1108. Samurah bin Jundab narrated that the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said: "Attend the remembrance (Khuṭbah), and come close to the Imām, for a person continues to distance himself until his (place in) Paradise is receded — even if he enters it.” (Da’if)
1108 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي بِخَطِّ يَدِهِ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ، قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «احْضُرُوا الذِّكْرَ، وَادْنُوا مِنَ الْإِمَامِ، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَا يَزَالُ يَتَبَاعَدُ حَتَّى يُؤَخَّرَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنْ دَخَلَهَا»

1. The believers should vie with one another to attend gatherings devoted to remembrance of Allāh, especially the Friday prayers and sermons. 2. Sitting as close as possible to the Imām has more merit and deserves greater reward.
