It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I intended to order for the prayer to be established, then it should be commenced, and I would go out with some young men who would have bundles of wood with them. Then I would burn down the houses of those people who hear the call to prayer but do not come to perform the prayer. Yazid, the narrator, was asked whether this warning was regarding the Friday prayer or other prayers. He said: I did not hear Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, mentioning Friday or any other specific prayer.
