عن ابن عمرَ وأبي هُريرةَ رضي الله عنهم، أنهما سَمعا رسولَ اللهﷺ يقولُ على أعوادِ مِنْبَرِه: «لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ أقْوامٌ عن وَدْعِهمُ الجُمُعاتِ، أو لَيَخْتِمَنَّ اللهُ على قُلوبِهم، ثم لَيَكونُنَّ منَ الغافِلينَ»
55 - Friday prayer
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar and Abu Hurayrah narrated that they both heard
God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) say as he was standing on the steps of his platform: Some people shall stop neglecting Friday Prayer or else God will seal their hearts and then they will be among the heedless.

Believers! When the call to prayer is made on Friday, go straightaway to the prayer and leave off your trading. This is best for you, if you but knew it. (9) When the prayer is finished, disperse in the land and seek God’s bounty. Remember God often so that you may be successful. (10) Yet when people see some trade or entertainment, they head off towards it, leaving you standing there. Say: ‘That which is with God is far better than any entertainment or trade. God is the best of providers’.
(62: 9-11)
