Sahih Muslim Hadith 1604 – Praying In

English

[1604] 26 – (699) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Abbâs said to his Mu 'adhdhin on a rainy day: "When you say: 'I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,' do not say, 'Come to prayer,' rather say: 'Pray in your dwellings." It was as if the people found that strange, so he said: "Are you surprised by that? One who is better than me did that (i.e., The Prophet ). Jumu'ah is obligatory, but I did not want to force you to walk in the mud and on slippery ground."
