باب هَلْ يُصَلِّي الإِمَامُ بِمَنْ حَضَرَ وَهَلْ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْمَطَرِ

Sahih al-Bukhari 668

Abdullah bin Al-Harith narrated that Ibn Abbas (رضي الله تعالی عنہ) addressed us on a (rainy and) muddy day and when the Mu'adh-dhin said, "Come for the prayer" Ibn Abbas (رضي الله تعالى عنه) ordered him to say, "Pray in your homes." The people began to look at one another with surprise as if they did not like it. Ibn Abbas (رضي الله تعالى عنه) said, "It seems that you thought ill of it but no doubt it was done by one who was better than I (the Prophet ﷺ). It (the prayer) is a strict order and I disliked to bring you out." Ibn Abbas ( رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated the same as above but he said, "I did not like you to make you sinful (in refraining from coming to the mosque) and to come (to the mosque) covered with mud up to the knees."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ صَاحِبُ الزِّيَادِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي رَدْغٍ ، فَأَمَرَ الْمُؤَذِّنَ لَمَّا بَلَغَ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ : قُلِ الصَّلَاةُ فِي الرِّحَالِ ، فَنَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَكَأَنَّهُمْ أَنْكَرُوا ، فَقَالَ : كَأَنَّكُمْ أَنْكَرْتُمْ هَذَا ، إِنَّ هَذَا فَعَلَهُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِنَّهَا عَزْمَةٌ وَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُحْرِجَكُمْ ، وَعَنْ حَمَّادٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ نَحْوَهُ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُؤَثِّمَكُمْ ، فَتَجِيئُونَ تَدُوسُونَ الطِّينَ إِلَى رُكَبِكُمْ .

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (رضي الله تعالى عنه) narrated that a cloud came and it rained till the roof started leaking and those days the roof used to be of the branches of date-palms. Iqama was pronounced and I saw Allah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) prostrating in water and mud and even I saw the mark of mud on his forehead.

Anas bin Seereen narrated : I heard Anas (رضي الله تعالى عنه) saying, "A man from Ansar said to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), 'I cannot pray with you (in congregation).' He was a very fat man and he prepared a meal for the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and invited him to his house. He spread out a mat for the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), and washed one of its sides with water, and the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) prayed two rakat on it." A man from the family of Al-Jaarud asked, "Did the Prophet ( صلى ہللا عليه و آلهوسلم) pray the forenoon prayer?" Anas (رضي الله تعالى عنه) said, "I did not see him praying the forenoon prayer except on that day."
