[Machine] He said that Itban ibn Malik lost his eyesight during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he sent a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , saying: "I am unable to pray with you in your mosque, but I would love for you to pray with me in my mosque. So complete your prayer and come to him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then went to him, and they mentioned Malik ibn Dukhshum, saying: "That is the cave of the hypocrites, or the people of hypocrisy, and their shelter to which they seek refuge." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Does he testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger?" They said: "Yes." He said: "There is no goodness in his testimony if it is not testified to truthfully from the heart. If a servant (of Allah) testifies to this and dies, then he will be forbidden from the Fire."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أُصِيبَ بَصَرُهُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكَ فِي مَسْجِدِكَ وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعِي فِي مَسْجِدِي فَآتَمُّ بِصَلَاتِكَ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرُوا مَالِكَ بْنَ الدُّخْشُمِ قَالُوا ذَلِكَ كَهْفُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ أَوْ قَالَ أَهْلُ النِّفَاقِ وَمَلْجَؤُهُمُ الَّذِي يَلْجَؤُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمَعْقِلُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي شَهَادَتِهِ قَالَ «لَا يَشْهَدُهَا عَبْدٌ صَادِقًا مِنْ قِبَلِ قَلْبِهِ فَيَمُوتُ إِلَّا حُرِّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ»
