Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, it is obligatory upon him to perform the Friday prayer on the day of Jumu’ah, except for a sick person, a traveler, a woman, a (minor) child, and a slave—their ruling is different (Jumu’ah is not obligatory upon them). So whoever neglects it due to some amusement or trade, Allah will show indifference to that person, and Allah is Self-Sufficient and Praiseworthy.”

Tariq bin Shihab narrates the statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Jumu'ah is obligatory upon all people, except for four: a slave, a (minor) child, a sick person, and a woman."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“(In this world) we are the last to come, but on the Day of Resurrection we will be the first. The reason for this is: those people were given the Book before us, and we were given the Book after them. So this is the day which Allah made obligatory upon them, and then Allah guided us regarding it. So, in this matter, people follow us. The day of the Jews is tomorrow (Saturday), and the day of the Christians is the day after (Sunday).”
