Hadith #47
Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ أَوْ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ مَحْمُودٍ شَكَّ يَزِيدُ عَنْ عِتْبَانَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ وَبَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ هَذَا الْوَادِي وَالظُّلْمَةُ وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ فَيُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي فَأَتَّخِذَ مُصَلَّاهُ مُصَلًّى فَوَعَدَنِي أَنْ يَفْعَلَ فَجَاءَ هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَتَسَامَعَتْ بِهِ الْأَنْص
َارُ فَأَتَوْهُ وَتَخَلَّفَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ وَكَانَ يُزَنُّ بِالنِّفَاقِ فَاحْتَبَسُوا عَلَى طَعَامٍ فَتَذَاكَرُوا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالُوا مَا تَخَلَّفَ عَنَّا وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَارَنَا إِلَّا لِنِفَاقِهِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ وَيْحَهُ أَمَا شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ بِهَا مُخْلِصًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَ النَّارَ عَلَى مَنْ شَهِدَ بِهَا

English Translation
Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us, he said: Sufyān ibn Ḥusayn informed us, from al-Zuhrī, from Maḥmūd ibn al-Rabīʿ — or al-Rabīʿ ibn Maḥmūd (Yazīd was unsure) — from ʿItbān ibn Mālik who said: I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'I am a man with impaired vision, and between me and you is this valley and the darkness.' I asked him to come and pray in my house so I could take his prayer spot as my prayer place. He promised to do so. He came — he and Abū Bakr and ʿUmar. The Anṣār heard about it and came. A man among them called Mālik ibn al-Dukhshun stayed behind — he was suspected of hypocrisy. They were waiting over food and discussed among themselves. They said: 'He did not stay away though he knew the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ visited us, except out of hypocrisy.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was praying. When he finished, he said: 'Woe to him! Has he not testified that there is no deity but Allāh sincerely? For Allāh عز وجل has forbidden the Fire for whoever testifies to it.'
