Sunan Abi Dawud 552 (Book 2, Hadith 162) #20843
Praying in the Mosque is Mandatory

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) did not grant permission to a blind man to pray in his house, as he was able to hear the call for prayer.

Narrated Amr ibn Za'dah, Ibn Umm Maktum: Ibn Umm Maktum asked the Prophet 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.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ 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

QUICK LESSONS:
Attend Congregational Prayers regularly when possible

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of praying in a mosque. It is narrated by Amr ibn Za'dah, Ibn Umm Maktum that he asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ if it was permissible for him to pray at home as he was blind and his house was far away from the mosque. The Prophet ﷺ replied that since he could hear the call for prayer, there was no permission granted for him to pray at home. This hadith teaches us that it is mandatory upon Muslims who are able to do so, to attend congregational prayers in mosques and not just rely on praying at home or any other place. It also shows us how much importance Islam places on attending congregational prayers and how it should be taken seriously by all Muslims who are capable of doing so.
