Narrated: Abu Huraira
One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked, "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle replied, 'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you." Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be established?" Allah's Apostle replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.
2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah.
The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet said, "That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith.

Narrated: Abu Huraira
One day the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) appeared before the public that a man came
to him and said: Prophet of Allah, (tell me) what is Iman.
Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you affirm your
faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His
Messengers and that you affirm your faith in the Resurrection
hereafter. He (again) said: Messenger of Allah, (tell me) what
does al-Islam signify. He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Al-Islam
signifies that you worship Allah and do not associate anything
with Him and you establish obligatory prayer and you pay the
obligatory poor-rate (Zakat) and you observe the fast of
Ramadan. He (the inquirer) again said: Messenger of Allah,
what does al-Ihsan imply? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That
you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and in case you
fail to see Him, then observe prayer (with this idea in your
mind) that (at least) He is seeing you. He (the inquirer)
again said: Messenger of Allah, when would there be the hour
(of Doom)? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: The one who is asked
about it is no better informed than the inquirer. I, however,
narrate some of its signs (and these are): when the slave girl
will give birth to he master, when the naked, barefooted would
become the chiefs of the people, these are some of the signs
of (Doom). (Moreover) when the shepherds of the black (camels)
would exult themselves in buildings, this is one of the signs
of (Doom). (Doom) is one of the five (happenings wrapped in
the unseen) which no one knows but Allah. Then he (the
Messenger of Allah) recited (the verse):"Verily Allah! with
Him alone is the knowledge of the hour and He it is Who sends
(down the rain) and knows that which is in the wombs and no
person knows whatsoever he shall earn tomorrow, and a person
knows not in whatsoever land he shall die. Verily Allah is
Knowing, Aware. He (the narrator, Abu Huraira) said: Then the
person turned back and went away. The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: Bring that man back to me. They (the
Companions of the Holy Prophet present there) went to bring
him back, but they saw nothing there. Upon this the Messenger
of Allah remarked: he was Gabriel, who came to teach the
people their religion.

Hadith no: 1
Narrated: Yahya bin Yamur
that the
first man who discussed about Qadr (Divine Decree) in Basra
was Ma'bad al?Juhani. I along with Humaid b. 'Abdur?Rahman
Himyari set out for prilgrimage or for 'Umrah and said: Should
it so happen that we come into contact with one of the
Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) we
shall ask him a bout what is talked about Taqdir (Division
Decree). Accidentally we came across Abdullah ibn Umar ibn
al?Khattab, while he was entering the mosque. My companion and
I surrounded him. One of us (stood) on his right and the other
stood on his left. I expected that my companion would
authorize me to speak. I therefore said: Abu Abdur Rahman!
there have appeared some people in our land who recite the
Holy Qur'an and pursue knowledge. And then after talking about
their affairs, added: They (such people) claim that there is
no such thing as Divine Decree and events are not predestined.
He (Abdullah ibn Umar) said: When you happen to meet such
people tell them that I have nothing to do with them and they
have nothing to do with me. And verily they are in no way
responsible for my (belief). Abdullah ibn Umar swore by Him
(the Lord) (and said): If any one of them (who does not
believe in the Divine Decree) had with him gold equal to the
bulk of (the mountain) Uhud and then, it (in the way of
Allah), Allah would not accept it unless he affirmed his faith
in Divine Decree. He further said: My father, Umar ibn
al?Khattab, told me: One day we were sitting in the company of
Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) when there appeared before
us a man dressed in pure white clothes, his hair
extraordinarily black. There were no signs of travel on him.
None amongst us recognized him. At last he sat with the
Apostle (peace be upon him) He knelt before him placed his palms on his thighs and said: Muhammad, inform me about
al?Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
Al?Islam implies that you testify that there is no god but
Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and you
establish prayer, pay Zakat, observe the fast of Ramadan, and
perform pilgrimage to the (House) if you are solvent enough
(to bear the expense of) the journey. He (the inquirer) said:
You have told the truth. He (Umar ibn al?Khattab) said: It
amazed us that he would put the question and then he would
himself verify the truth. He (the inquirer) said: Inform me
about Iman (faith). He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you
affirm your faith in Allah, in His angels, in His Books, in
His Apostles, in the Day of Judgment, and you affirm your
faith in the Divine Decree about good and evil. He (the
inquirer) said: You have told the truth. He (the inquirer)
again said: Inform me about al?Ihsan (performance of good
deeds). He (the Holy Prophet) said: That you worship Allah as
if you are seeing Him, for though you don't see Him, He,
verily, sees you. He (the enquirer) again said: Inform me
about the hour (of the Doom). He (the Holy Prophet) remarked:
One who is asked knows no more than the one who is inquiring
(about it). He (the inquirer) said: Tell me some of its
indications. He (the Holy Prophet) said: That the slave?girl
will give birth to her mistress and master, that you will find
barefooted, destitute goat?herds vying with one another in the
construction of magnificent buildings. He (the narrator, Umar
ibn al?Khattab) said: Then he (the inquirer) went on his way
but I stayed with him (the Holy Prophet) for a long while. He
then, said to me: Umar, do you know who this inquirer was? I
replied: Allah and His Apostle knows best. He (the Holy
Prophet) remarked: He was Gabriel (the angel). He came to you
in order to instruct you in matters of religion.
