حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ فِتْيَتِي فَيَجْمَعُوا حُزَمًا مِنْ حَطَبٍ ثُمَّ أَاتِيَ قَوْمًا يُصَلُّونَ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ لَيْسَتْ بِهِمْ عِلَّةٌ فَأُحَرِّقَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ قُلْتُ لِيَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ يَا أَبَا عَوْفٍ الْجُمُعَةَ عَنَی أَوْ غَيْرَهَا قَالَ صُمَّتَا أُذُنَايَ إِنْ لَمْ أَکُنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَأْثُرُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا ذَکَرَ جُمُعَةً وَلَا غَيْرَهَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 549
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: I thought about giving orders to some youths for gathering a bundle of firewood, then going off to some people who their prayers in their homes without any excuse, and burning down their houses over them. I (Yazid bin Yazid) said: I asked Yazid bin al-Asamm: Abu Awf did he mean Friday (prayer) or any other? He replied: may my ears become deaf if I have not heard Abu Hurairah narrating it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; He did not mention Friday (prayer) or any other.
