[Machine] When 'Utban ibn Malik was injured in his eye, he sent a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "I would like for you to come to me and pray in my house and ask for blessings for us." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up among a group of his companions and they went to him. They spoke amongst themselves and mentioned Malik ibn Dukhshum, and some of them said, "O Messenger of Allah, that is the cave of the hypocrites and their dwelling place. They frequent it a lot." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Doesn't he pray?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, but it is a prayer that has no good in it." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have forbidden the killing of those who pray," repeating it twice.
لَمَّا أُصِيبَ عِتْبَانُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فِي بَصَرِهِ بَعَثَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي فَتُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي وَتَدْعُوَ لَنَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَتَحَدَّثُوا بَيْنَهُمْ فَذَكَرُوا مَالِكَ بْنَ الدُّخْشُمِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَاكَ كَهْفُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَوَلَيْسَ يُصَلِّي؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَاةً لَا خَيْرَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَهَيْتُ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمُصَلِّينَ» مَرَّتَيْنِ
