Those who attended the prayer while ill and did not abandon it

Abu Hayyan narrates from his father that al-Rabi' bin Khuthaym had an illness, and he would come to the mosque supported by two men. Someone said to him: "O Abu Yazid, you are excused, if Allah wills." He said: "Yes, you are right, but I hear the voice of the muezzin when he says: Come to prayer, come to success. So whoever hears it should come to the prayer, even if he has to drag himself on his knees."

Sa'd bin Ubaydah said: Abu Abd al-Rahman, when he was ill, used to be carried to the mosque.

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in the illness in which he died, walk supported by two men until he went into the row and stood in it.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said: For thirty years, whenever the muezzin has given the adhan, I have been in the mosque.

Ibrahim said: The predecessors (salaf) permitted leaving the congregation only to a sick person and to someone who was in fear.
