\nNarrated `Itban bin Malik:\n \n\nwho was one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one of the Ansar's who took part in the battle \nof Badr: I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I have weak eyesight and I lead my \npeople in prayers. When it rains the water flows in the valley between me and my people so I cannot \ngo to their mosque to lead them in prayer. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish you would come to my house and \npray in it so that I could take that place as a Musalla. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. "Allah willing, I will do \nso." Next day after the sun rose high, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr came and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked \nfor permission to enter. I gave him permission and he did not sit on entering the house but said to me, \n"Where do you like me to pray?" I pointed to a place in my house. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood there and \nsaid, 'Allahu Akbar', and we all got up and aligned behind him and offered a two-rak`at prayer and \nended it with Taslim. We requested him to stay for a meal called "Khazira" which we had prepared for \nhim. Many members of our family gathered in the house and one of them said, "Where is Malik bin \nAl-Dukhaishin or Ibn Al-Dukhshun?" One of them replied, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah \nand His Apostle." Hearing that, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not say so. Haven't you seen that he said, \n'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah' for Allah's sake only?" He said, "Allah and His \nApostle know better. We have seen him helping and advising hypocrites." \nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who say, 'None has the right to be \nworshipped but Allah' for Allah's sake only."\n
