Sahih Al Bukhari (424)

عن عتبان بن مالك، وهو من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ممن شهد بدرا من الأنصار: أنه أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: يا رسول الله، قد أنكرت بصري، وأنا أصلي لقومي، فإذا كانت الأمطار، سال الوادي الذي بيني وبينهم، لم أستطع أن آتي مسجدهم فأصلي بهم، ووددت يا رسول الله، أنك تأتيني فتصلي في بيتي، فأتخذه مصلى، قال: فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: (سأفعل إن شاء الله). قال عتبان: فغدا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأبو بكر حين ارتفع النهار، فاستأذن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأذنت له، فلم يجلس حتى دخل البيت، ثم قال: (أين تحب أن أصلي من بيتك). قال: فأشرت إلى ناحية من البيت، فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فكبر، فقمنا فصصفنا، فصلى ركعتين ثم سلم، قال: وحبسناه على خزيرة صنعناها له، قال: فثاب في البيت رجال من أهل الدار ذوو عدد، فاجتمعوا، فقال قائل منهم: أين مالك بن الدخيش أو ابن الدخيش؟ فقال بعضه: ذلك منافق لا يحب الله ورسوله، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: (لا تقل ذلك، ألا تراه قد قال لا إله إلا الله، يريد بذلك وجه الله). قال: الله ورسوله أعلم، قال: فإنا نرى وجهه ونصحيته إلى المنافقين، قال رسول الله (فإن الله قد حرم على النار من قال لا إله إلا الله يبتغي بذلك وجه الله}.

`Itban ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) who was one of the companions of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and one of the Ansars who took part in the battle of Badr narrated: I came to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) I have weak eyesight and I lead my people in 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 prayer. O Allah’s Messenger! I wish you would come to my house and pray in it so that I could take that place as a Musalla (praying place). Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said. “Allah willing, I will do so.” Next day after the sun rose high, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr came and Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) 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 pray?” I pointed to a place in my house. So Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) stood there and said, ‘Allahu Akbar’, and we all got up and aligned behind him and offered a two-Rak‘at prayer and ended it with Taslim. We requested him to stay for a meal called “Khazira” which we had prepared for him. Many members of our family gathered in the house and one of them said, “Where is Malik ibn Al-Dukhaishin or Ibn Al-Dukhshun?” One of them replied: “He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Messenger.” Hearing that, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “Do not say so. Haven’t you seen that he said, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’ for Allah’s sake only?” He said, “Allah and His Messenger know better. We have seen him helping and advising hypocrites.” Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who say, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’ for Allah’s sake only.”
