Hadith 1859
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْدِيُّ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلانَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " أَلا هَلْ عَسَى أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ الصُّبَّةَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ عَلَى رَأْسِ مِيلٍ أَوْ مِيلَيْنِ ، فَتَعَذَّرَ عَلَيْهِ الْكَلأُ عَلَى رَأْسِ مِيلٍ أَوْ مِيلَيْنِ ، فَيَرْتَفِعَ حَتَّى تَجِيءَ الْجُمُعَةُ ، فَلا يَشْهَدُهَا ، وَتَجِيءُ الْجُمُعَةُ فَلا يَشْهَدُهَا ، وَتَجِيءُ الْجُمُعَةُ فَلا يَشْهَدُهَا حَتَّى يُطْبَعَ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware, soon one of you will take a flock of goats and go a mile or two miles away. Then, when it becomes difficult for him to find grass at a mile or two miles, he will go even farther, until Friday comes and he will not be present at the Friday (prayer). Then the next Friday will come and he will not be present at that either. And the third Friday will come and he will not be present at that either, until a seal is set upon his heart."
