Narrated `Itban bin Malik:who was one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one of the Ansars who took part in the battle of Badr: I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ)! I wish you would come to my house and pray in it so that I could take that place as a Musalla. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. "Allah willing, I will do so." Next day after the sun rose high, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr came and Allah'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 pray?" I pointed to a place in my house. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 bin Al-Dukhaishin or Ibn Al-Dukhshun?" One of them replied, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle." Hearing that, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 Apostle know better. We have seen him helping and advising hypocrites." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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

حدثنا سعيد بن عفير، قال حدثني الليث، قال حدثني عقيل، عن ابن شهاب، قال اخبرني محمود بن الربيع الانصاري، ان عتبان بن مالك وهو من اصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ممن شهد بدرا من الانصار انه اتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله، قد انكرت بصري، وانا اصلي لقومي، فاذا كانت الامطار سال الوادي الذي بيني وبينهم، لم استطع ان اتي مسجدهم فاصلي بهم، ووددت يا رسول الله انك تاتيني فتصلي في بيتي، فاتخذه مصلى. قال فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " سافعل ان شاء الله ". قال عتبان فغدا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وابو بكر حين ارتفع النهار، فاستاذن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاذنت له، فلم يجلس حتى دخل البيت ثم قال " اين تحب ان اصلي من بيتك ". قال فاشرت له الى ناحية من البيت، فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فكبر، فقمنا فصفنا، فصلى ركعتين ثم سلم، قال وحبسناه على خزيرة صنعناها له. قال فثاب في البيت رجال من اهل الدار ذوو عدد فاجتمعوا، فقال قايل منهم اين مالك بن الدخيشن او ابن الدخشن فقال بعضهم ذلك منافق لا يحب الله ورسوله. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لا تقل ذلك، الا تراه قد قال لا اله الا الله. يريد بذلك وجه الله ". قال الله ورسوله اعلم. قال فانا نرى وجهه ونصيحته الى المنافقين. قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " فان الله قد حرم على النار من قال لا اله الا الله. يبتغي بذلك وجه الله ". قال ابن شهاب ثم سالت الحصين بن محمد الانصاري وهو احد بني سالم وهو من سراتهم عن حديث محمود بن الربيع، فصدقه بذلك
