Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ 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 قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Adam told us: Zuhayr told us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu al-Ahwas, from 'Abdullah, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to people who stayed away from the Friday prayer: 'I have thought of ordering a man to lead the people in prayer, then set fire to the houses of men who stay away from the Friday prayer.' Zuhayr said: Abu Ishaq told us that he heard it from Abu al-Ahwas.
