Messenger of Allah, I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people in prayer. When there is a downpour there is then a current (of water) in the valley that stands between me and them and I find it impossible to go to their mosque and lead them in prayer. Messenger of Allah, I earnestly beg of you that you should come and observe prayer at a place of worship (in my house) so that I should then use it as a place of worship. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Well, it God so wills. I would soon do so. 'Itban said: On the following day when the day dawned, the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) came along with Abu Bakr at-Siddiq, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked permission (to get into the house). I gave him the permission, and be did not sit after entering the house, when he said: At what place in your house you desire me to say prayer? I ('Itban b. Malik) said: I pointed to a corner in the house, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood (at that place for prayer) and pronounced Allah-o-Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) (as an expression for the commencement of prayer). We too stood behind him, and he said two rak'ahs and then pronounced salutation (marking the end of the prayer). We detained him (the Holy Prophet) for the meat curry we had prepared for, him. The people of the neighbouring houses came and thus there was a good gathering in (our house). One of them said: Where is Malik b. Dukhshun? Upon this one of them remarked: He is a hypocrite; he does not love Allah and His Messenger. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not say so about him. Don't you see that he utters La ilaha ill-Allah (There is no god but Allah) and seeks the pleasure of Allah through it? They said: Allah and His Messenger know beet. One (among the audience) said: We see his inclination and wellwishing for hypocrites only. Upon this the Messenger of Allah' ﷺ again said: Verily Allah has forbidden the Fire for one who says: There is no god but Allah, thereby seeking Allah's pleasure. Ibn Shihab said: I asked Husain b. Muhammad al-Ansar (he was one of the leaders of Banu Salim) about the hadith transmitted by Mahmud b. Rabi' and he testified it. (Using translation from Muslim 33c)

I remember Messenger of Allah ﷺ and also the mouthful of water which he took from a bucket in our house and ejected (on me). I heard from ʿItban bin Malik Al-Ansari, who was one from Bani Salim, saying, "I used to lead my tribe of Bani Salim in prayer. Once I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him, 'I have weak eyesight and at times the rainwater flood intervenes between me and the mosque of my tribe and I wish that you would come to my house and pray at some place so that I could take that place as a place for praying (mosque). He said, "Allah willing, I shall do that." Next day Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with Abu Bakr, came to my house after the sun had risen high and he asked permission to enter. I gave him permission, but he didn't sit till he said to me, "Where do you want me to pray in your house?" I pointed to a place in the house where I wanted him to pray. So he stood up for the prayer and we aligned behind him. He completed the prayer with Taslim and we did the same simultaneously."

who was one of the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and one of the Ansar's who took part in the battle of Badr: I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I wish you would come to my house and pray in it so that I could take that place as a Musalla. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. "Allah willing, I will do so." Next day after the sun rose high, Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr came and Messenger of Allah 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood there and said, 'Allahu Akbar', and we all got up and aligned behind him and offered a two-rakʿat 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, Messenger of Allah 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." Messenger of Allah 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."

who attended the Badr battle and was from the Ansar, that he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people in the prayer (as an Imam). When it rains, the valley which is between me and my people, flows with water, and then I cannot go to their mosque to lead them in the prayer. O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I wish that you could come and pray in my house so that I may take it as a praying place. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah willing, I will do that." The next morning, soon after the sun had risen, Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with Abu Bakr. The Prophet ﷺ asked for the permission to enter and I admitted him. The Prophet ﷺ had not sat till he had entered the house and said to me, "Where do you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed at a place in my house whereupon he stood and said, "Allahu Akbar." We lined behind him and he prayed two rakʿat and finished it with Taslim. We then requested him to stay for a special meal of Khazira which we had prepared. A large number of men from the adjoining area gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Malik bin Ad-Dukhshun?" Another man said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "Do not say so. Do you not think that he has said: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah," seeking Allah's pleasure? The man said, "Allah and His Apostle know better, but we have always seen him mixing with hypocrites and giving them advice." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah has forbidden the (Hell) Fire for those who testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, seeking Allah's pleasure. "

'Itban bin Malik As-Salimi who was the chief of his people Banu Salim and had participated in (the battle of) Badr with the Messenger of Allah said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my sight is failing and the flood comes and prevents me from reaching the mosque of my people, and it is too hard for me to cross the water. Do you think you could come and perform prayer in my house in a place which I can then take as a place of prayer?' He said: 'I will do that.' The following day, the Messenger of Allah and Abu Bakr came, when the heat of the day had grown intense. He asked permission to enter, and I gave him permission. He did not sit down until he said: 'Where would you like me to perform prayer for you in your house?' I showed him the place where I wanted him to pray, so the Messenger of Allah stood and we lined up behind him, and he led us in praying two Rak'ah (units). Then I asked him to stay and eat some Khazirah that had been prepared for them.'"

[Machine] That a man by the name of 'Utba complained of his eye, so he sent a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of what had afflicted him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, come and pray in my house so that I may make it a place of prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, and whoever among his companions Allah willed also came. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood to pray while his companions were talking amongst themselves, mentioning what they had encountered from the hypocrites. They attributed the blame to Malik ibn Dukhsham. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished praying and said, "Isn't it witnessed that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?" A person among them said, "Yes, it is witnessed, but not from the heart." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, the Hellfire shall not consume him." Or he said, "He shall not enter the Hellfire."

[Machine] He informed him that 'Utban ibn Malik, who was from the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and had participated in the Battle of Badr among the Ansar, came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have lost my eyesight, but I still pray for my people. When it rains, the valley between me and the mosque floods, and I cannot go to their mosque to pray for them. I wish that you, O Messenger of Allah, would come and pray in my house and make it a place of worship." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "I will do that." The next day, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr As-Siddiq entered the house when the day had brightened. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sought permission, and I granted him permission. He did not sit down until he entered the house, and then he said, "Where would you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed to a corner of the house. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood up, said the Takbir, and we stood behind him. He prayed two Rak'ahs and then said the Salam. We detained him in a corner which we made for him. Some men from the people of the house surrounded him until a large number of men gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Malik ibn Dukhshun?" Some of them said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to them, "Do not say that to him. Do you not see that he has said, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah,' seeking the Face of Allah with that?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best. We only see his face and his advice to the hypocrites." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, Allah, the Most Exalted and High, has forbidden the Fire for whoever says, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah,' seeking the Face of Allah with it."

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looking at me in my face with a hanging bucket in our house. Mahmud said, Abu Usamah narrated to me, he said, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my vision has become weak, and when the rain intensifies, the valley overflows and this hinders me from going to the mosque. If I prayed at home in a designated spot, would it be acceptable?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Yes, it would." So the next day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me with Abu Bakr and they sought permission, so I granted it to them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not sit until he said, "Where would you like me to pray in your house?" So I pointed him to a spot and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ walked ahead and we lined up behind him. He prayed two units of prayer and we confined the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to a small chamber that we made for him.

Messenger of Allah, I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people in prayer. When there is a downpour there is then a current (of water) in the valley that stands between me and them and I find it impossible to go to their mosque and lead them in prayer. Messenger of Allah, I earnestly beg of you that you should come and observe prayer at a place of worship (in my house) so that I should then use it as a place of worship. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Well, it God so wills. I would soon do so. 'Itban said: On the following day when the day dawned, the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) came along with Abu Bakr at-Siddiq, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked permission (to get into the house). I gave him the permission, and be did not sit after entering the house, when he said: At what place in your house you desire me to say prayer? I ('Itban b. Malik) said: I pointed to a corner in the house, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood (at that place for prayer) and pronounced Allah-o-Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) (as an expression for the commencement of prayer). We too stood behind him, and he said two rak'ahs and then pronounced salutation (marking the end of the prayer). We detained him (the Holy Prophet) for the meat curry we had prepared for, him. The people of the neighbouring houses came and thus there was a good gathering in (our house). One of them said: Where is Malik b. Dukhshun? Upon this one of them remarked: He is a hypocrite; he does not love Allah and His Messenger. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not say so about him. Don't you see that he utters La ilaha ill-Allah (There is no god but Allah) and seeks the pleasure of Allah through it? They said: Allah and His Messenger know beet. One (among the audience) said: We see his inclination and wellwishing for hypocrites only. Upon this the Messenger of Allah' ﷺ again said: Verily Allah has forbidden the Fire for one who says: There is no god but Allah, thereby seeking Allah's pleasure. Ibn Shihab said: I asked Husain b. Muhammad al-Ansar (he was one of the leaders of Banu Salim) about the hadith transmitted by Mahmud b. Rabi' and he testified it. (Using translation from Muslim 33c)

When it rains, the valley between me and them becomes filled, and I cannot go to their mosque, so I pray in my house. I wish, O Messenger of Allah, that you would come and pray in a designated place that I would establish as a place of prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will do so, if Allah wills." Itban said, "So, the next day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abu Bakr and Umar left when it was daylight. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked for permission to enter, and I gave him permission. He did not sit down until he entered the house. Then he said, 'Where would you like me to pray in your house?' So I pointed to a place in the house. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and uttered the Takbir (Allahu Akbar), and we stood up and formed a line and prayed two Rakahs. Then he gathered a number of people in the house and asked, 'Where is Malik bin Dukhshin?' Some of them said, 'He is a hypocrite who does not love Allah and His Messenger.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Do not say that. Do you not see that he testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, seeking thereby the Face of Allah?' Allah knows best, we only see his face and his statement directed towards the hypocrites.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, Allah has prohibited the Fire for anyone who says: 'There is none worthy of worship in truth but Allah,' seeking thereby the Face of Allah.' Muhammad bin Muslim said, 'Then I asked Husain bin Muhammad, one of the descendants of Salim, about the Hadith of Mahmud, and he confirmed it.'"

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي وَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي بِقَوْمِي فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْأَمْطَارُ سَالَ الْوَادِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ آتِي مَسْجِدَهُمْ فَأُصَلِّي لَهُمْ فَوَدِدْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فِي مُصَلًّى أَتَّخِذُهُ مُصَلًّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «سَأَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ» فَقَالَ عِتْبَانُ فَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ حَيْثُ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ قَالَ «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِكَ؟» فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَبَّرَ فَقُمْنَا فَصَفَفْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعَ فِي الْبَيْتِ ذُو عَدَدٍ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخَيْشِنِ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ ذَلِكَ مُنَافِقٌ لَا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ أَلَا تَرَاهُ قَدْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ إِنَّا نَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَنُصْحَتُهُ إِلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ النَّارَ عَلَى مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللهِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ «ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ الْحُصَيْنَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ أَحَدُ بَنِي سَالِمٍ مِنْ سَرَاتِهِمْ عَنْ حَدِيثِ مَحْمُودٍ فَصَدَّقَهُ»

[Machine] Verily, I understood a level of utmost understanding from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he drew water from a bucket in our house. Mahmoud said: 'It was narrated to me by 'Utbaan ibn Maalik who said: I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my eyesight has become weak and when the rain becomes intense and the valley overflows, it becomes difficult for me to reach the mosque of my people for prayer. So if I were to pray in my own house in a specific place, would that be considered a place of prayer?' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: 'Yes, it would be.' So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came to me the next day with Abu Bakr. They sought permission and I granted it to them. He did not sit down until he said: 'Where would you like me to pray in your house?' So I pointed to a corner, and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , advanced and we lined up behind him. He prayed two units of prayer with us, and we made a makeshift platform for the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ .

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I am having problems with my eyesight, and the flood comes and blocks the way between me and the mosque of my people. If you see it fit, can I come and pray in my house in a place that I designate as a prayer area?" He said, "Yes." The next day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr came to me after the day had become hot, and asked for permission to enter. I granted them permission, and he did not sit down until he asked me, "Where do you prefer that I pray for you in your house?" So I pointed to the place where I preferred him to pray. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, said takbeer, and we lined up behind him. He prayed two units of prayer for us.
