حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْهُذَلِيُّ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ الزِّبْرِقَانِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الضَّمْرِيِّ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ رِجَالٌ عَنْ تَرْكِ الْجَمَاعَةِ أَوْ لأُحَرِّقَنَّ بُيُوتَهُمْ " .

'Uthman ibn Isma'il al-Hudhali al-Dimashqi narrated to us: Al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Dhi'b, from al-Zibriqan ibn 'Amr al-Damri, from Usamah ibn Zayd, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Men must stop abandoning the congregation, or I will certainly burn their houses.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The emphatic future warning is translated as a threat; the source does not say that the houses were actually burned.
