It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul! I intended to order my young men to prepare bundles of firewood for me, then to order a man to lead the people in prayer, and to burn those houses along with the people inside them."
