The reason the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not excuse Ibn Umm Maktum

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
up to the last thing. By the guidance of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

Answer:
Beautiful. How did your Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) not know Ibn Umm Maktum, given that it is weak to say he was in the congregation again? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not consider it an excuse for him, because Ibn Umm Maktum, and Allah knows best, could have sought a guide for himself. He could have sought a guide for himself, and if he had a guide with him, the excuses would be removed: the fear of wild beasts, the fear of insects, and falling into pits. If it were not for the fact that, and Allah knows best, Ibn Umm Maktum had the ability to seek a guide, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have prevented him from praying in the house. This is what appears to be the case, and Allah knows best.
