The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I traveled to al-Madinah and passed through Jeddah, where I stayed for one day. It was Friday, so I did not pray the Friday prayer, and I slept until the time for the afternoon prayer.
The Shaykh:
What does he say?

That day was Friday, so I did not pray the Friday prayer; rather, I slept until the time for the afternoon prayer.
