Why did Allah single out Friday in: {When the call is made for prayer on the day of Jumu'ah}?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He asks about the noble verse:
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave tradeيَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ
[Al-Jumu'ah: 9]. The question says: Why did Allah single out Friday in this verse?
Answer: Because of its great status and because it is missed... if one attends it, it is missed, and he does not pray except the Zuhr prayer after that. So it is obligatory for him to hasten to it and not be occupied with selling or anything else until he catches it, because of its great status and because it is the weekly obligation and the Muslims gather for it, and it has a great virtue. The believer should maintain it and beware of the obstacles. Yes.
