Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Abu Usamah narrated to us, from Za'idah, from 'Asim, from Abu Razin, from Ibn Umm Maktum, who said: I said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), ‘I am elderly, blind, and live far away. I have no guide who can accompany me. Can you grant me a concession?’ He said: ‘Can you hear the call?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘I find no concession for you.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The narrator lists age, blindness, distance, and lack of an accompanying guide as his circumstances; the Prophet's reply conditions the response on his hearing the call.
