Ibn Umm Maktum asked the Prophet ﷺ 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.  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ شَاسِعُ الدَّارِ وَلِي قَائِدٌ لاَ يُلاَئِمُنِي فَهَلْ لِي رُخْصَةٌ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي قَالَ هَلْ تَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ لاَ أَجِدُ لَكَ رُخْصَةً  

"I said to the Prophet: 'I am an old man and blind; my house is far away, and I have no one to lead me. Is there any concession (for me not to have to attend the prayer in the mosque)?' He said: 'Can you hear the call?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then I do not find any concession for you.'"  

قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنِّي كَبِيرٌ ضَرِيرٌ شَاسِعُ الدَّارِ وَلَيْسَ لِي قَائِدٌ يُلاَوِمُنِي فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي مِنْ رُخْصَةٍ قَالَ هَلْ تَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ رُخْصَةً  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am an elderly blind man with a spacious house, and I do not have anyone to guide me. Between me and the mosque, there are trees and rivers. Do I have an excuse to pray in my house?" He asked, "Do you hear the Adhan (call to prayer)?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "Then respond to it."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ شَاسِعُ الدَّارِ وَلَيْسَ لِي قَائِدٌ يُلَائِمُنِي وَبَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ شَجَرٌ وَأَنْهَارٌ فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ عُذْرٍ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي قَالَ «هَلْ تَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَأْتِهَا»

"عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ، شَاسِعُ الدَّارِ، وَلَيْسَ لِي قَائِدٌ يُلازِمُنِي، فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي مِنْ رُخْصَةٍ؟ قَالَ: أَيَبْلُغُكَ النِّداءُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ رُخْصَةً".
