\nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n \n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is I was about to order for collecting firewood \n(fuel) and then order Someone to pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and then order someone to lead \nthe prayer then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves \nfor the (compulsory congregational) prayer. By Him, in Whose Hands my soul is, if anyone of them \nhad known that he would get a bone covered with good meat or two (small) pieces of meat present in \nbetween two ribs, he would have turned up for the `Isha' prayer.'\n

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏\n"‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ بِحَطَبٍ فَيُحْطَبَ، ثُمَّ آمُرَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَيُؤَذَّنَ لَهَا، ثُمَّ آمُرَ رَجُلاً فَيَؤُمَّ النَّاسَ، ثُمَّ أُخَالِفَ إِلَى رِجَالٍ فَأُحَرِّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ بُيُوتَهُمْ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنَّهُ يَجِدُ عَرْقًا سَمِينًا أَوْ مِرْمَاتَيْنِ حَسَنَتَيْنِ لَشَهِدَ الْعِشَاءَ ‏"‏‏.‏
