Some people say to the imam when light rain falls: Revive the Sunnah and combine the prayers

Question : Some people say to the imam when light rain falls: Revive the Sunnah and combine the prayers. Is this correct?

Answer : We say that the one who tells people to revive the Sunnah and combine the prayers when light rain falls has erred regarding the Sunnah.
This is because when Ibn 'Abbas was asked what he intended by that, he did not say he intended to give people a choice; rather, he said he intended not to burden his community. From this, it is known that Ibn 'Abbas, who narrated this hadith, understood that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did that to remove hardship. If there is no hardship, then the obligatory thing is to return to the clear texts, which are the obligation of prayer or the obligation of performing the prayer in its time. This is a reality among the defects of seeking knowledge in which a person does not reflect or contemplate; you find him taking the apparent wording, even though in the hadith there is a contradiction to his understanding. He becomes like the one who said, "Woe to the one who prays," so read the hadith, read the end of it, until it becomes clear to you.
