When the Buddha had stayed at Sāvatthī for as long as he liked, he set out wandering toward Kīṭāgiri with a large sangha of five hundred monks, including Sāriputta and Mahāmoggallāna. The monks Assaji and Punabbasuka heard about this and said, “Well then, let’s distribute all the dwellings belonging to the Sangha. Sāriputta and Mahāmoggallāna are in the grip of bad desires. So let’s not assign them any dwellings.” And they distributed all the dwellings belonging to the Sangha. When the Buddha eventually arrived at Kīṭāgiri, he said to a group of monks, “Go to the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka and say, ‘The Buddha is coming with a large sangha of five hundred monks, including Sāriputta and Mahāmoggallāna. Please assign dwellings to the Buddha, to the Sangha of monks, and to Sāriputta and Mahāmoggallāna.’”
