[Machine] "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I have indeed intended to command my young men to prepare for me bundles of firewood, and then I would command a man to lead the people in prayer, and then we would burn the houses with those inside them.'"

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ فِتْيَانِي أَنْ يَسْتَعِدُّوا لِي بِحُزَمٍ مِنْ حَطَبٍ ثُمَّ آمُرَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي لِلنَّاسِ ثُمَّ نُحَرِّقَ بُيُوتًا عَلَى مَنْ فِيهَا

This is what Abu Huraira reported to us from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and (in this connection) he narrated some ahadith, one of them is: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I intend that I should command my young men to gather bundles fuel for me, and then order a person to lead people in prayer, and then burn the houses with their inmates (who have not joined the congregation).

مسلم:٦٥١c – وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ قَالَ هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ
