Narrated `Abdullah bin Al-Harith: Ibn `Abbas addressed us on a (rainy and) muddy day and when the Mu'adh-dhin said, Come for the prayer Ibn `Abbas ordered him to say, Pray in your homes. The people began to look at one another with surprise as if they did not like it.

Ibn `Abbas narrated the same as above but he said, I did not like you to make you sinful (in refraining from coming to the mosque) and to come (to the mosque) covered with mud up to the knees.
