Mawaqit As-Salat - 26th Jumada-ath-Thani 1423 (5 September 2002) Narrated by Ibn Abbas (Radhiallaho anho): "Once a delegation of 'Abdul Qais came to Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and said, 'We belong to such and such branch of the tribe of Rab'a and we can only come to you in the sacred months. Order us to do something good so that we may (carry out) take it from you and also invite to it our people whom we have left behind (at home).' The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, " I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things. (The first four are as follows): 1. To believe in Allah. (And then he (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) explained it to them i.e. to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and I (Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)) am Allah's Messenger. 2. To offer prayers perfectly (at the stated times) 3. To pay Zakat (obligatory charity) 4. To give me Khumus (The other four things which are forbidden are as follows): 1. Dubba 2. Hantam 3. Muqaiyat 4. Naqir (all these are utensils used for the preparation of alcoholic drinks)." Bukhari Vol. 1 : No. 501 -- You are subscribed as [email protected] Tell others about AHAD - A Hadith A Day!
