Hadith 1095:1
'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Mahmud ibn al-Rabi' narrated to me, from 'Itban ibn Malik, who said: I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and said: "My eyesight has failed me, and the floods come between me and my mosque. I would love for you to come and pray in my house in a place I would designate as a mosque." The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "I shall do so, if Allah wills." He said: So he passed by Abu Bakr and asked him to follow him, and he went with him. He asked for permission and entered upon me, and he said while standing: "Where do you want me to pray?" I pointed out to him where I wanted. He said: Then I detained him for a *khazir* (a dish made of flour and meat) that we had prepared for him. The people of the valley—meaning the people of the house—heard, and they flocked to him until the house was filled. A man said: "Where is Malik ibn al-Dukhayshin?" (or he may have said: Malik ibn al-Dukhayshan). A man said: "That is a hypocrite who does not love Allah or His Messenger." The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Do not say that. Does he not say: 'There is no god but Allah,' seeking thereby the Face of Allah?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, as for us, we see his face and his speech directed toward the hypocrites." The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said again: "Do not say that. Does he not say: 'There is no god but Allah,' seeking thereby the Face of Allah?" He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "For no servant will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection saying: 'There is no god but Allah,' seeking thereby the Face of Allah, but that the Fire will be forbidden to him." Mahmud said: I narrated this hadith to a group of people, among whom was Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. He said: "I do not think the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said what you said." He said: So I swore that if I returned to 'Itban, I would ask him. I returned to him and found him an old man who had lost his sight, and he was the imam of his people. I sat by his side and asked him about this hadith, and he narrated it to me just as he had narrated it to me the first time. Ma'mar said: When al-Zuhri would narrate this hadith, he would say: "Then obligatory duties and matters were revealed, and we believe that the matter ended with them; so whoever is able not to be deceived, let him not be deceived."
حدثنا عبد الرزاق، أخبرنا معمر، عن الزهري، قال : حدثني محمود بن الربيع، عن عتبان بن مالك، قال: أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت: إني قد أنكرت بصري، والسيول تحول بيني وبين مسجدي، فلوددت أنك جئت فصليت في بيتي مكانا أتخذه مسجدا، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أفعل إن شاء الله " قال: فمر على أبي بكر فاستتبعه، فانطلق معه، فاستأذن فدخل علي، فقال وهو قائم: " أين تريد أن أصلي؟ " فأشرت له حيث أريد، قال: ثم حبسته على خزير صنعناه له، فسمع أهل الوادي، يعني أهل الدار، فثابوا إليه، حتى امتلأ البيت، فقال رجل: أين مالك بن الدخشن؟ وربما قال: مالك بن الدخيشن، فقال رجل: ذاك رجل منافق لا يحب الله ولا رسوله، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " ألا تقول : هو يقول: لا إله إلا الله يبتغي بذلك وجه الله " قال: يا رسول الله أما نحن فنرى وجهه وحديثه إلى المنافقين فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أيضا: " لا تقول: هو يقول: لا إله إلا الله يبتغي بذلك وجه الله "، قال: بلى يا رسول الله قال: " فلن يوافي عبد يوم القيامة يقول: لا إله إلا الله يبتغي بذلك وجه الله إلا حرم على النار " قال محمود: فحدثت بهذا الحديث نفرا فيهم أبو أيوب الأنصاري فقال: ما أظن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ما قلت قال: فآليت إن رجعت إلى عتبان أن أسأله فرجعت إليه فوجدته شيخا كبيرا قد ذهب بصره وهو إمام قومه، فجلست إلى جنبه، فسألته عن هذا الحديث فحدثنيه كما حدثنيه أول مرة. قال معمر: فكان الزهري إذا حدث بهذا الحديث قال: " ثم نزلت فرائض وأمور نرى أن الأمر انتهى إليها فمن استطاع أن لا يغتر فلا يغتر "
