Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla of Umar ibn Ubaydullah, from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast for so long that we thought he would never stop fasting, and he would go without fasting for so long that we thought he would never fast again. I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fast for a complete month except for Ramadan, and I never saw him do more fasting in any one month than he did in Shaban.'  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لاَ يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لاَ يَصُومُ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلاَّ رَمَضَانَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي شَهْرٍ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast to such an extent that we thought that he would never break his fast, and he would go without fasting to such an extent that we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fast a complete month except in Ramadan, and I never saw his fast more in any month than in Sha'ban. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2434)  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي شَهْرٍ قَطُّ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast to such an extent that we thought that he would never break his fast, and he would go without fasting to such an extent that we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fast a complete month except in Ramadan, and I never saw his fast more in any month than in Sha'ban. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2434)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ وَمَا اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي شَهْرٍ قَطُّ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast till one would say that he would never stop fasting, and he would abandon fasting till one would say that he would never fast. I never saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasting for a whole month except the month of Ramadan, and did not see him fasting in any month more than in the month of Sha'ban. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1969)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast to such an extent that we thought that he would never break his fast, and he would go without fasting to such an extent that we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fast a complete month except in Ramadan, and I never saw his fast more in any month than in Sha'ban. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2434)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي شَهْرٍ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast until we said, "He will not break his fast," and he would break his fast until we said, "He will not fast." And I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ complete the fast of a month, except for Ramadan, and I never saw him fast in a month more than he did in Sha'ban.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي شَهْرٍ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast until we would say he does not break his fast, and he would break his fast until we would say he does not fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ complete a full month of fasting except for Ramadan, and I never saw him fasting more in any other month than he did in Sha'ban.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي شَهْرٍ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ  

I went out in the company of ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb one night in Ramaḍān to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, ʿUmar said: In my opinion, it would better to collect them under the leadership of one reciter. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubay b. Kaʿb. Then on another night, I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, ʿUmar remarked: What an excellent *bidʿah* (innovation) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform and sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering. ˹What˺ he meant is the prayer in the last part of the night, (i.e. Tahajjud) ˹In those days˺ people used to pray in the early part of the night.  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ لَيْلَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ أَوْزَاعٌ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ، يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَيُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ فَيُصَلِّي بِصَلاَتِهِ الرَّهْطُ۔ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنِّي أَرَى لَوْ جَمَعْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَى قَارِئٍ وَاحِدٍ لَكَانَ أَمْثَلَ۔ ثُمَّ عَزَمَ فَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ لَيْلَةً أُخْرَى وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَةِ قَارِئِهِمْ۔ قَالَ عُمَرُ: نِعْمَ الْبِدْعَةُ هَذِهِ! وَالَّتِي يَنَامُونَ عَنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ، يُرِيدُ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ أَوَّلَهُ۔  

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-Zubayr that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd al-Qari said, "I went out with Umar ibn alKhattab in Ramadan to the mosque and the people there were spread out in groups. Some men were praying by themselves, whilst others were praying in small groups. Umar said, 'By Allah! It would be better in my opinion if these people gathered behind one reciter.' So he gathered them behind Ubayy ibn Kab. Then I went out with him another night and the people were praying behind their Qur'an reciter. Umar said, 'How excellent this new way is, but what you miss while you are asleep is better than what you watch in prayer.' He meant the end of the night, and people used to watch the beginning of the night in prayer."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي رَمَضَانَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ أَوْزَاعٌ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَيُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ فَيُصَلِّي بِصَلاَتِهِ الرَّهْطُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَرَانِي لَوْ جَمَعْتُ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَى قَارِئٍ وَاحِدٍ لَكَانَ أَمْثَلَ فَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ لَيْلَةً أُخْرَى وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَةِ قَارِئِهِمْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ نِعْمَتِ الْبِدْعَةُ هَذِهِ وَالَّتِي تَنَامُونَ عَنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الَّتِي تَقُومُونَ يَعْنِي آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ أَوَّلَهُ  

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْقَارِى قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بن الْخَطَّابِ لَيْلَةً فِى رَمَضَانَ إِلَى المَسْجدِ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ أَوْزَاعٌ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ، يُصَلِّى الرَّجُلُ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَيُصَلِّى الرَّجُلُ فَيُصَلِّى بصَلَاتِهِ الرَّهْطُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنِّى أرَى لَوْ جَمَعْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى قَارِئٍ وَاحِدٍ لَكَانَ أَمْثَلَ، ثُمَّ عَزَمَ فَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ لَيْلَةً أُخْرَى وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاةِ قَارِئِهِمْ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: نعْم البدْعَةُ هَذِهِ وَالَّتِى تَنَامُونَ عَنْهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الَّتِى تَقومُونَ، يُرِيدُ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ أَوَّلَهُ".  

Ibn ʿAbbas said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ travelled in the month of Ramadan and he fasted till he reached (a place called) 'Usfan, then he asked for a tumbler of water and drank it by the daytime so that the people might see him. He broke his fast till he reached Mecca." Ibn ʿAbbas used to say, "Allah's Apostle fasted and sometimes did not fast while traveling, so one may fast or may not (on journeys)"  

سَافَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ عُسْفَانَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَشَرِبَ نَهَارًا لِيُرِيَهُ النَّاسَ فَأَفْطَرَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ قَالَ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ صَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي السَّفَرِ وَأَفْطَرَ فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ  

"The Messenger of Allah traveled and fasted until he reached 'Usfan, then he called for a cup and drank durink the day when the people could see him. Hen he did not fast until he reached Makkah, and he conquered Makkah during Ramadan." Ibn 'Abbas said: "And the Messenger of Allah fasted until he reach Makkah, and he conquered Makkah during Ramadan." Ibn 'Abbas said: "And the Messenger of Allah fasted and broke his fast while traveling, so whoever wishes may fast, and whoever wishes may not fast." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2314)  

سَافَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ عُسْفَانَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ فَشَرِبَ نَهَارًا لِيَرَاهُ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ أَفْطَرَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ وَافْتَتَحَ مَكَّةَ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَصَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي السَّفَرِ وَأَفْطَرَ فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ  

[Machine] I traveled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Ramadan, and he fasted until he reached Usfan. Then he called for a container and drank from it so that the people could see him, then he broke his fast when he entered Mecca and opened Mecca in Ramadan. Ibn Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted while traveling and he broke his fast. So whoever wants, let them fast and whoever wants, let them break their fast."  

سَافَرْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ عُسْفَانَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ فَشَرِبَ بِهَا لِيَرَاهُ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ أَفْطَرَ حِينَ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ وَافْتَتَحَ مَكَّةَ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «صَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي السَّفَرِ وَأَفْطَرَ فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ»  

"The Messenger of Allah traveled and fasted until he reached 'Usfan, then he called for a cup and drank durink the day when the people could see him. Hen he did not fast until he reached Makkah, and he conquered Makkah during Ramadan." Ibn 'Abbas said: "And the Messenger of Allah fasted until he reach Makkah, and he conquered Makkah during Ramadan." Ibn 'Abbas said: "And the Messenger of Allah fasted and broke his fast while traveling, so whoever wishes may fast, and whoever wishes may not fast." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2314)

[Machine] Abu Amr Al-Adibi informed us that Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili informed us that Abu Ya'la reported to us that Abu Khaythamah reported to us from Jarir, from Mansur, from Mujahid, from Tawus, from Ibn Abbas, who said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ traveled during Ramadan and fasted until he reached Usfan. Then he called for a container of water and drank it during the day for the people to see, and he broke his fast until he reached Makkah." Ibn Abbas used to say: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast while traveling, but he also used to break his fast. So whoever wished, would fast, and whoever wished, would break their fast."  

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو يَعْلَى ثنا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ثنا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ سَافَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ عُسْفَانَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَشَرِبَ نَهَارًا لِيَرَاهُ النَّاسُ فَأَفْطَرَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ صَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي السَّفَرِ وَأَفْطَرَ فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ  

The Prophet ﷺ left Medina (for Mecca) in the company of ten-thousand (Muslim warriors) in (the month of) Ramadan, and that was eight and a half years after his migration to Medina. He and the Muslims who were with him, proceeded on their way to Mecca. He was fasting and they were fasting, but when they reached a place called Al-Kadid which was a place of water between 'Usfan and Kudaid, he broke his fast and so did they. (Az-Zuhri said, "One should take the last action of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and leave his early action (while taking a verdict.")  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ فِي رَمَضَانَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَعَهُ عَشَرَةُ آلاَفٍ وَذَلِكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ وَنِصْفٍ مِنْ مَقْدَمِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَسَارَ هُوَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ يَصُومُ وَيَصُومُونَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْكَدِيدَ وَهْوَ مَاءٌ بَيْنَ عُسْفَانَ وَقُدَيْدٍ أَفْطَرَ وَأَفْطَرُوا قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَإِنَّمَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الآخِرُ فَالآخِرُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ left the city in Ramadan with ten thousand Muslims and they traveled for eight and a half years from the beginning of Medina. He and the Muslims with him continued to fast until they reached Al-Khadeed, which is between Usfan and Qudayd. Then, he broke his fast and the Muslims with him also broke their fast. They did not fast afterwards.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ فِي رَمَضَانَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ مَعَهُ عَشَرَةُ آلافٍ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ وَذَلِكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ وَنِصْفٍ مِنْ مَقْدَمِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَسَارَ بِمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ يَصُومُ وَيَصُومُونَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ الْكَدِيدَ وَهُوَ مَا بَيْنَ عُسْفَانَ وَقُدَيْدٍ أَفْطَرَ وَأَفْطَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَهُ فَلَمْ يَصُمْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ left Medina in Ramadan with ten thousand Muslims. This happened after he had been in Medina for eight and a half years. He traveled to Mecca with those Muslims, and they fasted until they reached Al-Kadeed, which is between Usfan and Qudayd. Then, the Prophet and the Muslims with him broke their fast. They did not fast for the rest of Ramadan. Al-Zuhri said, "Breaking the fast was the last thing to be commanded. It was only done based on the orders of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Therefore, the last thing is taken as the final ruling." Al-Zuhri also said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached Mecca at the beginning of the thirteenth night of Ramadan."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ فِي رَمَضَانَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَعَهُ عَشَرَةُ آلَافٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَذَلِكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ وَنِصْفٍ مِنْ مَقْدَمِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَسَارَ بِمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ يَصُومُ وَيَصُومُونَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْكَدِيدَ وَهُوَ بَيْنَ عُسْفَانَ وَقُدَيْدٍ فَأَفْطَرَ وَأَفْطَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَهُ فَلَمْ يَصُومُوا بَقِيَّةَ رَمَضَانَ شَيْئًا قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَكَانَ الْفِطْرُ آخِرَ الْأَمْرَيْنِ وَإِنَّمَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْآخِرُ فَالْآخِرُ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَصَبَّحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ لِثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ  

I was an interpreter between the people and Ibn ʿAbbas. Once Ibn ʿAbbas said that a delegation of the tribe of ʿAbdul Qais came to the Prophet ﷺ who asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (Or) who are the delegates?" They replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabiʿa." Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them, "Welcome, O people (or said, "O delegation (of ʿAbdul Qais).") Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "We have come to you from a 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 something good (religious deeds) and that we may also inform our people whom we have left behind (at home) and that we may enter Paradise (by acting on them.)" The Prophet ordered them to do four things, and forbade them from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah Alone, the Honorable the Majestic and said to them, "Do you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "(That means to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay Zakat, to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan, (and) to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah's cause)." Then he forbade them four things, namely Ad-Dubba.' Hantam, Muzaffat (and) An-Naqir or Muqaiyar (These were the names of pots in which alcoholic drinks used to be prepared). The Prophet ﷺ further said, "Memorize them (these instructions) and tell them to the people whom you have left behind."  

إِنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنِ الْوَفْدُ أَوْ مَنِ الْقَوْمُ قَالُوا رَبِيعَةُ فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِالْقَوْمِ أَوْ بِالْوَفْدِ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلاَ نَدَامَى قَالُوا إِنَّا نَأْتِيكَ مِنْ شُقَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ وَبَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ هَذَا الْحَىُّ مِنْ كُفَّارِ مُضَرَ وَلاَ نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَأْتِيَكَ إِلاَّ فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نُخْبِرْ بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا نَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ ﷻ وَحْدَهُ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَتُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ رُبَّمَا قَالَ النَّقِيرِ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ الْمُقَيَّرِ قَالَ احْفَظُوهُ وَأَخْبِرُوهُ 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).  

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  

I said to Ibn ʿAbbas, "I have an earthenware pot containing Nabidh (i.e. water and dates or grapes) for me, and I drink of it while it is sweet. If I drink much of it and stay with the people for a long time, I get afraid that they may discover it (for I will appear as if I were drunk). Ibn ʿAbbas said, "A delegation of ʿAbdul Qais came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "Welcome, O people! Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! There are the Mudar pagans between you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the sacred Months. So please teach us some orders on acting upon which we will enter Paradise. Besides, we will preach that to our people who are behind us." 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 to believe in Allah? That is to testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah: (I order you also to offer prayers perfectly to pay Zakat; and to fast the month of Ramadan and to give the Khumus (i.e. one-fifth of the booty) (for Allah's Sake). I forbid you from four other things (i.e. the wine that is prepared in) Ad-Dubba, An-Naquir, Az-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat. (See Hadith No. 50 Vol. 1)  

عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ إِنَّ لِي جَرَّةً يُنْتَبَذُ لِي نَبِيذٌ فَأَشْرَبُهُ حُلْوًا فِي جَرٍّ إِنْ أَكْثَرْتُ مِنْهُ فَجَالَسْتُ الْقَوْمَ فَأَطَلْتُ الْجُلُوسَ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَفْتَضِحَ فَقَالَ قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِالْقَوْمِ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلاَ النَّدَامَى فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لاَ نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ فِي أَشْهُرِ الْحُرُمِ حَدِّثْنَا بِجُمَلٍ مِنَ الأَمْرِ إِنْ عَمِلْنَا بِهِ دَخَلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَنَدْعُو بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا قَالَ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا مِنَ الْمَغَانِمِ الْخُمُسَ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ مَا انْتُبِذَ فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ  

When the delegate of ʿAbd Al-Qais came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, "Who are the delegate?" They said, "The delegate are from the tribe of Rabiʿa." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Welcome, O the delegate, and welcome! O people! Neither you will have any disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Between you and us there are the infidels of the tribe of Mudar, so please order us to do something good (religious deeds) that by acting on them we may enter Paradise, and that we may inform (our people) whom we have left behind, about it." They also asked (the Prophet) about drinks. He forbade them from four things and ordered them to do four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah, and asked them, "Do you know what is meant by belief in Allah?" They said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." He said, ''To testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, the One, Who has no partners with Him, and that Muhammad is Messenger of Allah ﷺ; and to offer prayers perfectly and to pay Zakat." (the narrator thinks that fasting in Ramadan is included), "and to give one-fifth of the war booty (to the state)." Then he forbade four (drinking utensils): Ad-Duba', Al56 Hantam, Al-Mazaffat and An-Naqir, or probably, Al-Muqaiyar. And then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Remember all these things by heart and preach it to those whom you have left behind."  

إِنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ لَمَّا أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنِ الْوَفْدُ قَالُوا رَبِيعَةُ قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِالْوَفْدِ وَالْقَوْمِ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلاَ نَدَامَى قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارَ مُضَرَ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَنُخْبِرُ بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا فَسَأَلُوا عَنِ الأَشْرِبَةِ فَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَأَظُنُّ فِيهِ صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ وَتُؤْتُوا مِنَ الْمَغَانِمِ الْخُمُسَ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ الْمُقَيَّرِ قَالَ احْفَظُوهُنَّ وَأَبْلِغُوهُنَّ مَنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ  

I was sitting with Ibn Abbas and he made me sit on his sitting place. He requested me to stay with him in order that he might give me a share from his property. So I stayed with him for two months. Once he told (me) that when the delegation of the tribe of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet, the Prophet ﷺ asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (Or) who are the delegate?" They replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabi'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 Messenger of Allah 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 Allah Alone and asked them, "Do you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "It means: 1. To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Messenger of Allah ﷺ. 2. To offer prayers perfectly 3. To pay the Zakat (obligatory charity) 4. To observe fast during the month of Ramadan. 5. And to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah's Cause).

Then he forbade them four things, namely, Hantam, Dubba,' Naqir Ann Muzaffat or Muqaiyar; (These were the names of pots in which Alcoholic drinks were prepared) (The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the container 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."  

كُنْتُ أَقْعُدُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يُجْلِسُنِي عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ فَقَالَ أَقِمْ عِنْدِي حَتَّى أَجْعَلَ لَكَ سَهْمًا مِنْ مَالِي فَأَقَمْتُ مَعَهُ شَهْرَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ لَمَّا أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟» أَوْ «مَنِ الْوَفْدُ؟» قَالُوا: رَبِيعَةُ، قَالَ: «مَرْحَبًا بِالْقَوْمِ» أَوْ «بِالْوَفْدِ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلاَ نَدَامَى» فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لاَ نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَأْتِيَكَ إِلاَّ فِي شَهْرِ الْحَرَامِ وَبَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ هَذَا الْحَىُّ مِنْ كُفَّارِ مُضَرَ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ فَصْلٍ نُخْبِرْ بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا وَنَدْخُلْ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ، وَسَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الأَشْرِبَةِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ

أَمَرَهُمْ بِالإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ، قَالَ: «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ؟» قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ، وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَصِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ الْخُمُسَ»

وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ: عَنِ الْحَنْتَمِ وَالدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ، وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: الْمُقَيَّرِ، وَقَالَ: «احْفَظُوهُنَّ وَأَخْبِرُوا بِهِنَّ مَنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ»  

[Machine] A delegation from the tribe of Abd al-Qays came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , among them was al-Ashajj, the brother of Banu Asar. They said, "O Prophet of Allah, we are not from the tribe of Rabi'ah and there are unbelievers from the tribe of Mudhar between us and you. We can only come to you during the sacred month. So, give us a command by which if we act upon it, we will enter Paradise and call those after us to it." He ordered them with four things and prohibited them from four things. He ordered them to worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, to fast during Ramadan, to perform Hajj to the Kaaba, and to give one-fifth of the spoils of war. He prohibited them from four things - drinking from wineskins, bladder, jug, and cup. They asked, "In what shall we drink then, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Drink from the leather water container that has been tied."  

أَنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمُ الْأَشَجُّ أَخُو بَنِي عَصَرٍ فَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّا حَيٌّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَإِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارَ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ إِذَا عَمِلْنَا بِهِ دَخَلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَنَدْعُو بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا؟ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَأَنْ يَصُومُوا رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْيَحُجُّوا الْبَيْتَ وَأَنْ يُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْمَغَانِمِ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ عَنِ الشُّرْبِ فِي الْحَنْتَمِ وَالدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ فَقَالُوا فَفِيمَ نَشْرَبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِأَسْقِيَةِ الْأَدَمِ الَّتِي يُلَاثُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهَا  

[Machine] I heard Ibn Abbas say, "When the delegation of Abd al-Qays arrived to the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , he asked, 'From which tribe or people is this delegation?' They replied, 'From the tribe of Rabi'ah.' He said, 'Welcome to the delegation, or people, who are not treacherous nor deceitful.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we have come to you from a distant and dangerous place, and between us and you is the territory of the disbelievers of Mudar. We can only come to you during the sacred month. So inform us of an action that will allow us to enter Paradise and we can inform those behind us. They also asked him about certain drinks, so he ordered them to consume four and prohibited them from four others. He ordered them to have faith in Allah, and they said, 'We know that Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'The testimony that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing prayer, giving zakat, fasting Ramadan, and giving one-fifth of the spoils of war. He prohibited them from predatory animals, such as the dog and the eagle, and from slaughtered animals in the name of their idols. He also prohibited them from drinking out of pots and pipes made of the skin of dead animals.' He said, 'Keep them in mind and inform those who are behind you.'"  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ لَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مِمَنِ الوَفْدُ أَوْ قَالَ الْقَوْمُ ؟ قَالُوا رَبِيعَةُ قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِالْوَفْدِ أَوْ قَالَ الْقَوْمِ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلا نَدَامَى قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَيْنَاكَ مِنْ شُقَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ وَبَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ هَذَا الْحَيُّ مِنْ كُفَّارِ مُضَرَ وَلَسْنَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَأْتِيَكَ إِلا فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَأَخْبِرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَنُخْبِرُ بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا وَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ أَشْرِبَةٍ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْإِيمَانِ بِاللهِ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْإِيمَانُ بِاللهِ؟ قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ المَغْنَمِ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ قَالَ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ وَالْمُقَيَّرِ قَالَ احْفَظُوهُنَّ وَأَخْبِرُوا بِهِنَّ مَنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ  

[Machine] About the wine, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Indeed, the delegation of Abd al-Qais came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, 'Who is the delegation or who are they?' They said, 'They are the Rabia'ah.' He ﷺ said, 'Welcome to the people or to the delegation, who are not deceitful or treacherous.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we come to you from a distant, forbidding place. There are disbelievers between us and you, from the tribe of Mudar. And we can only come to you in the sacred month. So we have come with a matter that we will inform those who are behind us about, and we hope to enter Paradise with it.' He ﷺ gave them four commandments and prohibited them from four things. He commanded them to have faith in Allah alone and asked, 'Do you know what faith in Allah alone is?' They said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He ﷺ said, 'It is to testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to give charity, to observe the fast of Ramadan, and to give one-fifth of the war spoils. And he prohibited them from predatory hawks (du'ba'), the tame snake (hantam), and the muzaffat.'"

Note: Some of the mentioned terms may have different interpretations, as translating Old Arabic can be challenging due to language evolution and multiple possible meanings.  

عَنْ نَبِيذِ الْجَرِّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنِ الْوَفْدُ أَوْ مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ » قَالُوا رَبِيعَةُ قَالَ «مَرْحَبًا بِالْقَوْمِ أَوْ بِالْوَفْدِ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلَا نَدَامَى» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَأْتِيكَ مِنْ شُقَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ هَذَا الْحَيُّ مِنْ كُفَّارِ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَأْتِيَكَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نُخْبِرُ بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا وَنَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ وَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ؟ » قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ»  

"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. He said: 'The delegation of 'Abdul-Qais came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he said: Welcome to a delegation that is not disgraced or filled with regret. They said: O Messenger of Allah, the idolators are between us and you, and we can only reach you during the sacred months. Tell us of something which, if we do it, we will enter Paradise, and we can tell it to those whom we left behind. He said: I will enjoin three things upon you, and forbid four things to you. I order you to have faith in Allah, and do you know what faith in Allah is? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: (It means) testifying that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, establishing Salah, paying Zakah and giving one-fifth (the Khums) of the spoils of war. And I forbid four things to you: That which is soaked in Ad-Dubba', An-Naqir, Al-Hantam, and Al-Muzaffat.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5692)   

قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَرْحَبًا بِالْوَفْدِ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلَا نَادِمِينَ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي الْأَشْهُرِ الْحُرُمِ فَحَدِّثْنَا عَمَلًا مِنَ الْأَجْرِ إِذَا أَخَذْنَا بِهِ دَخَلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَنَدْعُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَرَاءِنَا فَقَالَ «آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الْإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ» قَالَ «وَهَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ؟ » قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَتُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْغَنَائِمِ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ النَّبِيذِ فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ»  

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 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."  

أَنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِمَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا مِمَّا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ «آمُرُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ آمُرُكُمْ بِشَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ»  

I used to sit with Ibn 'Abbas and he made me sit on his sitting place. He requested me to stay with him in order that he might give me a share from his property. So I stayed with him for two months. Once he told (me) that when the delegation of the tribe of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet, the Prophet ﷺ asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (Or) who are the delegate?" They replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabi'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 Messenger of Allah 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 Allah Alone and asked them, "Do you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "It means: 1. To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Messenger of Allah ﷺ. 2. To offer prayers perfectly 3. To pay the Zakat (obligatory charity) 4. To observe fast during the month of Ramadan. 5. And to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah's Cause). Then he forbade them four things, namely, Hantam, Dubba,' Naqir Ann Muzaffat or Muqaiyar; (These were the names of pots in which Alcoholic drinks were prepared) (The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the container 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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 53)   

إِنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا نَأْتِيكَ مِنْ شُقَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ وَإِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ هَذَا الْحَيَّ مِنْ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَأْتِيَكَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نُخْبِرْ بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا وَنَدْخُلْ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْإِيمَانِ بِاللهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْإِيمَانُ بِاللهِ؟» قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ وَنَهَاهُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ النَّقِيرُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ الْمَقِيرُ فَقَالَ «احْفَظُوهُ وَأَخْبِرُوا بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ»  

[Machine] I heard Ibn Abbas saying, "When the delegation of Abd al-Qays came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he asked, 'From which tribe are you?' They replied, 'From Rabi'ah.' He welcomed the delegation, saying, 'Welcome to the delegation, which does not include the Khazay and the Nadamah.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we are a group from Rabi'ah, and we have come to you from a far place. There is an unbelieving tribe, Mudhar, between us and you. We only come to you during the sacred month. So, give us some instructions that we can convey to those behind us and that will help us enter Paradise.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I command you to adhere to four things and forbid you from four things. I command you to have faith in Allah alone. Do you know what having faith in Allah means? It is to bear witness that there is no god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to pay Zakah, to fast in Ramadan, and to give one-fifth of the spoils. I forbid you from four things: from using animals with saddles and bells, from branding the face of animals, from slashing the ears of animals, and from cutting their tails. And sometimes, he ﷺ added, 'from docking their ears.'" So, remember and convey this to those behind you.  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ لَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مِمَّنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ قَالُوا مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِالْوَفْدِ غَيْرِ الْخَزَايَا وَلَا النَّدَامَى فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا حَيٌّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَإِنَّا نَأْتِيكَ مِنْ شُقَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ وَإِنَّهُ يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ هَذَا الْحِيُّ مِنْ كُفَّارِ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ فَصْلٍ نَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا وَنَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ آمُرُكُمْ بِالْإِيمَانِ بِاللهِ وَحْدَهُ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْإِيمَانُ بِاللهِ؟ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا مِنَ الْغَنَائِمِ الْخُمُسَ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ وَالْمُقَيَّرِ فَاحْفَظُوهُنَّ وَادْعُوا إِلَيْهِنَّ مَنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ  

[Machine] I said to Ibn Abbas, "I have a jar of sweet wine that I drink. When I drink too much of it, I join the people and attend the gathering. I am afraid of being rebuked." He said to me, "The delegation of Abd al-Qays has arrived, and they said, 'Welcome to the delegation, except for the Khazayah tribe.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, between us and you are the disbelieving Mudar people, and we can only come to you in the forbidden month. So we have devised a plan that we practice and invite others to do the same.' He said to them, 'I command you to have faith. Do you know what faith is?' They replied, 'It is the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and to establish prayer, give zakat, fast in Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the Sacred House.' He said, 'And I consider it to be giving one-fifth of the spoils of war, and I forbid you from drinking from a jar, a water bag, a wooden pitcher, or a hollowed-out log.'"  

قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ لِي جَرَّةَ نَبِيذٍ حُلْوٍ فَأَشْرَبُهُ فَإِذَا أَكْثَرْتُ مِنْهُ فَجَالَسْتُ الْقَوْمَ فَأَطَلْتُ الْمَجْلِسَ خِفْتُ أَنْ أَنْتَضِحَ فَقَالَ لِي قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا بِالْوَفْدِ غَيْرِ الْخَزَايَا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارَ مُضَرَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فَمُرْنَا بِأَمْرٍ نَعْمَلُ بِهِ وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا قَالَ آمُرُكُمْ بِالْإِيمَانِ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ وَأَنْ تُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومُوا رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجُّوا الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ قَالَ وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ وَتُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْغَنَائِمِ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الشُّرْبِ فِي الْجَرِّ وَالدُّبَّاءِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ وَالنَّقِيرِ  

The Prophet ﷺ observed the fast on the 10th of Muharram ('Ashura), and ordered (Muslims) to fast on that day, but when the fasting of the month of Ramadan was prescribed, the fasting of the 'Ashura' was abandoned. ʿAbdullah did not use to fast on that day unless it coincided with his routine fasting by chance.  

صَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَاشُورَاءَ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ تُرِكَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لاَ يَصُومُهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُوَافِقَ صَوْمَهُ  

[Machine] He said about Aashura, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted it and ordered its fasting. But when Ramadan was made obligatory, it was left. Abdullah used to observe fasting on it except when it coincided with his fast.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي عَاشُورَاءَ صَامَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَمَرَ بِصَوْمِهِ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ تُرِكَ فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَا يَصُومُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عَلَى صَوْمِهِ  

Fasting was observed on the day of 'Ashura' (i.e. 10th of Muharram) by the people of the Pre-lslamic Period. But when (the order of compulsory fasting) in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the Prophet said, "It is up to one to fast on it (i.e. day of 'Ashura') or not."  

كَانَ عَاشُورَاءُ يَصُومُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَصُمْهُ  

'Ashura is one of the days of Allah, so he who wished should observe fast and he who wished otherwise should abandon it.  

أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يَصُومُونَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَامَهُ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْتَرَضَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا افْتُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمٌ مِنْ أَيَّامِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ  

'Ashurah was a day on which we used to fast in pre-Islamic days. When (fasting of) Ramadan was prescribed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is one of the days of Allah ; he who wishes may fast on it.  

كَانَ عَاشُورَاءُ يَوْمًا نَصُومُهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا يَوْمٌ مِنْ أَيَّامِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ  

'Ashurah was a day on which we used to fast in pre-Islamic days. When (fasting of) Ramadan was prescribed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is one of the days of Allah ; he who wishes may fast on it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2443)   

كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا يَصُومُهُ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ سُئِلَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ هُوَ يَوْمٌ مِنْ أَيَّامِ اللهِ تَعَالَى مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ  

'Ashura is one of the days of Allah, so he who wished should observe fast and he who wished otherwise should abandon it. (Using translation from Muslim 1126a)  

أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يَصُومُونَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَامَهُ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْتَرَضَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا افْتُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمٌ مِنْ أَيَّامِ اللهِ تَعَالَى فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ  

"عَنِ ابْن عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَان يَومُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمًا يَصُومُهُ أَهْل الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ صَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ سُئِلَ عَنْهُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: هُوَ يَوْم مِنْ أَيَّامِ الله، فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَركَهُ".  

أنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يَصُومُونَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ، وأَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ صَامَهُ، والْمُسْلِمُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْتَرضَ رَمَضَانُ، فَلَمَّا افْتُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : إِنَّ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمٌ مِنْ أَيَّام الله فَمَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ  

A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Tell me of such a deed as will make me enter Paradise, if I do it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Worship Allah, and worship none along with Him, offer the (five) prescribed compulsory prayers perfectly, pay the compulsory Zakat, and fast the month of Ramadan." The Bedouin said, "By Him, in Whose Hands my life is, I will not do more than this."

When he (the Bedouin) left, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever likes to see a man of Paradise, then he may look at this man." Narrated Abu Zur'a: From the Prophet ﷺ the same as above.  

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ۔ قَالَ: «تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ، لاَ تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ، الْمَكْتُوبَةَ، وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ، وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ۔» قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا۔

فَلَمَّا وَلَّى، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا۔»  

Messenger of Allah, direct me to a deed by which I may be entitled to enter Paradise. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: You worship Allah and never associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayer, and pay the Zakat which is incumbent upon you, and observe the fast of Ramadan. He (the bedouin) said: By Him in Whose hand is my life, I will never add anything to it, nor will I diminish anything from it. When he (the bedouin) turned his back, the Prophet ﷺ said: He who is pleased to see a man from the dwellers of Paradise should catch a glimpse of him.  

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ لاَ تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا شَيْئًا أَبَدًا وَلاَ أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا  

Messenger of Allah, direct me to a deed by which I may be entitled to enter Paradise. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: You worship Allah and never associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayer, and pay the Zakat which is incumbent upon you, and observe the fast of Ramadan. He (the bedouin) said: By Him in Whose hand is my life, I will never add anything to it, nor will I diminish anything from it. When he (the bedouin) turned his back, the Prophet ﷺ said: He who is pleased to see a man from the dwellers of Paradise should catch a glimpse of him. (Using translation from Muslim 14b)  

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا شَيْئًا أَبَدًا وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا  

[Machine] A Bedouin man came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, guide me to a deed that if I perform it, I will enter Paradise." The Prophet replied, "Worship Allah alone, without associating any partners with Him, establish the obligatory prayers, give the obligatory charity, and fast during the month of Ramadan." The Bedouin man said, "By the One who has sent you with the truth, I will not increase or decrease upon this." Then, as he turned to leave, the Prophet said, "Whoever wants to see a man from the people of Paradise, let him look at this man."  

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ يَعْنِي الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered (the Muslims) to fast on the day of 'Ashura', and when fasting in the month of Ramadan was prescribed, it became optional for one to fast on that day ('Ashura') or not.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِصِيَامِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ كَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ  

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had ordered to observe fast (on 'Ashura) before the fasting in Ramadan was made obligatory. But when it became obligatory, then he who wished fasted on the day of Ashura, and he who wished did not observe it (on that day).  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِصِيَامِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْرَضَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ كَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said regarding the fast of the day of Ashura, after the fast of Ramadan was obligated: "Whoever wishes to fast it may do so, and whoever wishes to break his fast may do so."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلَ صَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ «مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَهُ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned Ramadan and said, "Do not fast unless you see the crescent (of Ramadan), and do not give up fasting till you see the crescent (of Shawwal), but if the sky is overcast (if you cannot see it), then act on estimation (i.e. count Sha'ban as 30 days).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ لاَ تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوُا الْهِلاَلَ وَلاَ تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدُرُوا لَهُ  

Do not fast till you see the new moon, and do not break fast till you see it; but if the weather is cloudy calculate about it.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ لاَ تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوُا الْهِلاَلَ وَلاَ تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ فَإِنْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدِرُوا لَهُ
