Sayyiduna Nu'aym bin al-Nahham (may Allah be pleased with him) states: On a cold day the adhan was called for the morning prayer, and at that time I was with my wife under the quilt. I thought: I wish the mu'adhdhin would say: "Whoever stays seated (that is, does not attend the congregational prayer), there is no harm." When the caller of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the end of the adhan, he said: "Whoever stays seated, there is no harm."
Imam Ahmad and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded this narration, but he reported these words: When he said "Al-salatu khayrun min al-nawm (Prayer is better than sleep)," he then said: "Whoever stays seated, there is no harm." Isma'il bin Ayyash narrated this from Yahya bin Sa'id al-Ansari al-Madani, and his narrations from the people of Hijaz are rejected. Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration with another chain, whose narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Hadith Gradingمحدثین:إسناده ضعيف، لكن الحديث صحيح بشواهده (إسنادہ الأول ضعیف؛ کیونکہ اسماعیل بن عیاش کی اہلِ حجاز سے روایت مردود ہے، البتہ دوسری سند صحیح ہے؛ کیونکہ اس کے رجال صحیح کے رجال ہیں۔)
