Do you hear the call?

Narrated by Abu Hurairah

A blind man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have no one to lead me to the masjid." He asked to be excused to pray in his house, and he excused him. When he turned away, he called him back and asked: "Do you hear the call to prayer?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then answer it."
