Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 717 — The rebuke for staying away from Friday

Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his paternal uncle (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever abandons the Friday prayer three times (merely out of laziness, without any legitimate excuse), a seal will be placed on his heart, and his heart will be made like the heart of a hypocrite (in deprivation and wretchedness)."
The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), and Imams Ahmad, Abu Dawud, al-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah also recorded it in their books.
