- the praise and peace be
upon him - with his knees touching his. Then, placing his hands
on his thighs he said: 'Tell me, Muhammad about Islam'.
He replied: 'Islam means that you bear witness that there is
no god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah, that you pray (the five daily prayers), pay the obligatory
charity, fast the month of Ramadan and make the Pilgrimage
to the House (Ka'bah in Mecca) if you have the means'.
The man replied: 'You have spoken the truth.' We were surprised
at his questioning and then confirming that he had spoken
the truth.
Then the man asked: 'Now tell me about Iman (belief).' He replied:
'It means that you believe in Allah, His angels, His Messengers
and the Last Day, and that you believe in both the
decree of good and evil.' The man replied: 'You have spoken
the truth'.
'Now tell me about Ihsan (linguistically, perfecting).' He replied:
'It means that you worship Allah as if you are seeing
Him, because He sees you although you do not see Him'.
Then the man asked: 'Now tell me about the Hour.' He replied:
'The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the
one who is asking.' So the man asked: 'Then tell me about
its signs?' He replied: 'That the maid servant will give birth
to her mistress and the bare-footed, naked, poor herders
are seen living arrogantly in high buildings'.
Then the man departed, and after I had waited for a long time
-the Prophet, the praise and peace be upon him - asked me:
'Do you know who the questioner was Umar?' I replied: 'Allah
and His Messenger know best.' So he told me: 'He was Gabriel
who came to teach you your Religion'.
