday prayer and he heard the call to prayer for it, he would invoke blessings upon Abū Umāmah, Asʿad b. Zurārah. He said: He continued doing that for a while: he would not hear the call to prayer for the Friday prayer without invoking blessings upon him and asking forgiveness for him. He said: I said to myself: By God, this is a shortcoming on my part, that I should not ask him why, when he heard the call to prayer for the Friday prayer, he invoked blessings upon Abū Umāmah Asʿad b. Zurārah. He said: So I took him out on a Friday as I used to take him out, and when he heard the call to prayer for the Friday prayer, he invoked blessings upon him and asked forgiveness for him. He said: I said to him: Father, why is it that when you hear the call to prayer for the Friday prayer, you invoke blessings upon Abū Umāmah? He said: He said: My son, he was the first to lead us in the Friday prayer in Madinah, in Hazm al-Nabīt, from the ḥarrah of Banū Bayāḍah, in a place called Naqīʿ al-Khaḍamāt. He said: I said: How many were you that day? He said: Forty men.
