In which tribe did the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) perform his first Friday prayer (Jummah)?

Explanation

During the Hijrah (migration) from Makkah to Madina, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) stopped at a place called Wadi Ranuna, which was inhabited by the tribe of Banu Salim ibn Awf. It was there, on the way to Madina, that he established the first Friday congregational prayer (Jummah) in Islamic history. This event took place before he reached Quba and eventually entered Yathrib (Madina), marking the institutionalization of Jummah as an obligatory congregational prayer for Muslims.

Good to know

The first Jummah prayer was performed in Wadi Ranuna, belonging to the Banu Salim ibn Awf tribe, and it occurred on the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal during the Hijrah journey. The Prophet (PBUH) delivered the first Jummah sermon on this occasion, and it is reported that around 100 Muslims attended this historic prayer. This event highlights the significance of Jummah as a weekly congregational obligation that was established even before the Prophet reached his final destination of Madina.
