عَنْ أَبي هُريْرَةَ وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُمْ: أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا رَسُولَ اللّهِ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَلَى أَعْوَادِ مِنْبَرِهِ: «لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ أقْوَامٌ عَنْ وَدْعِهِمُ الْجُمُعَاتِ، أَوْ لَيَخْتِمَنَّ اللّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، ثُمَّ لَيَكُونُنَّ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ» رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.
Abu Hurayrah and Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) reported that they heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say from the boards of his pulpit: "Let people desist from neglecting the Friday prayers, or else Allah will seal their hearts, and then they will surely become of the heedless." Reported by Muslim.

وهو على أعواد منبره: أي وهو يخطب، والظاهر أنّه يخطب على المنبر الجمعة. أقوام: جمع قوم، والمراد بهم المنافقون. ودْعهم: تركهم. ليختمنّ: ليطبعنّ، والمعنى: يحكم عليهم بالكفر الأبدي. الغافلين: اللاهين عن ذكر اللّه.

"Will surely seal": will surely stamp; the meaning is that He will decree upon them eternal disbelief. "The heedless": those who are oblivious to the remembrance of Allah.
