The reciter: "And Waki' narrated in his chain, from al-Nakha'i, that he combined the prayers in Halwan.
And all of this indicates that whoever says: "There is no Friday prayer except in a major city," he means by that the villages in which there is a governor appointed by the Imam. So his intention is: that there is no Friday prayer except with the permission of the Imam, in a place where he has a deputy who establishes the Friday prayer with his permission. Ahmad interpreted it this way in a narration from him.
Similarly, it was narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, the companion of Abu Hanifah, regarding the interpretation of a major city: that if the Imam sends a deputy to a village to establish the hudud (fixed punishments), then it is a major city. So if he dismisses him, it is classified with the villages.
And something similar was narrated from Abu Yusuf, and from Abu Hanifah as well.
Ahmad said: A major city is one where the judge is present, and villages are not called major cities.
And Ishaq said: Every village in which there are forty men is called a major city, and this is very far-fetched.
And from Sufyan there are two narrations regarding the interpretation of a major city. One is: that it is any major city in which there is a congregation and an imam. The second, which Ibn al-Mubarak transmitted from him, is: that a major city is one that people recognize as a major city.
And 'Amr ibn Dinar said: We heard that there is no Friday prayer except in a major village.
And from him it was said: If the mosque is one in which the prayers are gathered, then pray the Friday prayer in it.
And the hadith of Ka'b ibn Malik has been mentioned previously: And all of these are in the ruling of villages outside the city".
The Shaykh : The important point is that there is no Friday prayer while traveling. However, if a traveler passes through a town where the Friday prayer is established and stays there, he must pray the Friday prayer because he falls under the general meaning of the statement of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9].

And the hadith of Ka'b ibn Malik has been mentioned previously:
That the first Friday prayer gathered in Madinah was in Naqi' al-Khudumat in the Huzm of the Harrah of Banu Bayadh, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered for the first time when he arrived in Madinah in the mosque of Banu Salim
