"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".

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

جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنْتُ ضَرِيرًا شَاسِعَ الدَّارِ وَلِي قَائِدٌ لَا يُلَائِمُنِي فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي رُخْصَةً أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ أَتَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ رُخْصَةً
