English translation

[1604] 26 - (699) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Abbâs said to his Mu'adhhdhin on a rainy day: "When you say: 'I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allâh and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allâh,' do not say, 'Come to prayer,' rather say: 'Pray in your dwellings.'" It was as if the people found that strange, so he said: "Are you surprised by that? One who is better than me did that (i.e., The Prophet ﷺ). Jumu'ah is obligatory, but I did not want to force you to walk in the mud and on slippery ground."

Arabic text

26 - (699) وَحَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، صَاحِبِ الزِّيَادِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِمُؤَذِّنِهِ فِي يَوْمٍ مَطِيرٍ: " إِذَا قُلْتَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَلَا تَقُلْ: حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، قُلْ: صَلُّوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ "، قَالَ: فَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ اسْتَنْكَرُوا ذَاكَ، فَقَالَ: «أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ ذَا، قَدْ فَعَلَ ذَا مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي، إِنَّ الْجُمُعَةَ عَزْمَةٌ، وَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُحْرِجَكُمْ فَتَمْشُوا فِي الطِّينِ وَالدَّحْضِ»
