أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أُصِيبَ بَصَرُهُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكَ فِي مَسْجِدِكَ وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعِي فِي مَسْجِدِي فَآتَمُّ بِصَلَاتِكَ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرُوا مَالِكَ بْنَ الدُّخْشُمِ قَالُوا ذَلِكَ كَهْفُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ أَوْ قَالَ أَهْلُ النِّفَاقِ وَمَلْجَؤُهُمُ الَّذِي يَلْجَؤُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمَعْقِلُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ؟» قَالُوا بَلَى وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي شَهَادَتِهِ قَالَ «لَا يَشْهَدُهَا عَبْدٌ صَادِقًا مِنْ قِبَلِ قَلْبِهِ فَيَمُوتُ إِلَّا حُرِّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ»

✧ He said: 'Itban b. Malik lost his sight during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he sent to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: I am unable to pray with you in your mosque, and I would like you to pray with me in my mosque so that I may follow your prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him. They mentioned Malik b. al-Dukhshum and said: He is the cave of the hypocrites—or he said: the people of hypocrisy—their refuge and stronghold. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Does he not testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger?' They said: Yes, but there is no good in his testimony. He said: 'No servant testifies it truthfully from his heart and then dies but that he is forbidden to the Fire.'
