Muwatta' Malik 9-94

Translation

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Mahmud ibn Rabi al-Ansari that Utban ibn Malik, who was a blind man, used to lead his people in prayer, and he said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ "Sometimes it is dark and rainy and there is a lot of water around outside, and I am a man who has lost his sight. Messenger of Allah, pray in a certain place in my house so that I can take it as a place to pray." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him and said, "Where would you like me to pray?" He indicated a place to him and the Messengerof Allah ﷺ prayed there.

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  قال يحيى في هذا الحديث عن مالك عن ابن شهاب عن محمود بن لبيد وهو غلط بين وخطأ غير مشكل ووهم صريح لا يعرج عليه ولهذا لم نشتغل بترجمة الباب عن محمود بن لبيد لأنه من الوهم الذي يدركه من لم يكن له بالعلم كبير عناية وهذا الحديث لم يروه أحد من أصحاب مالك ولا من أصحاب ابن شهاب إلا عن محمود بن الربيع ولا يحفظ إلا لمحمود بن الربيع وهو حديث لا يعرف إلا به وقد رواه عنه أنس بن مالك عن عتبان بن مالك ومحمود بن لبيد ذكره في هذا الحديث خطأ والكمال لله والعصمة به لا شريك له
