"Once a delegation of ʿAbdul Qais came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "We belong to such and such branch of the tribe of Rabi'ah and we can only come to you in the sacred months. Order us to do something good so that we may take it from you and also invite to it those whom we have left behind (at home)." So he said, "I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things: To believe in Allah" - and then he explained it to them "to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ, to establish the prayers (at the stated times), to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity), to hand me the Khumus (fifth) if you acquire spoils of war. And I forbid from (using) Dubba, Hantam, Muqaiyyar, and Naqir (all these were utensils used for the preparation of alcoholic drinks).  

قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْحَىِّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَلَسْنَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فَمُرْنَا بِشَىْءٍ نَأْخُذْهُ عَنْكَ وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا فَقَالَ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ فَسَّرَهَا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَأَنْ تُؤَدُّوا إِلَىَّ خُمُسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ وَأَنْهَى عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُقَيَّرِ وَالنَّقِيرِ  

The delegates of the tribe of ʿAbdul-Qais came and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are from the tribe of Rabiʿa, and there is the infidels of the tribe of Mudar intervening between you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months. So please order us some instructions that we may apply it to ourselves and also invite our people whom we left behind us to observe as well." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I order you (to do) four (things) and forbid you (to do) four: I order you to believe in Allah, that is, to testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah (the Prophet ﷺ pointed with his hand); to offer prayers perfectly; to pay Zakat; to fast the month of Ramadan, and to pay the Khumus (i.e. one-fifth) of the war booty to Allah and I forbid you to use Ad-dubba', An-Naqir, Al-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat (i.e. utensils used for preparing alcoholic drinks)." (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1).  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ يَقُولُ قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا هَذَا الْحَىَّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ فَلَسْنَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا قَالَ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَعَقَدَ بِيَدِهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَصِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُؤَدُّوا لِلَّهِ خُمُسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ  

The delegates of ʿAbd-ul-Qais came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are from the tribe of Rabiʿa and the infidels of Mudar tribe stand between us and you, so that we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months. Therefore we would like you to give us some instructions which we may follow and convey to our people staying behind us." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I order you to observe four things and forbid you (to do) four things: (I order you) to believe in Allah testifying that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah; to offer the prayer perfectly; to pay the Zakat; and to give one-fifth of the war booty to Allah. And I forbid you to use Ad-Dubba, Al-Hantam, An-Naqir and Al- Muzaffat." (These are names of utensils in which alcoholic drinks were served.)  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ يَقُولُ قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْحَىِّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ قَدْ حَالَتْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ فَلَسْنَا نَخْلُصُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَنَا بِأَمْرٍ نَأْخُذُهُ عَنْكَ وَنُبَلِّغُهُ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا قَالَ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَأَنْ تُؤَدُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ خُمْسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ  

The delegation of ʿAbdul Qais came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ We belong to the tribe of Rabiʿa. The infidels of Mudar tribe intervened between us and you so that we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months, so please order us some things we may act on and invite those left behind to act on. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I order you to observe four things and forbid you from four things: (I order you) to believe in Allah, i.e. to testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah." The Prophet ﷺ pointed with finger indicating one and added, "To offer prayers perfectly: to give Zakat, and to give one-fifth of the booty you win (for Allah's Sake). I forbid you to use Ad-Dubba', An-Naquir, Al-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat, (Utensils used for preparing alcoholic liquors and drinks).  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا هَذَا الْحَىَّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَقَدْ حَالَتْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ فَلَسْنَا نَخْلُصُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِأَشْيَاءَ نَأْخُذُ بِهَا وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهَا مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا قَالَ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَعَقَدَ وَاحِدَةً وَإِقَامِ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَأَنْ تُؤَدُّوا لِلَّهِ خُمْسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ  

When the delegation of ʿAbdul Qais came to the Prophet, he said, "Welcome, O the delegation who have come! Neither you will have disgrace, nor you will regret." They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are a group from the tribe of Ar-Rabiʿa, and between you and us there is the tribe of Mudar and we cannot come to you except in the sacred months. So please order us to do something good (religious deeds) so that we may enter Paradise by doing that, and also that we may order our people who are behind us (whom we have left behind at home) to follow it." He said, "Four and four:" offer prayers perfectly , pay the Zakat, (obligatory charity), fast the month of Ramadan, and give one-fifth of the war booty (in Allah's cause), and do not drink in (containers called) Ad-Duba,' Al-Hantam, An-Naqir and Al-Muzaffat."  

لَمَّا قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِالْوَفْدِ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلاَ نَدَامَى فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا حَىٌّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَبَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مُضَرُ وَإِنَّا لاَ نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ فَصْلٍ نَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَنَدْعُو بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا فَقَالَ أَرْبَعٌ وَأَرْبَعٌ أَقِيمُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَعْطُوا خُمُسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ وَلاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ  

The delegates of ʿAbdul Qais came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "The pagans of the tribe of Mudar intervene between you and us therefore we cannot come to you except in the Holy months. So please order us to do something good (Religious deeds) by which we may enter Paradise (by acting on them) and we may inform our people whom we have left behind to observe it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things: I order you to believe in Allah. Do you know what is meant by belief in Allah? It is to testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, to offer prayers perfectly, to give Zakat, and to give Al-Khumus (one-fifth of the war booty) (in Allah's Cause). And I forbid you four things, (i.e., Do not drink alcoholic drinks) Ad-Dubba, An- Naqir, (pitched water skins), Az-Zuruf, Al-Muzaffat and Al--Hantam (names of utensils used for the preparation of alcoholic drinks)." (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1)  

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَمْرَةَ الضُّبَعِيُّ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لاَ نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ فِي أَشْهُرٍ حُرُمٍ فَمُرْنَا بِجُمَلٍ مِنَ الأَمْرِ إِنْ عَمِلْنَا بِهِ دَخَلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهَا مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا قَالَ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ آمُرُكُمْ بِالإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ وَهَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَتُعْطُوا مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ الْخُمُسَ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ لاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالظُّرُوفِ الْمُزَفَّتَةِ وَالْحَنْتَمَةِ  

Messenger of Allah, verily ours is a tribe of Rabi'a and there stand between you and us the unbelievers of Mudar and we find no freedom to come to you except in the sacred month. Direct us to an act which we should ourselves perform and invite those who live beside us. Upon this the Prophet remarked: I command you to do four things and prohibit you against four acts. (The four deeds which you are commanded to do are): Faith in Allah, and then he explained it for them and said: Testifying the fact. that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, performance of prayer, payment of Zakat, that you pay Khums (one-fifth) of the booty fallen to your lot, and I prohibit you to use round gourd, wine jars, wooden pots or skins for wine. Khalaf b. Hisham has made this addition in his narration: Testifying the fact that there is no god but Allah, and then he with his finger pointed out the oneness of the Lord.

"The delegation of 'Abdul-Qais came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and said: 'We are a group of people from (the tribe of) Rabi'ah, and we can only reach you during the sacred month. Tell us something that we can take from you and to which we may call those who are behind us.' He said: 'I command you to do four things and I forbid you from four: Faith in Allah'- and he explained that to them- 'bearing witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, establishing Salah, paying Zakah, and giving me one-fifth (the Khumus) of the spoils of war you acquire. And I forbid you from Ad-Dubba', Al-Hantam, Al-Muqayyir, and Al-Muzaffat.'"

The deputation of 'Abd al-Qais came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: This is the tribe of Rabi'ah, and the infidels of Mudar are between us and you. We are able to come to you only in the sacred month. So give a decisive command which we may follow ourselves and to which we call those at home behind us. He (the Prophet) said: I command you to observe four things, and forbade you four things: Belief in Allah. the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and he expresses one by folding his hand. Musadad's version has: Faith in Allah, and he explained to them: The testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, observance of prayer, payment of zakat, and your giving the filth of the booty. I forbid you the use of pumpkins, green jarrs, vessels smeared with pitch, and hollow stumps of palm-trees. Ibn 'Ubaid's version has word muqayyar (vessels smeared with pitch) instead of naqir (hollow stumps). Musaddad's version has naqir and muqayyar (pitch); he did not mention muzaffat (vessels smeared with pitch). Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu Jamrah is Nasr bin 'Imran al-Duba'i.

"I said to Ibn 'Abbas that my grandmother makes Nabidh in an earthenware jar and it is sweet. If I drink a lot of it and sit with people, I am worried that they will find out.

[Machine] A delegation from the tribe of Abd al-Qays came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are the Rabiah tribe and there are disbelievers from the Mudar tribe between us and you. We can only reach you during the sacred month. So, give us a command that if we follow, we will enter Paradise and we can invite those behind us to follow it as well." The Prophet ﷺ commanded them with four things and forbade them from four things. He commanded them to worship Allah alone without associating any partners with Him, to establish the prayer, to give the Zakat, to perform the Hajj pilgrimage, and to give one-fifth of the spoils of war. He forbade them from four things: drinking from water skins, pots, and gourds, and from drinking from spouts. They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what can we drink from then?" He replied, "You should drink from these types of containers that are rimless."  

أَنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا حَيٌّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَبَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ إِذَا عَمِلْنَا بِهِ دَخَلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَنْ يَحُجُّوا الْبَيْتَ وَأَنْ يُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْمَغَانِمِ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ عَنِ الشُّرْبِ فِي الْحَنَاتِمِ وَالدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِمَّا نَشْرَبُ؟ قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْأَسْقِيَةِ الَّتِي تُلَاتُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهَا»  

[Machine] When the delegation of Abdul Qais came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he asked, "Who are you?" They replied, "We are from Rabi'ah." He said, "Welcome to you, O delegation! May you not be of those who regret." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are living under the protection of Rabi'ah, and we have come to you from a distant place. There is a tribe called Mudar between us and you, and we can only come to you during the sacred month. So give us a clear command that we can call and convey to those behind us so that we may enter Paradise." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I order you with four and prohibit you from four. I order you to have faith in Allah, bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Do you know what faith is? It is to bear witness that there is no god but Allah, establish prayer, pay Zakah, Fast during Ramadan, and give one-fifth of the spoils. I prohibit you from four things: Dubba, Hantam, Naqir, and Muzaffat." He added, "And perhaps I should also prohibit you from Muhayyar. Remember and convey them to those behind you."  

أَنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ لَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟» قَالُوا رَبِيعَةُ قَالَ «مَرْحَبًا بِالْوَفْدِ غَيْرِ الْخَزَايَا وَلَا النَّادِمِينَ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا حَيٌّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَإِنَّا نَأْتِيكَ مِنْ شُقَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ وَإِنَّهُ يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ هَذَا الْحَيُّ مِنْ كُفَّارِ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ فَصْلٍ تَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا وَنَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ آمُرُكُمْ بِالْإِيمَانِ بِاللهِ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا مِنَ الْغَنَائِمِ الْخُمُسَ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ قَالَ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ وَالْمُقَيَّرِ احْفَظُوهُنَّ وَادْعُوا إِلَيْهِنَّ مَنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ  

The delegates of the tribe of ʿAbdul-Qais came and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are from the tribe of Rabiʿa, and there is the infidels of the tribe of Mudar intervening between you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months. So please order us some instructions that we may apply it to ourselves and also invite our people whom we left behind us to observe as well." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I order you (to do) four (things) and forbid you (to do) four: I order you to believe in Allah, that is, to testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah (the Prophet ﷺ pointed with his hand); to offer prayers perfectly; to pay Zakat; to fast the month of Ramadan, and to pay the Khumus (i.e. one-fifth) of the war booty to Allah and I forbid you to use Ad-dubba', An-Naqir, Al-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat (i.e. utensils used for preparing alcoholic drinks)." (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1). (Using translation from Bukhārī 3095)  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَيَّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ قَدْ حَالَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ فَلَسْنَا نَخْلُصُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نَأْخُذُ بِهِ وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا قَالَ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الْإِيمَانِ بِاللهِ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَعَقَدَ بِيَدِهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُؤَدُّوا خُمُسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ  

[Machine] The delegation of Abd al-Qays came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are disbelievers from the tribe of Mudar between us and you, and we can only come to you during the sacred months. So give us a command that we can convey to those behind us and invite them to it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Tell them that there are four testimonies: There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, establishing prayer, giving zakat, fasting in Ramadan, and paying one-fifth of what you have acquired. And I prohibit you from drinking the wine of grapes, and from the wine of dates, and from the wine of barley and wheat."  

قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي أَشْهُرِ الْحُرُمِ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نَنْتَهِي إِلَيْهِ وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعٌ وَأَرْبَعٌ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَخُمُسُ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ نَبِيذِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ  

[Machine] A delegation from the tribe of Abd al-Qays came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are a tribe from Rabee'ah and the tribe of Mudar stands between us and you, and they are disbelievers. We cannot come to you except in a sacred month, so give us a commandment that we can apply and invite others to after we return." He said, "I command you with four things and forbid you from four things. I command you to bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to pay zakat, and to give one-fifth of the spoils of war. I forbid you from wearing garments made of silk, brocade, and fur, and from wearing gold jewelry. I also forbid you from drinking wine and using hunting dogs and falcons."  

قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا هَذَا الْحَيُّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ قَدْ حَالَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ وَلَا نَخْلُصُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نَعْمَلُ بِهِ وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا قَالَ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الْإِيمَانِ وَفَسَّرَهَا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَأَنْ تُؤَدُّوا خُمُسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُقَيَّرِ  

[Machine] The delegation of Abd al-Qays came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Greetings, O Messenger of Allah. We are from the tribe of Rabi'ah, but there are disbelievers from the tribe of Mudar among us. We can only come to you in the sacred month, so guide us and call those behind us to the same. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I command you to do four things: to have faith in Allah, bear witness that there is no deity but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger, establish prayer, give zakat (charity), and pay one-fifth of the war booty. I forbid you from five things: do not consume carrion, blood, pork, or wine."

[Machine] The delegation of Abdul Qais came to the Prophet ﷺ and they said, "O Messenger of Allah, there are disbelievers among us from the tribe of Mudar, and we can only come to you during the sacred month. So command us with what is permissible for us and prohibit us from what is forbidden upon us." He said, "I command you to bear witness that there is no god but Allah, establish prayer, give zakah, fast Ramadan, and give one-fifth of what you have gained as spoils of war. And I prohibit you from saddle animals with saddles that cause harm, inflating and slashing the nostrils of camels, and branding animals on their faces."

[Machine] A delegation from the tribe of Abd al-Qays came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, there is a valley between us and you, which is inhabited by the tribe of Mudar. We can only reach you during the sacred month or in the month of Rajab. So, tell us something that we can hold onto and convey to those behind us from our people." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I command you to bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, establish prayer, give zakah, and give one-fifth of the war booty as a share of Allah and the Prophet's portion. I also forbid you from four things: Al-Dubba', Al-Hantam, Al-Muzaffat, and Al-Naqeer." Abu Hilal al-Rasibi mentioned the prohibition of Al-Safiyya among them.
