It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever leaves Jumu'ah without an excuse should give one dinar in charity, and if he does not have that much, then he should give half a dinar."

Sayyiduna Harithah bin Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: One of you keeps grazing animals and (in the beginning) attends the congregational prayer, then when his animals begin to complain of a shortage of grazing, he says: If I could find a place with more grass for my animals, so he moves (far away) and attends only the Jumu'ah prayer. Then his animals begin to present the excuse of a shortage of grazing, so he says: If I could find a place with even more grass for my animals, then he changes his place and (goes so far that) he attends neither Jumu'ah nor the congregation, and because of this, a seal is set upon his heart.
