Question:
It is reported in a hadith: Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) was asked about a man who stands in night prayer and fasts by day, but does not attend the Friday prayer or the congregational prayer. He said: He is in the Fire. What is the authenticity of this noble hadith?
Answer:
This report is well known from Ibn 'Abbas, and it is authentic from him (may Allah be pleased with him and his father). It indicates that neglecting the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer is among the causes of entering the Fire, may Allah protect us from that.
It is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih Muslim 865 Muslim reported it in his Sahih, from Abu Hurayrah and Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and Abu Dawud reported it with a sound chain, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said, may the prayer and peace be upon him: Sunan Abi Dawud 1052Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani), and he said, may the prayer and peace be upon him: Bulugh al-Maram 2:308.
Therefore, it is obligatory for the Muslim to hasten to respond to the call for the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer, and not to delay in doing so. Whenever he delays without a valid legal excuse—such as illness or fear—he is threatened with the Fire, even if he fasts by day and stands in night prayer.
We ask Allah for safety and well-being for us and for all Muslims from all evil.

It is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
People must cease to neglect the Friday prayer or Allah will seal their hearts and then they will be among the negligent.
لينتهين أقوام عن تركهم الجُمُعات أو ليختمن الله على قلوبهم، ثم ليكونن من الغافلينHe who leaves the Friday prayer (continuously) for three Friday on account of slackness, Allah will print a stamp on his heart.
من ترك ثلاث جمع تهاونًا بها طبع الله على قلبهWhoever hears the call for prayer and and does not come (to the mosque for prayer), his prayer will not be accepted from him, unless he has a (legitimate) excuse.
من سمع النداء ولم يأت فلا صلاة له إلا من عذرTherefore, it is obligatory for the Muslim to hasten to respond to the call for the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer, and not to delay in doing so. Whenever he delays without a valid legal excuse—such as illness or fear—he is threatened with the Fire, even if he fasts by day and stands in night prayer.
