Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I hope you will pause with this hadith, so what can we benefit from it in our present time? And indeed, a man used to be brought in, supported between two men, to be placed in the row.

Answer:
This is regarding the eagerness of the Salaf for the congregational prayer. He said, and this statement was for 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud:
If you were to pray in your houses as this man why stays away (from the mosque) prays in his house, you would abandon the practice of your Prophet, and if you were toولو أنكم صليتم في بيوتكم كما يصلي هذا المتخلف في بيته لتركتم سنة نبيكم، ولو تركتم
Sahih Muslim 654b
And indeed, a man used to be brought in, supported between two men, if he was unable to walk or was heavy, until he was placed in the row. This is from their eagerness for the congregational prayer, attending the congregational prayer. Yes.
