Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ شَاسِعُ الدَّارِ وَلِي قَائِدٌ لاَ يُلاَئِمُنِي فَهَلْ لِي رُخْصَةٌ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي قَالَ ‏"‏ هَلْ تَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ أَجِدُ لَكَ رُخْصَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from ʿAsim ibn Bahdalah, from Abu Razin, from Ibn Umm Maktum, who asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): ‘Messenger of Allah, I am blind, my home is far away, and I have a guide who is not suitable for me. Am I allowed to pray in my home?’ He asked: ‘Can you hear the call?’ He replied: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘I find no concession for you.’
