وَحَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ، صَاحِبُ الزِّيَادِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ فِي يَوْمٍ مَطِيرٍ . فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ وَقَالَ وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ تَمْشُوا فِي الدَّحْضِ وَالزَّلَلِ .

Ibn 'Abbas commanded the Mu'adhdhin to (summon the people to prayer on Friday and make announcement to say prayer in their houses) when it was rainy, and the rest of the hadith is the same (except this) that he said: I do not like you should walk in muddy slippery place.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 699d
This Hadith reports that Ibn 'Abbas commanded the Mu'adhdhin to call people on a rainy Friday and announce that they should pray in their houses. The rest of the meaning is like the related narration, but this version highlights his words: he did not like that people should walk in muddy and slippery places. The core topic is prayer ease during rain, especially on Friday. The Hadith does not deny the place of prayer or the value of Jumu'ah in the wider report. It focuses on the hardship of mud and slipping. For people searching for the hadith about Jumu'ah in rain, this narration clearly shows care for people's safety and comfort in wet conditions.
