On the authority of Omar also who said: <br />One day while wewere sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon <br />him), there came before us a man with extremely white <br />clothing and extremely black hair. There were no signs of <br />travel on him and none of us knew him. He [came and] sat <br />next to the Prophet (peace be upon him). He supported his <br />knees up against the knees of the Prophet (peace be upon <br />him) and put his hands on his thighs. <br />He said, “0 Muhammad, tell me about Islam.” The Messenger of Allah <br />(peace be upon him) said, “Islam is to testify that there is <br />none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad <br />is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayers, to pay <br />the zakat, to fast [the month ofl Ramadan, and to make <br />the pilgrimage to the House if you have the means to do <br />so." He said, "You have spoken truthfully [or correctly] .” <br />We were amazed that he asks the question and then he says <br />that he had spoken truthfully. He said, “Tell me about <br />Imaan (faith).” He [the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon <br />him)] responded, “It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His <br />books, His messengers, the Last Day and to believe in the <br />divine decree, [both] the good and the evil thereof.” He <br />said, “You have spoken truthfully.” He said, “Tell me <br />about al-Ihsaan (goodness).” He [the Prophet] answered, <br />“It is that you worship Allah as if you see Him. And even <br />though you do not see Him, [you know] He sees you.” He <br />said, “Tell me about [the time ofl the Hour." He [the <br />Prophet (peace be upon him)] answered, “The one being <br />asked does not know more than the one asking.” He said, <br />“Tell me about its signs.” He answered, “The slave-girl <br />shall give birth to her master, and you will see the barefooted, scantily-clothed, destitute shepherds competing in constructing lofty buildings.” <br />Then he went away. <br />I stayed for a long time. Then he [the Prophet (peace be <br />upon him)] said, “0 Omar, do you know who the <br />questioner was?” I said, “Allah and His Messenger know <br />best.” He said, “It was [the Angel] Gabriel who came to <br />teach you your religion.” <br />Recorded by Muslim. <br /> <br />watch <br />[Hadith# 02] – Imam nawawi’s 40 hadith (Hadith Jibreel [Seg 01])
