Sahih Muslim Book 1 - Hadith 10-11
It
is reported on the authority of Anas b. Malik that he said:
We
were forbidden that we should ask anything (without the genuine need) from the
Holy Prophet. It, therefore, pleased us that an intelligent person from the
dwellers of the desert should come and asked him (the Holy Prophet) and we
should listen to it. A man from the dwellers of the desert came (to the Holy
Prophet) and said: Muhammad, your messenger came to us and told us your
assertion that verily Allah had sent you (as a prophet). He (the Holy Prophet)
remarked: He told the truth. He (the bedouin) said: Who created the heaven? He
(the Holy Prophet) replied: Allah. He (the bedouin again) said: Who created the
earth? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Allah. He (the bedouin again) said: Who
raised these mountains and who created in them whatever is created there? He
(the Holy Prophet) replied: Allah. Upon this he (the bedouin) remarked: By Him
Who created the heaven and created the earth and raised mountains thereupon,
has Allah (in fact) sent you? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. He (the bedouin)
said: Your messenger also told us that five prayers (had been made) obligatory
for us during the day and the night. He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: He told
you the truth. He (the bedouin) said: By Him Who sent you, is it Allah Who
ordered you about this (i. e. prayers)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. He
(the bedouin) said: Your messenger told us that Zakat had been made obligatory
in our riches. He (the Holy Prophet) said. He has told the truth. He (the
bedouin) said: By Him Who sent you (as a prophet), is it Allah Who ordered you
about it (Zakat)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. He (the bedouin) said: Your
messenger told us that it had been made obligatory for us to fast every year
during the month of Ramadan. He (the Holy Prophet) said: He has told the truth.
He (the bedouin) said: By Him Who sent you (as a prophet), is it Allah Who
ordered you about it (the fasts of Ramadan)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes.
He (the bedouin) said: Your messenger also told us that pilgrimage (Hajj) to
the House (of Ka'bah) had been made obligatory for him who is able to undertake
the journey to it. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. The narrator said that he
(the bedouin) set off (at the conclusion of this answer, but at the time of his
departure) remarked: 'By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I would neither make
any addition to them nor would I diminish anything out of them. Upon this the
Prophet remarked: If he were true (to what he said) he must enter Paradise. (Sahih Muslim
Book 1-Hadith 10)
It
is narrated on the authority of Thabit that Anas said:
We were forbidden in the Holy Qur'an that we should ask about anything from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and then Anas reported the hadith in similar words. (Sahih Muslim Book 1-Hadith 11)
