The meaning of 'Whosoever leaves off three Jumu'ahs out of negligence'
Question:
"What is the meaning of the Hadeeth 'Whosoever leaves off three Jumu'ahs out of negligence'[1], to the rest of the Hadeeth?"
Answer:
"Whosoever leaves off three Jumu'ahs out of negligence, meaning out of laziness and disconcern, he doesn't go out to the Jumu'ah prayer and leaves it off, then that is a sign for the weakness of Iman (faith or belief) in his heart. If it was only one Jumu'ah we could say that he slipped up (i.e. made a mistake). But leaving off three Jumu'ahs in a row, indicates that he is not certain about them; that he does not believe in them and that he sees them as being insignificant. And thus this individual is punished by Allah putting a seal on his heart. And whomsoever Allah puts a seal on his heart is indeed from the losers. Allah says:
{Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who know not.} [Surah Ar-Room 30:59]

السؤال: ما المقصود بحديث: (مَنْ تَرَكَ ثَلَاثَ جُمَعٍ تَهَاوُنًا)، الحديث؟
الجواب: من ترك ثلاث جُمع، تهاونًا، أي كسلًا، وعدم مُبالاة، لا يتجه للجمعة، فترك الجمعة، دلَّ على ضعف الإيمان في قلبه، لو واحدة، قلنا زلّت بها قدمه، لكن ثلاث جُمع متتاليات يدلُّ تركُها على عدم يقينه بها، وعدم إيمانه بها، وأنه لا يراها شيئًا، يُعاقب هذا بأن يطبع الله على قلبه، ومن طبع الله على قلبه، فهو من الخاسرين، كذلك يقول الله : كَذَلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ
