Sahih al-Bukhari 419 (Book 8, Hadith 75)
of Badr: I came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) I have weak eyesight and I lead my
people in prayers. When it rains the water flows in the valley between me and my people so I cannot
go to their mosque to lead them in prayer. O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish you would come to my house and
pray in it so that I could take that place as a Musalla. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said. “Allah willing, I will do
so.” Next day after the sun rose high, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr came and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked
for permission to enter. I gave him permission and he did not sit on entering the house but said to me,
“Where do you like me to pray?” I pointed to a place in my house. So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stood there and
said, ‘Allahu Akbar’, and we all got up and aligned behind him and offered a two-rak`at prayer and
ended it with Taslim. We requested him to stay for a meal called “Khazira” which we had prepared for
him. Many members of our family gathered in the house and one of them said, “Where is Malik bin
Al-Dukhaishin or Ibn Al-Dukhshun?” One of them replied, “He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah
and His Apostle.” Hearing that, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Do not say so. Haven’t you seen that he said,
‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’ for Allah’s sake only?” He said, “Allah and His
Apostle know better. We have seen him helping and advising hypocrites.”
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who say, ‘None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah’ for Allah’s sake only.”
