Is there a difference in establishing Friday prayer between large villages and major cities, and is the statement of Ibn Nujaym al-Misri in "Al-Bahr Al-Raiq" that Friday prayer is obligatory in three categories (obligatory in major cities, incumbent in their environs, and sunnah in large villages that meet the conditions) contrary to the majority of scholars? If there is no difference, then what is the interpretation of his statement?

Jumu'ah prayer is obligatory in major cities and towns according to the majority of scholars, but the Hanafis hold a differing view. The statement attributed to Ibn Nujaym is his attribution to others, while he expressed his own opinion on it. He mentioned that Jumu'ah is an obligation upon major cities, an incumbency upon their surroundings, and a Sunnah (definition) for large villages that meet the conditions. However, he disapproved of this, as the madhhab (definition) (Hanafi school) dictates that Jumu'ah prayer is not valid in villages, and it is not obligatory upon their inhabitants, even if they are close to a major city.
