The Excellence of Friday Prayer
وعنه وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ عَلَى أَعْوَادِ مِنْبَرِهِ: لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ أَقْوَامٌ عَنْ وَدْعِهِمُ اَلْجُمُعَاتِ، أَوْ لَيَخْتِمَنَّ اَللَّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، ثُمَّ لَيَكُونُنَّ مِنَ اَلْغَافِلِينَ ((رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ)).
Ibn 'Umar and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: We heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying (while delivering Khutbah on his wooden pulpit), "Either some people (i.e., hypocrites) stop neglecting the Friday prayers, or Allah will seal their hearts and they will be among the heedless." [Muslim].
