Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from Mahmud bin al-Rabi', and he from Sayyiduna Itban bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Anas said: Later I met Itban (may Allah be pleased with him), and he himself narrated this hadith to me. I liked it very much, so I said to my son: "Write it down," and he wrote it. Sayyiduna Itban (may Allah be pleased with him), who had lost his sight, related: I said: "O Prophet of Allah, if only you would come to me and pray at my house in a place that I could take as a place of prayer (masjid)." He said: So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and began to pray, and his Companions began talking among themselves. He said: We mentioned the harm they suffered from the hypocrites, and they laid the greater part of it on Malik bin al-Dukhshum. They wanted to prompt the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to supplicate against him so that Allah would destroy him. So they said: "O Prophet of Allah, his affair is such-and-such." the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Does he not testify that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?" They said: "He only says that with his tongue; it has no hold in his heart." The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No one testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah and then Allah makes him enter the Fire," or he said: "and then the Fire consumes him, ever." Mu'tamir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: My father said: I heard it from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), and I have not narrated it to anyone.
