5401. Narrated Itbān bin Mālik, who witnessed the Badr Battle and was from the Anṣār, that he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people in the Ṣalāt (prayer) (as an Imām). When it rains, the valley which is between me and my people, flows with water, and then I cannot go to their mosque to lead them in the Ṣalāt
(prayer). O Allāh's Messenger ! I wish that you could come and offer Salāt (prayer) in my house so that I may take it as a praying place. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If Allāh will, I will do that." The next morning, soon after the sun had risen, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came with Abū Bakr. The Prophet ﷺ asked for the permission to enter and I admitted him. The Prophet ﷺ had not sit till he had entered the house and said to me, "Where do you like me to offer Salāt (prayer) in your house?" I pointed at a place in my house whereupon he stood and said, "Allāhu Akbar." We lined behind him and he offered two Rak'āt and finished it with Taslīm. We then requested him to stay for a special meal of Khazīra which we had prepared. A large number of men from the adjoining area gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Mālik bin Ad-Dukhshun?" Another man said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allāh and His Messenger." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not say so. Haven't you seen that he has said : Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) seeking Allāh's Countenance (i.e. for Allāh's sake only)? The man said, "Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ know better, but we have always seen him mixing with hypocrites and giving them advice." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh has forbidden the (Hell) Fire for those who testify that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) seeking Allāh's Countenance (i.e. for Allāh's sake only)." (See H. 425)

5401 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَحْمُودُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ: أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي، وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي لِقَوْمِي، فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الأَمْطَارُ سَالَ الوَادِي الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ، لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ آتِيَ مَسْجِدَهُمْ فَأُصَلِّيَ لَهُمْ، فَوَدِدْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَّكَ تَأْتِي فَتُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي فَأَتَّخِذُهُ مُصَلًّى، فَقَالَ: «سَأَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ» قَالَ عِتْبَانُ: فَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ، فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى دَخَلَ البَيْتَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ؟» فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ البَيْتِ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَبَّرَ فَصَفَفْنَا، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، وَحَبَسْنَاهُ عَلَى خَزِيرٍ صَنَعْنَاهُ، فَثَابَ فِي البَيْتِ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ ذَوُو عَدَدٍ فَاجْتَمَعُوا، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ: أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: ذَلِكَ مُنَافِقٌ، لاَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لاَ تَقُلْ، أَلاَ تَرَاهُ قَالَ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ؟ " قَالَ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: فَإِنَّا نَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَنَصِيحَتَهُ إِلَى المُنَافِقِينَ، فَقَالَ: " فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ " قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ الحُصَيْنَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، أَحَدَ بَنِي سَالِمٍ، وَكَانَ مِنْ سَرَاتِهِمْ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ مَحْمُودٍ، فَصَدَّقَهُ
