The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pray Jumu'a in a small settlement

Question

A week has seven days, and Friday is regarded as the chief of them all. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ described many virtues of the day of Friday and said: “On Friday send much salawat upon me,” since sending salawat on that day has greater virtues. He also said that whoever does not pray the Jumu'a prayer and the congregational prayer is among the people of Hell. And Allah Most High Himself has also stressed Jumu'a.

Answer

The Jumu'a prayer too is a prayer of great virtue. Even before the Hijra, at the bidding of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Jumu'a had already begun in Madina Tayyiba, while in Makka Mukarrama there was no opportunity to pray Jumu'a.
