794. Ibn 'Abbâs and Ibn 'Umar narrated that they heard the Prophet ﷺ say on his pulpit: "People should desist from failing to attend the congregations, otherwise Allâh will seal their hearts, and then they will be among the negligent." (Sahih)
794 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِينَاءَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَابْنُ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: عَلَى أَعْوَادِهِ «لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ أَقْوَامٌ عَنْ وَدْعِهِمُ الْجَمَاعَاتِ، أَوْ لَيَخْتِمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ، ثُمَّ لَيَكُونُنَّ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ»

Pointing out the mistake of a few before the assembly was intended to admonish others, and dissuade them from falling into that error. Pointing out the mistake of someone without naming him is designed to make him concerned, and realize his mistake without humiliating him. Some of the sins could be the cause of the hearts being sealed that would slam the door on reform in the future. Avoiding prayers in congregation is a huge sin, punishable by the sealing of the heart even in this world.
