The answer

The aforementioned (prophetic tradition) was not found with its exact wording. However, there is a muttafaq alayh (agreed upon) hadith with a similar meaning from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to command the mu'adhin (caller to prayer) on a cold or rainy night during travel to say: "Perform (prayer) in your dwellings." A narration was mentioned with the wording: "If sandals become wet, then pray in your homes," but Al-Hafiz said he did not see it in hadith books, and Taj al-Din al-Fazzari said he did not find it in the original sources.
