[Machine] He informed him that 'Itban bin Malik, who was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the Ansar, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have weak eyesight and I pray with my people. 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.'"
