939. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin Hārīth bin Nawfal that Ibn 'Abbās commanded the Mu'adh-dhin to call the Adhān one Friday, which was a rainy day. He said: "Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar, Ashhadu an lā ilāha illallāh, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullāh" (Allāh is the Most Great, Allāh is Most Great, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allāh)." Then he (Ibn 'Abbās) said: "Proclaim to the people that they should pray in their houses." The people said to him: "What is this that you have done?" He said: "One who
is better than me did that. Are you telling me that I should bring the people out of their houses and make them come to me wading through mud up to their knees?" (Sahih)
