Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 10 — The Book of Belief (Faith)

Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:

When the delegation of the tribe of Abdul Qias came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (or) who are the delegates?" They replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabî'a." Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them, "Welcome! O people (or O delegation of 'Abdul Qais)! Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret."They said, "O Allâh's Messenger ﷺ, we cannot come to you except in the sacred month and there is the infidel tribe of Mudar intervening between you and us. So please order us to do something good (religious deeds) so that we may inform our people whom we have left behind (at home), and that we may enter Paradise (by acting on them)."Then they asked about drinks (what is legal and what is illegal). The Prophet ﷺ ordered them to do four things and forbade them from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allâh عز وجل Alone and asked them, "Do you know what is meant by believing in Allâh عز وجل Alone?" They replied, "Allâh and His Messenger ﷺ know better." Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "It means: 1. To testify that " Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh wa anna Muhammad-ar-Rasul Allâh " (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh and, Muhammad ﷺ, is the Messenger of Allâh).2. To perform As-Salât ( Iqâmat-as-Salât). [1]3. To pay the Zakât. [2]4. To observe Saum (fasts) during the month of Ramadân.5. And to pay Al-Khumus [1] (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allâh's Cause).”Then he forbade them four things, namely Hantam, Ad-Dubbâ', An-Naqîr and Al-Muzaffât or Al-Muqaiyar; (these were the names of pots in which alcoholic drinks were prepared). (The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the containers of wine and he meant the wine itself). The Prophet ﷺ further said (to them): “Memorize them (these instructions) and convey them to the people whom you have left behind.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 50, Vol. 1)
