رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 425. Narrated 'Iṭbān bin Mālik رضي الله عنه who was one of the Companions of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and one of the Anṣār who took part in the battle of Badr: I came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger, I have weak eyesight and I lead my people in Ṣalāt (prayers). When it rains the water flows in the valley between me and my people so I cannot go to their mosque to lead them in Ṣalāt. O Allāh's Messenger! I wish you would come to my house and offer Ṣalāt in it so that I could take that place as a Muṣallā (appointed place for Ṣalāt)." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "If Allāh will, I will do so." Next day after the sun rose high, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and Abū Bakr came and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked for permission to enter. I gave him permission and he did not sit on entering the house but said to me, "Where do you like me to offer Ṣalāt?" I pointed to a place in my house. So Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood there and said Allāhu Akbar, and we all got up and aligned behind him and offered a two-Rak'ā prayer and ended it with Taṣlīm. We requested him to stay for a meal called Khaẓira which we had prepared for him. Many members of our family gathered in the house and one of them said, "Where is Mālik bin Ad-Dukhaishin or Ibn Ad-Dukhshun?" One of them replied, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allāh and His Messenger." Hearing that, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Do not say so. Haven't you seen that he said, "Lā ilāha illallāh" (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh), for seeking Allāh's Countenance (i.e. for Allāh's sake only)?" He said, "Allāh and His Messenger know better. We have seen him helping and advising hypocrites." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Allāh has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who say "Lā ilāha illallāh" (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) for seeking Allāh's Countenance (i.e. for Allāh's sake only)."

425 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَحْمُودُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي، وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي لِقَوْمِي فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الأَمْطَارُ سَالَ الوَادِي الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ، لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ آتِيَ مَسْجِدَهُمْ فَأُصَلِّيَ بِهِمْ، وَوَدِدْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَّكَ تَأْتِينِي فَتُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي، فَأَتَّخِذَهُ مُصَلًّى، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «سَأَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ» قَالَ عِتْبَانُ: فَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ، فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى دَخَلَ البَيْتَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ» قَالَ: فَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ البَيْتِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَبَّرَ، فَقُمْنَا فَصَفَّنَا فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، قَالَ وَحَبَسْنَاهُ عَلَى خَزِيرَةٍ صَنَعْنَاهَا لَهُ، قَالَ: فَآبَ فِي البَيْتِ، رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ ذَوُو عَدَدٍ، فَاجْتَمَعُوا، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ: أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخَيْشِنِ أَوِ ابْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: ذَلِكَ مُنَافِقٌ لاَ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لاَ تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ، أَلاَ تَرَاهُ قَدْ قَالَ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ " قَالَ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: فَإِنَّا نَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَنَصِيحَتَهُ إِلَى المُنَافِقِينَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ " قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ الحُصَيْنَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ - وَهُوَ أَحَدُ بَنِي سَالِمٍ - وَهُوَ مِنْ سَرَاتِهِمْ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ: «فَصَدَّقَهُ بِذَلِكَ»
