Sahih al-Bukhari 901 (Book 11, Hadith 25) #871
Praying at Home on Rainy Days

SUMMARY: The Prophet (pbuh) instructed his Mu'adh-dhin to tell people to pray in their houses on a rainy day instead of coming out for the Jumua prayer.

Narrated Muhammad bin Seereen: On a rainy day Ibn 'Abbas said to his Mu'adh-dhin, "After saying, 'Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah' (I testify that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger ), do not say 'Haiya 'Alas-Salat' (come for the prayer) but say 'Pray in your houses'". (The man did so). But the people disliked it. Ibn 'Abbas said, "It was done by one who was much better than I (ie the Prophet (pbuh) ). No doubt, the Jumua prayer is compulsory but I dislike to put you to task by bringing you out walking in mud and slush".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ، صَاحِبُ الزِّيَادِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ابْنُ عَمِّ، مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لِمُؤَذِّنِهِ فِي يَوْمٍ مَطِيرٍ إِذَا قُلْتَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ‏.‏ فَلاَ تَقُلْ حَىَّ عَلَى الصَّلاَةِ‏.‏ قُلْ صَلُّوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ‏.‏ فَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ اسْتَنْكَرُوا، قَالَ فَعَلَهُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي، إِنَّ الْجُمُعَةَ عَزْمَةٌ، وَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُخْرِجَكُمْ، فَتَمْشُونَ فِي الطِّينِ وَالدَّحْضِ‏.‏

Follow religious obligations while prioritizing safety and comfort .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the obligation of praying on a Friday and how it can be done even when it is raining. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ instructed his Mu’adh-dhin to tell people that they should pray in their houses instead of coming out for the Jumu’ah prayer if it was raining outside. He did this because he did not want people to have to walk through mud and slush just for the sake of attending the obligatory prayer. This hadith teaches us that we should always prioritize our safety and comfort over religious obligations, as long as we are still fulfilling them in some way or another. It also teaches us that we should be considerate towards others and think about how our actions might affect them before making decisions.
