ahmad:10962Kathīr > Jaʿfar > Yazīd b. al-Aṣammiʿan Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I indeed intended to command for the prayer to be established and then I would take out my young boys with them carrying bundles of firewood, and I would burn it upon a people in their homes who can hear the call to prayer but do not come to pray. Yazid asked, 'Is this on Fridays or other days?' He replied, 'I have never heard Abu Hurairah mention Fridays or other days except for this.'"  

أحمد:١٠٩٦٢حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَتُقَامَ ثُمَّ أَخْرُجَ بِفِتْيَانِي مَعَهُمْ حُزَمُ الْحَطَبِ فَأُحَرِّقَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ يَسْمَعُونَ النِّدَاءَ ثُمَّ لَا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ فَسَأَلَ يَزِيدُ أَفِي الْجُمُعَةِ هَذَا أَمْ فِي غَيْرِهَا؟ قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَذْكُرُ جُمُعَةً وَلَا غَيْرَهَا إِلَّا هَكَذَا

abudawud:549al-Nufaylī > Abū al-Malīḥ > Yazīd b. Yazīd > Yazīd b. al-Aṣam > Abū Hurayrah

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 b. Yazid) said: I asked Yazid b. 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 (May peace be upon him); He did not mention Friday (prayer) or any other.  

أبو داود:٥٤٩حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ الأَصَمِّ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ فِتْيَتِي فَيَجْمَعُوا حُزَمًا مِنْ حَطَبٍ ثُمَّ آتِيَ قَوْمًا يُصَلُّونَ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ لَيْسَتْ بِهِمْ عِلَّةٌ فَأُحَرِّقُهَا عَلَيْهِمْ قُلْتُ لِيَزِيدَ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ يَا أَبَا عَوْفٍ الْجُمُعَةَ عَنَى أَوْ غَيْرَهَا قَالَ صُمَّتَا أُذُنَاىَ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَأْثِرُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا ذَكَرَ جُمُعَةً وَلاَ غَيْرَهَا
