51 - Chapter on Hope

وَعَنْ عِتْبَانَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي لِقَوْمِي بِبَنِي سَالِمٍ، وَكَانَ يَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَادٍ إِذَا جَاءَتِ الْأَمْطَارُ، فَيَشُقُّ عَلَيَّ اجْتِيَازُهُ قِبَلَ مَسْجِدِهِمْ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنِّي أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي وَإِنَّ الْوَادِيَ الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِي يَسِيلُ إِذَا جَاءَتِ الْأَمْطَارُ فَيَشُقُّ عَلَيَّ اجْتِيَازُهُ، فَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ تَأْتِي فَتُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي مَكَانًا أَتَّخِذُهُ مُصَلًّى، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «سَأَفْعَلُ»، فَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَعْدَ مَا اشْتَدَّ النَّهَارُ، وَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ، فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى قَالَ: «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ؟» فَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي أُحِبُّ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَبَّرَ وَصَفَفْنَا وَرَاءَهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَسَلَّمْنَا حِينَ سَلَّمَ، فَحَبَسْتُهُ عَلَى خَزِيرَةٍ تُصْنَعُ لَهُ، فَسَمِعَ أَهْلُ الدَّارِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي، فَثَابَ رِجَالٌ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى كَثُرَ الرِّجَالُ فِي الْبَيْتِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: مَا فَعَلَ مَالِكٌ لَا أَرَاهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: ذَلِكَ مُنَافِقٌ لَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ، أَلَا تَرَاهُ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى؟» فَقَالَ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَرَى وُدَّهُ وَلَا حَدِيثَهُ إِلَّا إِلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ» مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ.

417 - Itban bin Malik, who fought at Badr, reported: I used to lead my people in prayer at Bani Salim. A valley lay between us that would flood when it rained, making it difficult for me to cross over to their mosque. I went to the Messenger of Allah and said, "My eyesight has failed me, and when the rains come, that valley floods, making it hard for me to cross. I would like you to come and pray in my house at a spot I can designate as a place of prayer." The Messenger of Allah replied, "I will do so." He and Abu Bakr arrived after the day had grown hot. The Messenger of Allah asked permission to enter, and I granted it. He did not sit down but asked, "Where in your house would you like me to pray?" I pointed to the spot. He stood, said the Takbir, and we lined up behind him. He prayed two rak'ahs and finished with the taslim, and we followed suit. I kept him there for a meal of khazirah that was being prepared for him. Word spread that the Messenger of Allah was in my house, and men began to gather until the house was full. One man asked, "Where is Malik? I do not see him." Another replied, "He is a hypocrite who does not love Allah or His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah said, "Do not say that. Have you not seen that he says, 'There is no god but Allah,' seeking only the Face of Allah?" The man replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best. By Allah, we see his affection and his speech directed only toward the hypocrites." The Messenger of Allah said, "Allah has forbidden the Fire to anyone who says, 'There is no god but Allah,' seeking by that the Face of Allah." Agreed upon.

«وَعِتْبَانُ»: بِكَسْرِ الْعَيْنِ الْمُهْمَلَةِ وَإِسْكَانِ التَّاءِ الْمُثَنَّاةِ فَوْقُ وَبَعْدَهَا بَاءٌ مُوَحَّدَةٌ.

'Itban: the 'ayn has a kasra, the ta has a sukun, followed by a ba.
