1066. It was reported from ‘Abdullāh bin Al-Hārīth, the paternal nephew of Muḥammad bin Sīrīn that Ibn ‘Abbās said to his Mu’adh-dhin on a rainy day: “When you say: ‘I testify that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh,’ don’t say: ‘Come to prayer,’ but say instead: ‘Pray in your houses.’” But it seemed that the people found this (act) strange, so he said: “Indeed, someone who was better than me did it. The Friday prayer is obligatory, so I disliked that I should cause you to leave (your houses) and walk in the mud and rain.” (Sahīh)

Commentary
Whenever the weather is bad, and may cause difficulty on those attending the Masjid, then this constitutes a legal excuse to not go to the Masjid for that prayer.
