“Certainly, I felt like ordering a man to lead

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said regarding those who were absent during Friday prayer, “Certainly, I felt like ordering a man to lead the prayer and then I would burn the houses of the men who were absent from Friday prayer.”

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ الْجُمُعَةِ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ أُحَرِّقَ عَلَى رِجَالٍ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ الْجُمُعَةِ بُيُوتَهُمْ

652 صحيح مسلم كِتَاب الْمَسَاجِدِ وَمَوَاضِعِ الصَّلَاة لقد هممت أن آمر فتياني أن يستعدوا لي بحزم من حطب ثم آمر رجلا يصلي بالناس ثم تحرق بيوت على من فيها
