Riyad as-Salihin 1150 (Book 8, Hadith 160) #37639
Neglecting Friday Prayers Leads to Heedlessness

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned that those who neglect the Friday prayers will have their hearts sealed by Allah and become heedless.

Ibn 'Umar and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: We heard the Messenger of Allah saying (while delivering Khutbah on his wooden pulpit), "Either some people (ie, hypocrites) stop neglecting the Friday prayers, or Allah will seal their hearts and they will be among the heedless". Muslim.
وعنه وعن ابن عمر، رضي الله عنهم، أنهما سمعا رسول الله ، يقول على أعواد منبره‏:‏ ‏ "‏لينتهين أقوام عن وَدعهم الجمعات، أو ليختمن الله على قلوبهم، ثم ليكونن من الغافلين‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

It is a reminder for us all to take our religious obligations seriously so that we can stay away from such a fate.
