عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَحْضُرُوا الْجُمُعَةَ وَادْنُوا مِنَ الْإِمَامِ، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَتَخَلَّلُ عَنِ الْجُمُعَةِ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَتَخَلَّلُ عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِهَا))
Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Attend the Friday (prayer) and sit close to the Imam, for indeed a person begins to stay behind from Friday until he is left behind from Paradise, even though he is among the people of Paradise.
