Hadith #388

Arabic Text

English Translation

'Abdullah bin Umm Maktum, the Mu'adhdhin (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "There are many poisonous insects and wild beasts in Al-Madinah, and I am blind. Please grant me permission to perform Salat at home." He (ﷺ) enquired whether he could hear the call: Hayya 'alas-Salah; Hayya 'alal-Falah (Come to the prayer, come to the salvation). When he replied in affirmative, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ directed him to come (to mosque) for prayer.".
