[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "One of you should take his sick camel and attend the prayer in congregation. If it becomes difficult for him due to his sick camel, he should say, 'If I had sought a place for my sick camel, it would have been better than this,' and he should then leave and only attend the Friday prayer. If it becomes difficult for him due to his sick camel, he should say, 'If I had sought a place for my sick camel, it would have been better than this,' and he should then leave and not attend the Friday prayer or the congregational prayer, and this will be sealed on his heart."  

أحمد:٢٣٦٧٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ مَوْلَى غُفْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَّخِذُ أَحَدُكُمُ السَّائِمَةَ فَيَشْهَدُ الصَّلَاةَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَتَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْهِ سَائِمَتُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَوْ طَلَبْتُ لِسَائِمَتِي مَكَانًا هُوَ أَكْلَأُ مِنْ هَذَا فَيَتَحَوَّلُ وَلَا يَشْهَدُ إِلَّا الْجُمُعَةَ فَيَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْهِ سَائِمَتُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَوْ طَلَبْتُ لِسَائِمَتِي مَكَانًا هُوَ أَكْلَأُ مِنْ هَذَا فَيَتَحَوَّلُ فَلَا يَشْهَدُ الْجُمُعَةَ وَلَا الْجَمَاعَةَ فَيُطْبَعُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ

"يَتَّخِذُ أَحَدُكُمُ السَّائِمَةَ، فَيَشْهَدُ الصَّلاةَ فِى الْجَمَاعَةِ فَيَتَعذَّرُ عَلَيْه سَائِمَتُهُ، فَيَقُولُ: لَوْ طَلَبْتُ لِسَائِمَتِى مَكَانًا هُوَ أَكْلأُ مِنْ هَذَا؟ فَيَتَحَوَّلُ فَلا يَشْهَدُ الْجُمُعَةً (فَيَتَعَذَّر عَلَيْهِ سَائِمَتهُ فَيَقُولُ: لوْ طَلَبْت لسَائمتى مَكَانًا هُوَ أَكْلأُ مِنْ هَذَا؟ فَيَتَحول ولا يَشْهَدُ الجُمُعَة) وَلا الْجَمَاعَةَ فَيَطبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ".
