حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ هُرَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ عِتْبَانَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: لَقِيتُ عِتْبَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَحَدَّثَنِي بِحَدِيثٍ أَعْجَبَنِي، فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِي: اكْتُبْهُ فَكَتَبَهُ، قَالَ: وَقَدْ كَانَ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، لَوْ أَتَيْتَنِي فَصَلَّيْتُ، عِنْدِي فِي مَكَانٍ أَتَّخِذُهُ مَسْجِدًا، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي، وَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابَهُ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرُوا مَا يَلْقُونَ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ مِنَ الْأَذَى، فَحَمَلُوا عُظْمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَالِكِ بْنِ الدُّخْشُمِ، فَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُمْ أَنْ يَحْمِلُوا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَدْعُو عَلَيْهِ فَيَهْلَكَ، فَقَالُوا: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ» قَالُوا: إِنَّمَا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ بِلِسَانِهِ، وَلَيْسَ لَهُ حَقِيقَةٌ فِي قَلْبِهِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لَا يَشْهَدُ أَحَدٌ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَيُدْخِلُهُ اللَّهُ النَّارَ - أَوْ قَالَ - فَتَطْعَمُهُ النَّارُ أَبَدًا» قَالَ الْمُعْتَمِرُ: قَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَنَسٍ وَمَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ أَحَدًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mahmud bin al-Rabi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he met Sayyiduna Itban bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who narrated to him a hadith that pleased him greatly, whereupon he said to his son: "Write it down." Sayyiduna Itban bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) (who had lost his eyesight) said: I said: "O Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! If only you would come to my house and pray in some spot in my home, so that I could take it as my place of prayer (masjid)." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and began leading the prayer. Meanwhile his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) began talking among themselves and mentioning the harm that reached them from the hypocrites. They laid the greater part of it on Sayyiduna Malik bin al-Dukhshum (may Allah be pleased with him), and they wanted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to pray against him so that he would perish. They said: "O Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! His affair is such and such." The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Does he not bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah?" They said: "He says it only with his tongue, and there is no reality of it in his heart." Then the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever bears witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, Allah Almighty will not put him into the Fire of Hell - or he (peace and blessings be upon him) said - the Fire will never consume him." Mu'tamir (may Allah have mercy on him) said that (Sulayman bin al-Mughirah (may Allah have mercy on him)) said: "I heard this hadith from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), and he had not narrated it to anyone (before that)."
