2.54 [Machine] Regarding those who neglect prayer

٢۔٥٤ بَابٌ فِيمَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ

darimi:1310Abū ʿĀṣim > Ibn ʿAjlān from his father > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I had the intention to command my young men to gather firewood, then command a man to lead the people in prayer. After that, I would differ to a group of people who have been lagging behind in performing this prayer. I would then set their homes on fire, even if they were thickened date-palm or al-murr trees. They would definitely come to witness it, and even if they knew what was inside, they would still come, even if they had to crawl."  

الدارمي:١٣١٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ فِتْيَانِي فَيَجْمَعُوا حَطَبًا فَآمُرَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ أُخَالِفَ إِلَى أَقْوَامٍ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَأُحَرِّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ بُيُوتَهُمْ لَوْ كَانَ عَرْقًا سَمِينًا أَوْ مُعَرَّقَيَنِ لَشَهِدُوهُمَا وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا»
