901. Narrated Muḥammad bin Sīrīn: On a rainy day Ibn 'Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا said to his Mu'adh-dhīn, "After saying, 'Ash-hadu anna Muḥammadan Rasūl-Ullāh' (I testify that Muḥammad is Allāh's Messenger), do not say 'Haiya 'alaṣ-Ṣalāh' [Come for the Ṣalāt (prayer)] but say: 'Salū Fī Būtikum (offer Ṣalāt in your houses)'." (The man did so). But the people disliked it. Ibn 'Abbās said, "It was done by one who was much better than I (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ). No doubt, the Jumu'ah (prayer) is compulsory but I dislike to put you to task by bringing you out walking in mud and slush."

901 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الحَمِيدِ، صَاحِبُ الزِّيَادِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الحَارِثِ ابْنُ عَمِّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لِمُؤَذِّنِهِ فِي يَوْمٍ مَطِيرٍ: إِذَا قُلْتَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، فَلاَ تَقُلْ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلاَةِ، قُلْ: «صَلُّوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ»، فَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ اسْتَنْكَرُوا، قَالَ: فَعَلَهُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي، إِنَّ الجُمْعَةَ عَزْمَةٌ وَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُحْرِجَكُمْ فَتَمْشُونَ فِي الطِّينِ وَالدَّحَضِ
