حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْحُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "احْضُرُوا الْجُمُعَةَ ، وَادْنُوا مِنَ الإِمَامِ ، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ، فَيَتَأَخَّرَ عَنِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَيُؤَخَّرَ عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَإِنَّهُ لِمَنْ أَهْلِهَا "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، إِلا الْحَكَمُ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ سُرَيْحُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ
Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Attend the Friday (prayer), and sit close to the Imam. A person may be among the people of Paradise, but if he starts staying behind from the Friday prayer, he will also be kept behind from Paradise, even though he is among the people of Paradise.”

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.
