Sahih Muslim Book - 5, Hadith - 1497

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِى مَحْمُودُ بْنُ رَبِيعٍ عَنْ عِتْبَانَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ يُونُسَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ أَوِ الدُّخَيْشِنِ وَزَادَ فِى الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ نَفَرًا فِيهِمْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِىُّ فَقَالَ مَا أَظُنُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ مَا قُلْتَ - قَالَ - فَحَلَفْتُ إِنْ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى عِتْبَانَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ - قَالَ - فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا قَدْ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ وَهُوَ إِمَامُ قَوْمِهِ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثَنِيهِ كَمَا حَدَّثَنِيهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ. قَالَ الزُّهْرِىُّ ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَرَائِضُ وَأُمُورٌ نُرَى أَنَّ الأَمْرَ انْتَهَى إِلَيْهَا فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ لاَ يَغْتَرَّ فَلاَ يَغْتَرَّ.

It was narrated that 'Itban bin Malik said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)..." and he quoted a Hadith like that of Yunus (no. 1496), except that he said: "A man said: 'Where is Malik bin Ad-Dukhshun' or 'Ad-Dukhaishin?"' And he added in his Hadith: "Mahmud said: 'I narrated this Hadith to a group of people among whom was Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari, and he said: I do not think that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said what you said. He said: 'I swore that if I went back to 'Itban I would ask him. So I went back to him and I found him an old man who had lost his eyesight, and he was the Imam of his people. I sat beside him and asked him about this Hadith, and he narrated it to me as he had narrated it the first time.'"
