Hadith No: 52
Narrated/Authority of Itban bin Malik
that he
came to Medina and said: Something had gone wrong with my
eyesight. I, therefore, sent (a message to the Holy Prophet):
Verily it is my ardent desire that you should kindly grace my
house with your presence and observe prayer there so, that I
should make that corner a place of worship. He said: The
Prophet (may peace be upon him) came there, and those amongst
the Companions whom Allah willed also accompanied him. He
entered (my place) and offered prayer at my residence and his
Companions began to talk amongst themselves (and this
conversation centered round hypocrites), and then the
conspicuous one, Malik b. Dukhshum was made the target and
they wished that he (the Holy Prophet) should curse him and he
should die or he should meet some calamity. In the meanwhile
the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him)
completed his prayer and said: Does Malik b. Dukhshum not
testify the fact that there is no god but Allah and verily I
am the messenger of Allah. They replied: He makes a profession
of it (no doubt) but does not do it out of (sincere) heart. He
(the Holy Prophet) said: He who testifies that there is no god
but Allah and I am the messenger of Allah would not enter Hell
or its (flames) would not consume him. Anas said: This hadith
impressed me very much and I told my son to write it down.
