Sahih Muslim 651a (Book 5, Hadith 314) #8627
The Consequences of Not Attending Congregational Prayers

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned people of the consequences of not attending congregational prayers.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah found some people absenting from certain prayers and he said: I intend that I order (a) person to lead people in prayer, and then go to the persons who do not join the (congregational prayer) and then order their houses to be burnt by the bundles of fuel. If one amongst them were to know that he would find a fat fleshy bone he would attend the night prayer.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَدَ نَاسًا فِي بَعْضِ الصَّلَوَاتِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ رَجُلاً يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ أُخَالِفَ إِلَى رِجَالٍ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْهَا فَآمُرَ بِهِمْ فَيُحَرِّقُوا عَلَيْهِمْ بِحُزَمِ الْحَطَبِ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَلَوْ عَلِمَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنَّهُ يَجِدُ عَظْمًا سَمِينًا لَشَهِدَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي صَلاَةَ الْعِشَاءِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of attending congregational prayers. It was narrated by Abu Huraira that the Prophet Muhammad said that he would order a person to lead people in prayer and then go to those who do not join the congregation and burn their houses with bundles of fuel. This shows how serious it is for Muslims to attend their congregational prayers as it is an obligation upon them. It also serves as a warning for those who do not attend these prayers, as they will face severe consequences if they continue to be absent from them. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us that we should strive to fulfill our obligations and duties towards Allah even if we have no other motivation than fear or hope for reward.
