[Machine] Once, a blind man from the Quraysh came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, by my father and mother, I have become old, my bones have become weak, and my eyesight has gone, and I have a guide who does not allow me to lead the prayer. Can I pray in my house?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Can you hear the Adhan from the house you are in?" He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I cannot give you permission. Even if this one who is sitting behind (leading the prayer) knew that you were behind him, he would still come to you, and you should lead the people in prayer even if they crawl on their knees and hands."  

الطبراني:٧٨٨٦حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَفْصٍ الْقَاصُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاتِكَةِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ أَقْبَلَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَهُوَ أَعْمَى وَهُوَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهِ {عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى

أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَى} وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي أَنَا كَمَا تَرَانِي قَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَرَقَّ عَظْمِي وَذَهَبَ بَصَرِي وَلِي قَائِدٌ لَا يُلَاوِمُنِي قِيَادَةَ إِيَّايَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي مِنْ رُخْصَةٍ أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي الصَّلَوَاتِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ تَسْمَعُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ مِنْ رُخْصَةٍ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُ هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ مَا لِهَذَا الْمَاشِي إِلَيْهَا لَأَتَاهَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ»
