Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) states: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the mosque and saw that the people were few in number, so he said: "I have resolved to appoint someone as imam for the people, then go out, and whichever person I get hold of who has left the prayer and is sitting in his house, I would set fire to it." Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum said: "O Messenger of Allah! Between me and the mosque there are date palms and other trees, and I do not find someone to lead me at all times. Is there room for me to offer the prayer in my house?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you hear the iqamah?" He said: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then come here."
I say: Imam Abu Dawud recorded part of this narration. Imam Ahmad recorded this narration, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
