ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمَطَرَ وَالْبَرَدَ لَا حَرَجَ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ فِي التَّخَلُّفِ، عَنْ إِتْيَانِ الْجَمَاعَاتِ عِنْدَ انْفِرَادِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجْتَمِعَا

that he called the adhān at Ḍajnān on a cold night and said to his companions: Pray in your dwellings, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to instruct the mu’adhdhin to give the adhān on a rainy or cold night, and he would instruct his companions: "Pray in your dwellings."

أَنَّهُ أَذَّنَ بِضَجْنَانَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بَارِدَةٍ، وَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْمَطِيرَةِ أَوِ الْبَارِدَةِ، وَيَأْمُرُ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ: «صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ».

bukhari:632Musaddad > Yaḥyá > ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿUmar > Nāfiʿ

Once in a cold night, Ibn ʿUmar pronounced the Adhan for the prayer at Dajnan (the name of a mountain) and then said, "Pray at your homes", and informed us that Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to tell the Mu'adh-dhin to pronounce Adhan and say, "Pray at your homes" at the end of the Adhan on a rainy or a very cold night during the journey."

البخاري:٦٣٢حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ قَالَ

أَذَّنَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بَارِدَةٍ بِضَجْنَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ صَلُّوا فِي رِحَالِكُمْ فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ مُؤَذِّنًا يُؤَذِّنُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ عَلَى إِثْرِهِ أَلاَ صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْبَارِدَةِ أَوِ الْمَطِيرَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ

أحمد:٥١٥١حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّهُ أَذَّنَ بِضَجَنَانَ لَيْلَةً الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ قَالَ

فِي إِثْرِ ذَلِكَ أَلَا صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ مُؤَذِّنًا يَقُولُ أَلَا صَلُّوا فِي الرِّحَالِ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْبَارِدَةِ أَوِ الْمَطِيرَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ
