عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى أَعْوَادِ مِنْبَرِهِ: ((لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ أَقْوَامٌ عَنْ وَدْعِهِمُ الْجُمَعَاتِ أَوْ لَيَخْتِمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَلَيُكْتَبُنَّ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them) bore witness that they heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying on the wooden pulpit: "Most certainly, either the people will desist from abandoning Jumu'ah, or else Allah Almighty will seal their hearts and they will be written among the heedless."
