وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:

English Translation
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, I sometimes thought of giving orders for firewood to be collected, then for proclaiming the Adhan for Salat. Then I would appoint an Imam to lead Salat, and then go to the houses of those who do not come to perform Salat in congregation, and set fire to their houses on them.".
