English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي
Ibn Sirin said: Ibn Abbas said to his Muadhdhin on a rainy day: “when you utter the words ‘ I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, ” do not say, ” Come to prayer” but say “Pray at your homes, ” By this (announcement) the people were surprised. He said: One who was better than me has done it. The Friday prayer is an obligatory duty. But I disliked to put you to hardship so that you might walk in mud and rain.
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ صَاحِبُ الزِّيَادِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ابْنِ عَمِّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ لِمُؤَذِّنِهِ فِي يَوْمٍ مَطِيرٍ : "
إِذَا قُلْتُ : أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، فَلَا تَقُلْ : حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، قُلْ : صَلُّوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ
" ، فَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ اسْتَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ فَعَلَ ذَا مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي ، إِنَّ الْجُمُعَةَ عَزْمَةٌ ، وَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُخْرِجَكُمْ فَتَمْشُونَ فِي الطِّينِ وَالْمَطَرِ .
