[Machine] Indeed, 'Itban ibn Malik lost his eyesight during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am unable to pray with you in your mosque, but I would love for you to pray with me in my mosque. So, come and perform your prayer there." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to him, and they mentioned Malik ibn Dukhshum and said, "That is the cave of the hypocrites, and it is their refuge and stronghold." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Does he not bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger?" They said, "Yes, but there is no goodness in his testimony." He said, "A servant who testifies sincerely from his heart will never die until Allah has forbidden him from the Fire."
إِنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أُصِيبَ بَصَرُهُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكَ فِي مَسْجِدِكِ وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعِيَ فِي مَسْجِدِي فَأَئْتَمَّ بِصَلَاتِكَ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرُوا مَالِكَ بْنَ الدُّخْشُمِ فَقَالُوا ذَاكَ كَهْفُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَمَلْجَؤُهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَلْجَئُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمَعْقَلُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي شَهَادَتِهِ فَقَالَ «لَا يَشْهَدُهَا عَبْدٌ صَادِقٌ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ فَيَمُوتُ إِلَّا حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ عَلَى النَّارِ»
