English translation

845. It was narrated from 'Itbān bin Mālik that he said: "O Messenger of Allāh, the floods keep me from coming to the Masjid of my people. I would like you to come and pray in a place in my house so that I can take it as a Masjid." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "We shall do that." "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered he said: 'Where do you want (me to pray).' I showed him a corner of the house, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood there, and we formed rows behind him, and he led us in praying two Rak'ahs." (Sahih)

Arabic text

844 - أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مَحْمُودٍ، عَنْ عِتْبَانَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ السُّيُولَ لَتَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِي فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي فَتُصَلِّيَ فِي مَكَانٍ مِنْ بَيْتِي أَتَّخِذُهُ مَسْجِدًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «سَنَفْعَلُ». فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟»، فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَفَفْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ

Commentary

If an optional prayer is incidentally held in congregation, there is no harm in it. People should not be invited for it. Although, for certain prayers that is not the case - for example, the Eclipse Prayer, the Drought Prayer, the two Eid Prayers, and the Tarawih Prayer, etc., people may be invited for them.
