What is the authenticity of the saying that there is no prayer for a neighbor of the mosque except in the mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith:
There is no prayer for a neighbor of the mosque except in the mosqueلا صلاة لجار المسجد إلا في المسجد
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:592
?

Answer:
It is known that it is weak, but it is preserved from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). However, the authentic hadith:
If anyone hears the summons and does not respond to it, he is not credited with having prayed unless he has some excuse.من سمع النداء فلم يجبه فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
Mishkat al-Masabih 1077
suffices for it. And his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to the blind man when he said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have no guide to lead me to the mosque. Do I have a dispensation to pray in my house?" He said:
Do you hear the call to prayer?هل تسمع النداء بالصلاة
Sahih Muslim 653
? He said: Yes. He said:
Then respond.فأجب
And he is blind and has no guide; it is obligatory for him to pray even if he is not a neighbor, as long as he hears the call to prayer.
