Narrated: Ibn Abbas
that a
delegation of Abdul Qais came to the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) and said: 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 bin 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.
