Narrated Amr ibn Zadah, Ibn Umm Maktum: Ibn Umm Maktum asked the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saying: Messenger of Allah, I am a blind man, my house is far away (from the mosque), and I have a guide who does not follow me. Is it possible that permission be granted to me for saying prayer in my house? He asked: Do you hear summons (adhan)? He said: Yes. He said: I do not find any permission for you.

Narrated Ibn Umm Maktum: Messenger of Allah, there are many venomous creatures and wild beasts in Madina (so allow me to pray in my house because I am blind). The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Do you hear the call, "Come to prayer, " "Come to salvation"? (He said: Yes.) Then you must come. Abu Dawud said: Al-Qasim al-Jarmi has narrated this tradition from Sufyan in a similar manner. But his version does not contain the words "Then you must come. "
