حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، قَالَ : وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي بِخَطِّ يَدِهِ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ ، قَالَ قَتَادَةُ : عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَالِكٍ ،عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " احْضُرُوا الذِّكْرَ ، وَادْنُوا مِنَ الْإِمَامِ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَا يَزَالُ يَتَبَاعَدُ حَتَّى يُؤَخَّرَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ دَخَلَهَا " .
Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: The Prophet ﷺ said: Attend the sermon (on Friday) and sit near the imam, for a man keeps himself away until he will be left behind at the time of entering Paradise though he enters it.

1108. Commentary:
➊ A Muslim should be eager to excel in acts of goodness and virtue so that he may attain precedence in nearness to Allah. In particular, attending Friday (Jumu‘ah) and listening to its sermon is among the greatest acts of virtue.
➋ Likewise, sitting close to the imam and the preacher is also a cause of merit.
