What is the practical Sunnah regarding calling people not to come to the congregation in the mosque due to heavy rain?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The first question: What is the practical Sunnah regarding calling people not to come to the congregation in the mosque due to heavy rain or snow?
Answer: It is reported in "Musnad al-Imam Ahmad" that a man woke up one morning, I have forgotten now whether it was due to severe cold or rain, and he wished to find a dispensation not to go to the mosque. Before he could finish this thought, he heard the mu'adhdhin saying in his adhan: "Pray in your homes, pray in your homes." The narrations come in two forms; some state it is said in the adhan, meaning: "Hasten to prayer, hasten to success, pray in your homes," while others state it is said after completing the adhan: "Pray in your homes, pray in your homes." This is with regard to the first question.

Eid Abbasi : Are both of them authentic?

The Shaykh : Yes, the practical Sunnah in calling people not to come to the congregation in the mosque due to heavy rain or snow is that they should not come, but I draw your attention to the fact that the Sunnah does not call for people not to come; there is a very big difference between what the question included and... the Sunnah. The Sunnah is: Pray in your homes.

The questioner : It is a dispensation.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : A dispensation, you mean?

The Shaykh : A dispensation. As for not coming to the mosque, I do not think that is in the Sunnah.
Yes.
