The Companions Who Left the Friday Sermon

One Friday, while Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was giving the sermon in Masjid an-Nabawi, a trade caravan arrived with food that Madinah badly needed, and most of the listeners rushed out to it. Only twelve companions stayed seated until the end. Allah revealed that what is with Him is far better than any trade or amusement, and those who had left repented and never did so again.
