Has told us 'Affan has told us Abu Khalaf, Musa bin Khalaf who is considered in Al Budala`, has told us Yahya bin Abu Kathir from Zaid bin Sallam from his grandfather Mamthur from Al Harith Al Ash'ari indeed the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said: "Allah Azzawajalla ordered Yahya bin Zakariya 'alaihissalam in five sentences to be practiced, and ordered the Bani Isra'il that they should practice it. But Yahya almost slowed it down. Then 'Isa said to him, 'Indeed you are ordered with five sentences, so that you practice it, you also command the Bani Isra`il to practice it. Now you are the one who conveys it, or I am the one who conveys it.' Then he said: 'O my brother, I was afraid that if you went ahead of me, I would be tortured or drowned'." (The Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: "Then Yahya gathered the Bani Isra`il in Baitul Maqdis, until the mosque was full, he sat at the Imam's seat, praised Allah and said: 'Allah Azzawajalla has ordered me to practice five things and that you also practice it. The first is: you worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him. An example of that is like a person who buys a slave from his property for a sum of money or from gold, unfortunately the slave works and does his work for other than his master, then whoever who feels happy about it?. Verily Allah Azzawajalla has created you, provided you with sustenance, worship Him and do not associate with anything. I command you to pray. Verily Allah Azzawajalla turns His face to the face of His servant, as long as he doesn't turn around. If you pray, don't look back. I believe command you to fast, suppose it is like a person who brings a bottle of perfume to a group of people all feel the fragrance. The smell of the mouth of a person who is fasting in the sight of Allah is more fragrant than the smell of musk. I command you to give charity. Indeed, an example of that is a person who is taken captive by the enemy, then he binds his hands around his neck, and puts him in front of him to be killed. Then he made an offer, 'Would you like it if I ransomed myself from you? ' Then he redeemed himself for the little and the much so that he might be free. I instruct you to make dhikr to Allah Azzawajalla a lot. An example of that is like a person whose enemy chases him quickly and then he finds a strong fortress, he makes the fort as a place of refuge. Verily, a servant will be better protected from Satan if he is in a state of remembrance of Allah Azzawajalla." (Al Harith Al Asy'ari Radliyallahu'anhu) said; then the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said: "I command you with five things that Allah has commanded
