Hadith of Amr ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ (١)، ١٥٤٩٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، قَالَ: جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كُنْتُ ضَرِيرًا، شَاسِعَ الدَّارِ، وَلِي قَائِدٌ لَا يُلَائِمُنِي، فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي رُخْصَةً أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ: " أَتَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: " مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ رُخْصَةً " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Amr bin Umm Maktum that once I presented myself before the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! My house is far, I cannot see, someone can bring me (to the mosque), and he does not mind doing so, but do you see any concession for me that I may pray at home?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "Do you hear the call to prayer (adhan)?" I said, "Yes." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Then I do not find any concession for you."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُصَيْنُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادِ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَى فِي الْقَوْمِ رِقَّةً، فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي لَأَهُمُّ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامًا، ثُمَّ أَخْرُجُ فَلَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ، يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا أَحْرَقْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ "، فَقَالَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ نَخْلًا، وَشَجَرًا، وَلَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَائِدٍ كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ، أَيَسَعُنِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ: " أَتَسْمَعُ الْإِقَامَةَ؟ " قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " فَأْتِهَا " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Ibn Umm Maktum that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet’s Mosque and the number of people was few. Upon this, he said: My heart desires that I appoint a man to lead the people in prayer, and I myself go out; and whoever I see praying at home, I set his house on fire. Hearing this, Ibn Umm Maktum said: O Messenger of Allah! There is a garden and trees between my house and the Prophet’s Mosque, and I do not always have a guide available at every moment. Do you permit me to pray at home? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Do you hear the call to prayer? He replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Then you should come for the prayer.
