On the authority of Abu al-Ja'd al-Damari — and he was a Companion — from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Whoever abandons three Friday prayers out of negligence, Allah will set a seal upon his heart." (1) (2)

1370 — Muhammad ibn Ma'mar informed us, saying: Habbān narrated to us, saying: Abān narrated to us, saying: Yahyā ibn Abī Kathīr narrated to us, from al-Hadramī ibn Lāḥiq, from Zayd, from Abū Salām, from al-Ḥakam ibn Minā'
that he heard Ibn 'Abbās and Ibn 'Umar narrating that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said while upon the planks of his pulpit: "People must cease abandoning the Friday prayers, or Allah will surely set a seal upon their hearts, and they will surely be among the heedless." (3) (4)

(1) In the margins of (R), (K), (M), and (YH): 'Amr ibn Sawwād informed us ... and he mentioned the hadith recorded by the author in the "Sunan al-Kubrā" in the same chapter concerning the severity of staying away from the Friday prayer, no. (1669). See the preceding commentary.

(2) Authentic by virtue of its supporting witness, and this chain is good on account of Muhammad ibn 'Amr — namely Ibn 'Alqamah al-Laythī; Yahyā ibn Sa'īd is al-Qaṭṭān. It is in the "Sunan al-Kubrā" under no. (1668).
Aḥmad (15498) and Abū Dāwūd (1052) also transmitted it via the chain of Yahyā ibn Sa'īd.
Al-Tirmidhī (500), Ibn Mājah (1125), and Ibn Ḥibbān (258) and (2786) transmitted it through various routes from Muhammad ibn 'Amr. Al-Tirmidhī said: a good hadith.
The first narration of Ibn Ḥibbān — which is the narration of Sufyān al-Thawrī, from Muhammad ibn 'Amr — has the wording: "Whoever abandons the Friday prayer three times without an excuse is a hypocrite."
Al-Ṭabarānī transmitted it in "al-Awsaṭ" (2828) via the route of Abū Ma'shar, from Muhammad ibn 'Amr, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah.
Al-Dāraquṭnī said in "al-'Ilal" 8/21 regarding the narration of Abū Ma'shar: he erred in it. Then he said: The correct version is from Muhammad ibn 'Amr, from 'Ubaydah ibn Sufyān al-Hadramī, from Abu al-Ja'd al-Damari, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
It has a supporting witness with a good chain from the hadith of Jābir ibn 'Abd Allah, in Aḥmad (14559), the author in "al-Kubrā" (1669), and Ibn Mājah (1126).

(3) In (M) and a copy in the margin of (K): "and He will surely write" — and in the margin of (K) another variant: "then He will surely write."

(4) An authentic hadith, and this chain was not followed up regarding Ḥabbān — namely Ibn Hilāl — according to what al-Dāraquṭnī said.
