tabarani:12912[Chain 1] ʿAlī b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz > ʿĀrim Abū al-Nuʿmān [Chain 2] Muʿādh b. al-Muthanná > Musaddad > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Ayyūb And ʿĀṣim And ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd Ṣāḥib al-Ziyādī > ʿAbdullāh b. al-Ḥārith

[Machine] About Ayoub, Waasim, and Abd al-Hameed, the companion of al-Ziyadi, from Abdullah bin al-Harith, he said: Ibn Abbas delivered a sermon on a day of extreme cold. When the Mu'adhin said "hayya 'ala as-salah" (come to prayer), he ordered him to announce the prayer in everyone's places of dwelling (instead of going to the mosque). Some of them looked at each other, so he said, "It seems like you disapprove of this. However, this is better than my decision, and it is resolute."  

الطبراني:١٢٩١٢حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أنا عَارِمٌ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَا ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ

عَنْ أَيُّوبَ وَعَاصِمٌ وَعَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ صَاحِبُ الزِّيَادِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي رَدْعٍ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ الصَّلَاةُ فِي الرِّحَالِ فَنَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ «كَأَنَّكُمْ أَنْكَرْتُمْ هَذَا؟ قَدْ فَعَلَ هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَإِنَّهَا عَزْمَةٌ»

bukhari:616Musaddad > Ḥammād > Ayyūb And ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd Ṣāḥib al-Ziyādī Waʿāṣim al-Aḥwal > ʿAbdullāh b. al-Ḥārith

Once on a rainy muddy day, Ibn ʿAbbas delivered a sermon in our presence and when the Mu'adhdhin pronounced the Adhan and said, "Haiyi ʿala-s-sala(t) (come for the prayer)" Ibn ʿAbbas ordered him to say 'Pray at your homes.' The people began to look at each other (surprisingly). Ibn ʿAbbas said. "It was done by one who was much better than I (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ or his Mu'adh-dhin), and it is a license.'

[Machine] "To call for prayer during the journey, the people looked at each other and said, 'It seems like you disapprove of this. Someone better than me has already done it, and indeed it is a firm decision.'"
