Ayat 55. So let not their wealth or their children amaze you (O Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH) ; in reality Allah's Plan is to punish them with these things in the life of the this world, and that their souls shall depart (die) while they are disbelievers.
Ayat 56. They swear by Allah that they are truly of you while they are not of you, but they are a people (hypocrites) who are afraid (that you may kill them).
Ayat 57. Should they find a refuge, or caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto with a swift rush.
Hazrat Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: We heard the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) saying (while delivering Khutbah on his wooden pulpit), "Either some people (i.e., hypocrites) stop neglecting the Friday prayers, or Allah will seal their hearts and they will be among the heedless.'' [Muslim Hadith # 1882].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Taubah Ayat 56. They swear by Allah that they are truly of you while they are not of you,". "They will be among the heedless'' means those who will become utterly unmindful of the remembrance of Allah and His Orders. Such people are Munafiqun (hypocrites), whose abode will be Hell. It means that negligence of Jumu`ah for a long time is such a serious offence that it can even seal a man's heart, which finishes all hopes and chances of one's improvement.
