[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the mosque and saw them gathered together but not praying. He became extremely angry. We had never seen him angrier than that. He said, "By Allah, I had thought of ordering a man to lead the people in prayer and then burn their houses down upon them." He may have also said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the night prayer."  

جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَآهُمْعِزِينَ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا مَا رَأَيْنَاهُ غَضِبَ غَضَبًا أَشَدَّ مِنْهُ قَالَ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ رَجُلًا يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ ثُمَّ أَتَتَبَّعَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي دُورِهِمْ فَأُحَرِّقَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed the last night's prayer until almost one-third of the night had passed or even closer. Then, he came and found the people restless and worried. He became extremely angry and said, "If a man were to call the people to defend their homesteads with armor or swords, they would respond to his call, while they are leaving this prayer. I had considered ordering a man to lead the people in prayer and then burn their houses over them with fire."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَخَّرَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى كَادَ يَذْهَبُ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ قُرَابُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ وَفِي النَّاسِ رِقَّةٌ وَهُمْ عِزُونَ فَغَضِبَ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا نَدَبَ النَّاسَ إِلَى عَرْقٍ أَوْ مِرْمَاتَيْنِ لَأَجَابُوا لَهُ وَهُمْ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ رَجُلًا فَيَتَخَلَّفَ عَلَى أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الدُّورِ الَّذِينَ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَأُحَرِّقَهَاعَلَيْهِمْ بِالنِّيرَانِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed the isha prayer until the night grew late. Then he went out to the mosque and found that the people were asleep, and only a few were present. He became angered, such anger that I never saw him display before. He said, "If a man invites the people to a meal of meat or two meals of barley porridge, they would answer his call, yet they remain negligent when it comes to this prayer. I had thought of asking someone to lead the people in prayer and then set fire to their houses with them inside."  

أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ حَتَّى تَهَوَّرَ اللَّيْلُ فَذَهَبَ ثُلُثُهُ أَوْ قَرَابَتُهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ عِزُونَ وَإِذَا هُمْ قَلِيلٌ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ غَضَبًا مَا أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ غَضِبَ غَضَبًا قَطُّ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى عَرْقٍ أَوْ مِرْمَاتَيْنِ أَتَوْهُ لِذَلِكَ وَلَمْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا وَهُمْ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ وَأَتَّتَبَّعَهَذِهِ الدُّورَ الَّتِي تَخَلَّفَ أَهْلُوهَا عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَأُضْرِمَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِالنِّيرَانِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed the Isha prayer on one night until almost one-third of the night had passed or close to it. He came (to the mosque) and found the people reclining and dozing off, some even sleeping. He became angry and said, "If a man among you calls the people for prayer and leads them in prayer, it would be better. And if a man among you were to lead the people in prayer and then go to his family and find them sleeping, he should set fire to their houses with fire."  

أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ قَرِيبُهُ فَجَاءَ وَفِي النَّاسُ رُقَّودٌ وَهُمْ عِزُونَ وَهُمْ حِلَقٌ فَغَضِبَ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا ناَدَى النَّاسَ وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو نَدَبَ النَّاسَ إِلَى عَرْقٍ أَوْ مِرْمَاتَيْنِ لَأَجَابُوا إِلَيْهِ وَهُمْ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ لَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَتَخَلَّفَ عَلَى أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الدُّورِ الَّذِينَ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَأُضْرِمَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِالنِّيرَانِ
