549. It was reported from Yazīd bin Yazīd, from Yazīd bin Al-Aṣamm who said: "I heard Abū Hurairah saying: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I thought about ordering my young servants to gather fire-wood, then go to (the houses) of people who pray in their houses while having no excuse (to stay away from the Masjid), so that I may burn it down."
I (Yazīd bin Yazīd) said to Yazīd bin Al-Aṣamm: "O Abū 'Awf, did he mean the Friday prayer, or other prayers?" So he replied: 'May I never hear anything (after this) if I did not hear Abū Hurairah narrate from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ (this Hadīth); he did not specify the Friday prayer, or other than it.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
