Chapter 70: Food, Meals
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. "
