Hadith of Utban ibn Malik
Musnad Ahmad 16480 — Hadith of Utban ibn Malik
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، فَسُئِلَ سُفْيَانُ عَمَّنْ ؟ ، قَالَ : هُوَ مَحْمُودٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ كَانَ رَجُلًا مَحْجُوبَ الْبَصَرِ ، وَأَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ التَّخَلُّفَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ : " هَلْ تَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَهُ .
Sayyiduna Itban bin Malik had extremely weak eyesight (he was almost blind). He mentioned to the Prophet (ﷺ) that he missed the congregational prayer. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Do you hear the call to prayer (adhan)?" He replied, "Yes!" So the Prophet (ﷺ) did not grant him permission to be absent.
