Warning against abandoning congregational prayer
Hadith 163
أَخْبَرَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، نا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْمَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي قَائِدٌ يَقُودُنِي إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ لَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى دَعَاهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: ((هَلْ تَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ بِالصَّلَاةِ؟)) فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: ((فَأَجِبْ)) .
Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A blind man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I have no guide to lead me to the prayer (in congregation)." So he requested the Prophet to grant him permission to pray at home. The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave him permission. When he turned to leave, the Prophet (peace be upon him) called him back and said: "Do you hear the call to prayer (adhan)?" He replied: "Yes." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Then come for the prayer."
