The Friday Prayer In Villages — Sunan Abi Dawud 1069

When Ka'b ibn Malik heard the call to prayer on Friday, he would invoke mercy upon As'ad ibn Zurarah. I said to him: When you hear the call to prayer, you invoke mercy upon As'ad ibn Zurarah. He replied: Because he was the first one who led us in Friday prayer in Hazm an-Nabit, in the volcanic tract of Banu Bayadah, at a depression called Naqi' al-Khadumat. I said: How many were you at that time? He said: Forty.
