In the Name of Alläh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1- THE BOOK OF IMAN (FAITH)
(1) CHAPTER.
The first step of Imân is to say: "La ilâha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh)”
1. Abu Jamrah(Radiyallahu anhu) narrated:
I was an interpreter between the people and
"Abdullah bin Abbâs. Once a woman happened to come there and asked about Nabeedh Al-Jarr (the wine pitcher). He said that a delegation of the tribe of Abdul-Oais came to Allâh's Messenger(saw) who asked all them, "Who are the people (i.e., you)? (or) who are the delegates?" They replied, "(We are from the tribe of) Rabiah." Then the Prophet(saw) said to them, "Welcome, O people [or said, O delegation (of Abdul-Qais]. Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret." They said: "O Messenger of
Allah! We have come to you from a far distant place and there is the tribe of the infidels of Mudar intervening between you and us and we cannot come to you except in the sacred month. So please order us to do some clear commands (religious deeds) and that we may also inform our people whom we have left behind (at home and that we may enter Jannah (by acting on them)." The Prophet(saw) ordered them to do four things, and forbade them from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allâh Alone,
and said to them, Do you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They replied,
"Allâh and His Messenger know better." Thereupon the Prophet(saw) said,
"That means to testify that Lâ ilâha illallâh wa anna Muhammad-ur-Rasûlullâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh and that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Alläh),
Iqamat-as-Salat (to perform prayers perfectly), to pay Zakât, to observe fasts during the month of Ramadän, (and) to pay Al-Khumus (one-fifth) of the war b***y (to be given in Allah's Cause)." Then he forbade them four things, namely Ad-Dubbä, Al-Hantam, Al-Muzalfat (and) An-Nagir or Al-Mugaiyar (these were the names of pots in which alcoholic drinks used to be prepared and served). The Prophet(saw)further said.
"Memorize these (this Hadith) and tell about it to the people whom you have left behind.
And in the version of Abu Bakr with the
addition of words "who are behind you."
And Ibn Muâdh added in the Hadith quoted from his father as saying: "The Messenger of Allah is said to Ashaii (of Abdul-Qais) :
"Verily you possess two such qualities which
Allah loves insight and deliberateness."
