It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mahmud bin al-Rabi' (may Allah be pleased with him): When I came to Madinah, I met Sayyiduna Itban bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). I said to him that a hadith had reached me from him, and he related: "Something went wrong with my eyesight, so I sent word to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): 'It is my heart's wish that you come to me and pray in my house, so that I may take that spot as a permanent place of prayer.'" He said: "So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me with such of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) as Allah willed, entered my house and began to pray. Meanwhile the Companions began talking among themselves, and then they turned the whole of their talk towards Sayyiduna Malik bin al-Dukhshum (may Allah be pleased with him). They were wishing that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray against him so that he would perish, or that some painful illness would befall him. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he asked: 'Does he not bear witness that La ilaha illallah, wa anni Rasulullah (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah)?' The Companions said: 'He does say it, but it is not in his heart.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'There is no servant who bears witness that La ilaha illallah, wa anni Rasulullah (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah), and then enters the Fire or is consumed by the Fire.'" Sayyiduna Mahmud bin al-Rabi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This hadith pleased me greatly, so I said to my son: 'Write it down,' and he wrote it."

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)."
