Praying at home and citing the Prophet's saying, "Do not make your homes like graves"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa number ( 16371 )
Q 2: A man prays all the obligatory prayers at home except for Jumu'ah , and some of the obligatory prayers. When someone tells him about the congregational prayer in the mosque, he says the noble hadith:
Do not make your houses gravesلا تجعلوا بيوتكم قبورًا
Sunan Abi Dawud 2042Sahih (Al-Albani)
, so what is the meaning of the hadith?

A 2: His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Do not make your houses gravesلا تجعلوا بيوتكم قبورًا
Sunan Abi Dawud 2042Sahih (Al-Albani)
, its meaning is the exhortation to pray the voluntary prayers in them, whereas the obligatory prayers must be performed in the mosques with the congregation, due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever hears the call and does not respond, he has no prayer, except one who has an excuse.من سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352
, and other hadiths on that matter. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
