Does hating Friday and feeling distressed by it indicate a deficiency in one's faith?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people are distressed by Friday and feel uneasy about it. Does he sin by doing so? And is that a sign of imperfect faith?

Answer:
There is no doubt that if one hates Friday because of the worship and the Friday prayer contained in it, then this is a great danger.
That is because they disliked what Allah revealed, so He rendered worthless their deeds.ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ
[Muhammad 47:9]
,
That is because they followed what angered Allah and disliked [what earns] His pleasure, so He rendered worthless their deeds.ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اتَّبَعُوا مَا أَسْخَطَ اللَّهَ وَكَرِهُوا رِضْوَانَهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ
[Muhammad 47:28]
, so the danger in this is great.
