On the occasion of the hijrah, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) arrived in Quba before coming to Madinah Munawwarah. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) stayed in Quba for a few days, after which he mounted his camel and departed for Madinah Munawwarah on a Friday.

On the road from Quba to Madinah Munawwarah lies the locality of Banu Saalim. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) reached Banu Saalim at the time of Jumu’ah, and hence Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) performed the Jumu’ah here. This was the first Jumu’ah khutbah and Jumu’ah salaah which Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) performed in Islam.
