Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "I intended to order for the prayer to be established, then for the call to prayer (iqamah) to be given, then to order some young men to gather bundles of wood, then to have them set fire to those who do not come to the prayer."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "I intended to order the young men to gather bundles of wood, then I would command for the prayer and the call to prayer would be given, then I would burn the houses of those who hear the call to prayer but do not come to perform the prayer."

Fadl bin Musa and Al-Mala'i narrated with this chain in a similar manner.

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A blind man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I have no guide to lead me to the prayer (in congregation)." So he requested the Prophet to grant him permission to pray at home. The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave him permission. When he turned to leave, the Prophet (peace be upon him) called him back and said: "Do you hear the call to prayer (adhan)?" He replied: "Yes." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Then come for the prayer."
