Valid excuses for offering Salah at home

Can I have the reference for this Hadith?

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“If a person hears the Adhan and does not go to the Masjid without a valid excuse, his Salah [performed alone] is not accepted. When the Sahabah asked as to what a valid excuse could be, he replied, ‘Illness or fear.’”

Answer:

Imam Abu Dawud (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 552. Also see: Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 793 and footnotes of Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah -hafizahullah- on Musannaf, Hadith: 3483)

Also see here and here.

Kindly refer to a reputable Mufti/Darul Ifta for a ruling on this issue.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
