In The Quran, Surah Al-Jumu’ah ayah 9 it says,
“O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu’ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.”
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The Friday prayer is obligatory on him who hears the call. [1]
The Prophet in his teachings wanted to emphasize the importance of Friday Salat, so he said that sometimes he wished someone else could lead the jummat instead of him. That way he would be free to collect firewood and go burn the houses of those who did not come to congregation. [2]
In Sunan Abu Dawud 1052, it was also reported that those who miss three Friday prayers because of laziness then Allah will print a stamp on his heart.
