اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل الْهُذَلِيُّ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ الزَّبْرِقَانِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الضَّمْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ رِجَالٌ عَنْ تَرْكِ الْجَمَاعَةِ أَوْ لَأُحَرِّقَنَّ بُيُوتَهُمْ " .
´It was narrated that Usamah bin Zaid said:` "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Let men desist from failing to attend the congregation, otherwise I will burn their houses down.'"
Brief Explanation
1؎ : It is clearly evident from the ahadith of this chapter that congregational prayer (salat al-jama‘ah) is obligatory; attendance at the congregation is very necessary. Permission to leave the congregation is granted only in a few cases: severe cold, a rainy night, or some pressing need such as hunger when food is ready, or the need to relieve oneself. Otherwise, it is not permissible to abandon the congregation due to laziness or indolence.

Commentary:
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not act upon this intention because there are women and children in the houses, and taking their circumstances into consideration, he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam overlooked it. However, staying behind from the congregation is certainly a cause of the Messenger of Allah’s sallallahu alayhi wa sallam displeasure; therefore, it can be counted as a major sin (kabirah).
