English translation
[1497] 264 - (...) It was narrated that 'Itbân bin Mâlik said: "I came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ..." and he quoted a Hadîth like that of Yûnus (no. 1496), except that he said: "A man said: 'Where is Mâlik bin Ad-Dukhshun' or 'Ad-Dukhaishin?'" And he added in his Hadîth: "Mahmûd said: 'I narrated this Hadîth to a group of people among whom was Abû Ayyûb Al-Anshârî, and he said: I do not think that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said what you said. He said: 'I swore that if I went back to 'Itbân I would ask him. So I went back to him and I found him an old man who had lost his eyesight, and he was the Imâm of his people. I sat beside him and asked him about this Hadîth, and he narrated it to me as he had narrated it the first time.'"
