[1496] 263 - (33) It was narrated from Ibn Shihâb that Mahmûd bin Ar-Rabî Al-Anshârî told him that 'Itbân bin Mâlik - who was one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and had been present at (the battle of) Badr, and was one of the Anshâr - came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, I have lost my eyesight, and I lead my people in prayer, but when it rains, the valley between them and I gets flooded, and I cannot get to their Masjid to lead them in prayer. O Messenger of Allâh, I would like you to come and pray in a place that I may take as a prayer place." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "I will do that, if Allâh wills."
'Itbân said: "The next day, when the sun was fully up, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and Abû Bakr Aş-Şiddîq went to him. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ asked for permission to enter and permission was given to him, and he did not sit, rather he said:
'Where in your house would you like me to pray?' I pointed to a corner of the house, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood and said the Takbîr, and we stood behind him. He prayed two Rak'ah then said the Salâm. Then we asked him to stay and eat some Khazîr[1] that we had made for him. Men from the surrounding houses came to us, until a large number of men had gathered in the house. One of them said: 'Where is Mâlik bin Ad-Dukhshun?' One of them said: 'He is a hypocrite who does not love Allâh and His Messenger.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Do not say that. Do you not see that he has said Lâ ilâha illallâh, seeking thereby the Face of Allâh?' They said: 'Allâh and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'But we see that he is sincere towards the hypocrites.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Allâh has forbidden to the Fire everyone who says Lâ ilâha illallâh seeking thereby the Face of Allâh.'
Ibn Shihâb said: "Then I asked Al-Hûshain bin Muḥammad Al-Anṣârî, who is one of Banû Sâlim, and one of their leaders, about the Hadîth of Maḥmûd bin Ar-Rabî, and he confirmed it to be true.

263 - (33) حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ مَحْمُودَ بْنَ الرَّبِيعِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ - وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ - أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي، وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي لِقَوْمِي، وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْأَمْطَارُ سَالَ الْوَادِي الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنَّ آتِيَ مَسْجِدَهُمْ فَأُصَلِّيَ لَهُمْ، وَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تَأْتِي فَتُصَلِّي فِي مُصَلًّى، فَأَتَّخِذَهُ مُصَلًّى، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «سَأَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ»، قَالَ عِتْبَانُ: فَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ، فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّي مِنْ بَيْتِكَ؟» قَالَ: فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَبَّرَ، فَقُمْنَا وَرَاءَهُ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، قَالَ: وَحَبَسْنَاهُ عَلَى خَزِيرٍ صَنَعْنَاهُ لَهُ، قَالَ: فَثَابَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ حَوْلَنَا حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ فِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ ذَوُو عَدَدٍ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ: أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: ذَلِكَ مُنَافِقٌ، لَا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقُلْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، أَلَا تَرَاهُ قَدْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ؟» قَالَ: قَالُوا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: فَإِنَّمَا نَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَنَصِيحَتَهُ لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ " قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ الْحُصَيْنَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، وَهُوَ أَحَدُ بَنِي سَالِمٍ، وَهُوَ مِنْ سَرَاتِهِمْ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، فَصَدَّقَهُ بِذَلِكَ،
