Chapter on What Is Reported Regarding Its Emphasis and Encouragement
Hadith 2458
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَتَى ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَنْزِلِي شَاسِعٌ وَأَنَا مَكْفُوفُ الْبَصَرِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ الْأَذَانَ، قَالَ: ((فَإِنْ سَمِعْتَ الْأَذَانَ فَأَجِبْ وَلَوْ حَبْوًا أَوْ زَحْفًا))
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! My house is far from the mosque, and I am also blind, yet I hear the call to prayer (adhan). (So can I pray at home?) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you hear the adhan, then respond to it, even if you have to come crawling on your buttocks or sliding on your hips.
Hadith 2459
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! كُنْتُ ضَرِيرًا شَاسِعَ الدَّارِ وَلِي قَائِدٌ لَا يُلَائِمُنِي فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي رُخْصَةً أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ: ((أَتَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ؟)) قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: ((مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ رُخْصَةً))
Sayyiduna Amr bin Umm Maktum رضي الله عنه says: I came to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم and said: O Messenger of Allah! I am blind and my house is also far from the mosque, and I have a guide but he does not cooperate with me, so will you grant me permission to pray at home? The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم asked: Do you hear the call to prayer (adhan)? I said: Yes. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: Then I do not find any concession for you.
Hadith 2460
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَسُئِلَ سُفْيَانُ عَمَّنْ؟ قَالَ: هُوَ مَحْمُودٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ كَانَ رَجُلًا مَحْجُوبَ الْبَصَرِ وَإِنَّهُ ذَكَرَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ التَّخَلُّفَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: ((هَلْ تَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ؟)) قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَهُ
Mahmood bin Rabee’ says: Sayyiduna ‘Itbaan bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) was a blind man, so he mentioned to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about staying behind from the prayer, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do you hear the call to prayer (adhan)?” He said: “Yes.” Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not grant him a concession.
Hadith 2461
عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: عَلَّمَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: ((إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيُؤُمَّكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ، وَإِذَا قَرَأَ الْإِمَامُ فَأَنْصِتُوا))
Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us (certain matters), and among them he also said: When you stand for prayer, one man among you should lead (as imam), and when the imam recites (Qur'an), you should remain silent.
Hadith 2462
عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمَرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَيْنَ مَسْكَنُكَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فِي قَرْيَةٍ دُونَ حِمْصَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((مَا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فِي قَرْيَةٍ لَا يُؤَذَّنَ وَلَا تُقَامُ فِيهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ إِلَّا اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ، فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ الذِّئْبَ يَأْكُلُ الْقَاصِيَةَ))
Ma’dan bin Abi Talhah Ya’mari says: Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me: Where is your home? I said: In a village behind Hims. Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: In any village where there are three men and neither the call to prayer is given nor the prayer is established, then Satan prevails there. Therefore, adhere to the congregation, (otherwise remember that) the wolf eats the sheep that strays away from the flock.
Hadith 2463
عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ ذِئْبُ الْإِنْسَانِ كَذِئْبِ الْغَنَمِ يَأْخُذُ الشَّاةَ الْقَاصِيَةَ وَالنَّاحِيَةَ فَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالشِّعَابَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ وَالْعَامَّةِ وَالْمَسْجِدِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, Satan is to man like a wolf is to sheep; he seizes the one that strays far and remains apart. So beware of the ravines, and adhere to the congregation, the general body of Muslims, and the mosque.
