Hadith text

Narrated 'Urban bin Malik:who attended the Badr battle and was from the Ansar, that he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people in the prayer (as an Imam). When it rains, the valley which is between me and my people, flows with water, and then I cannot go to their mosque to lead them in the prayer. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish that you could come and pray in my house so that I may take it as a praying place. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah willing, I will do that." The next morning, soon after the sun had risen, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came with Abu Bakr. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for the permission to enter and I admitted him. The Prophet (ﷺ) had not sat till he had entered the house and said to me, "Where do you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed at a place in my house whereupon he stood and said, "Allahu Akbar." We lined behind him and he prayed two rak`at and finished it with Taslim. We then requested him to stay for a special meal of Khazira which we had prepared. A large number of men from the adjoining area gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Malik bin Ad-Dukhshun?" Another man said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "Do not say so. Do you not think that he has said: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah," seeking Allah's pleasure? The man said, "Allah and His Apostle know better, but we have always seen him mixing with hypocrites and giving them advice." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has forbidden the (Hell) Fire for those who testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, seeking Allah's pleasure

'Urban bin Malik bataate hain, jo Ansaar mein se the aur jang-e-Badr mein shareek hue the: Wo Nabi (SAW) ke paas aaye aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Meri nazar chali gayi hai aur main apni qaum ki namaz mein Imamat karta hoon. Jab baarish hoti hai, to meri aur meri qaum ke beech ki wadi paani se bhar jaati hai, aur main unki Masjid tak namaz padhaane nahi ja pata. Aye Allah ke Rasool! Main chahta hoon ke aap mere ghar aakar namaz padhein, taake main use apni namaz padhne ki jagah bana sakoon.' Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Insha-Allah, main aisa karunga.' Agli subah, suraj nikalte hi, Allah ke Rasool (SAW) Abu Bakr ke saath aaye. Nabi (SAW) ne andar aane ki ijaazat maangi aur maine unhein andar aane diya. Nabi (SAW) baithe bhi nahi the ke unhone kaha, 'Aap chahenge ke main aapke ghar mein kahaan namaz padhun?' Maine apne ghar ki ek jagah ki taraf ishara kiya, isper wo khade hue aur kaha, 'Allahu Akbar.' Hum unke peechhe qataar mein khade hue, unhone do rakat namaz padhi aur salaam se khatam ki. Phir humne unhein Khazira ka khaas khaana khaane ke liye rukne ki darkhwaast ki jo humne taiyaar kiya tha. Aas-paas ke ilaake se kaafi log ghar mein jama ho gaye. Unmein se ek ne pucha, 'Malik bin Ad-Dukhshun kahaan hain?' Doosre shaks ne kaha, 'Wo ek munaafiq hai aur Allah aur uske Rasool se mohabbat nahi karta.' Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Aisa mat kaho. Kya tumhein nahi lagta ke usne "Allah ke siwa koi ibaadat ke laayak nahi" kaha tha, Allah ki khushi chaahte hue?' Us aadmi ne kaha, 'Allah aur uske Rasool behtar jaante hain, magar humne hamesha dekha hai ke wo munaafiqon ke saath ghulta-milta hai aur unhein salaah deta hai.' Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Allah ne (Jahannam ki) Aag un logon par haraam kar di hai jo gawaahi dete hain ke Allah ke siwa koi ibaadat ke laayak nahi, Allah ki khushi chaahte hue.'
