PROHIBITION OF LYING IN THE NAME OF THE PROPHET
Imam Muslim : 1
وَهُوَ الْأَثَرُ الْمَشْهُورُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ حَدَّثَ عَنِّي بِحَدِيثٍ يُرَى أَنَّهُ كَذِبٌ فَهُوَ أَحَدُ الْكَاذِبِينَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ أَيْضًا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَسُفْيَانَ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَلِكَ
It's a well-known narration from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) that he said, ""Whoever narrates a hadith from me which is thought to be a lie, then he is one of the liars."" Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah narrated to us, who said that Waki' narrated to us, from Shu'bah, from al-Hakam, from Abdurrahman bin Abi Layla, from Samurah bin Jundab. (In another narration), Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah narrated to us, who said that Waki' narrated to us, from Shu'bah and Sufyan, from Habib, from Maimun bin Abi Shabib, from al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah, both of whom said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said about this matter.
THE THREAT OF HELL FOR THOSE WHO LIE IN THE NAME OF THE PROPHET
Imam Muslim : 2
و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ح و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَخْطُبُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَكْذِبُوا عَلَيَّ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَكْذِبْ عَلَيَّ يَلِجْ النَّارَ

(In another narration) Muhammad bin al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar narrated to us, both of whom said that Muhammad bin Ja'far narrated to us, who said that Shu'bah narrated to us, from Manshur, from Rib'i bin Hirasy, that he heard 'Ali give a sermon, where he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ""Do not lie about me, for whoever lies about me will certainly enter the Fire.""
CAUTION IN NARRATING HADITH
Imam Muslim : 3
و حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ حَدِيثًا كَثِيرًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ تَعَمَّدَ عَلَيَّ كَذِبًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ
Zuhair bin Harb narrated to us, who said that Isma'il, that is Ibn 'Ulayyah, narrated to us, from 'Abdul 'Aziz bin Shuhaib, from Anas bin Malik, that he said, 'Verily, what prevents me from narrating many hadith to you is that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ""Whoever intentionally lies about me, should prepare his seat in the Fire.'""

And Ali bin Hujr as-Sa'di narrated to me, who said that Ali bin Mushir narrated to us, who said that Muhammad bin Qays al-Asdi informed us, from Ali bin Rabi'ah al-Asdi, from al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him) with a similar hadith, except that he did not mention, ""Indeed, lying about me is not like lying about anyone else.""

Abu Khaithamah Zuhayr bin Harb narrated to me, who said that Waki' narrated to us, from Kahmas, from 'Abdullah bin Buraydah, from Yahya bin Ya'mar. (In another narration) 'Ubaydullah bin Mu'adh al-'Anbari narrated to us, and this is his hadith, who said that my father narrated to us, who said that Kahmas narrated to us, from Ibn Buraydah, from Yahya bin Ya'mar, who said, ""The first person to discuss predestination in Basra was Ma'bad al-Juhani, so Humaid bin Abdurrahman al-Himyari and I went for Hajj or Umrah. We said, 'If only we could meet one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), we would ask him about what they are saying regarding predestination.' Abdullah bin 'Umar was destined (by Allah) for us, and he was entering the mosque. So my friend and I intercepted him. One of us was on his right side and the other on his left. I thought my friend would let me speak, so I said, 'O Abu Abdurrahman, there has appeared among us a people who recite the Qur'an and seek knowledge, yet they claim there is no predestination, and that the matter is new (not preceded by Allah's predestination and knowledge).' Abdullah bin 'Umar replied, 'If you meet those people, then tell them that I am free of them, and that they are free of me. And by the One by Whom the servant of Allah takes an oath, if one of you were to spend gold the size of Mount Uhud, his charity would not be accepted until he believes in predestination, both its good and its evil.' He said, 'Then he began to narrate the hadith and said, ''Umar bin al-Khattab said, 'We were once with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), when a man came whose clothes were extremely white and his hair was extremely black. There were no signs of travel on him, and none of us knew him, until he sat close to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and placed his knees against the Prophet's knees. Then he said, 'O Muhammad, inform me about Islam?' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied: ""To testify that there is no god (worthy of worship) except Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, to establish prayer, to pay zakat, to fast during Ramadan, and to perform Hajj to the House (Ka'bah) if you are able to make the journey to it."" He said, 'You have spoken the truth.' 'Umar said, 'We were surprised by him, as he would ask him a question and then confirm it.' He asked again, 'Inform me about faith?' He replied: ""To believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in predestination, both its good and its evil."" He said, 'You have spoken the truth.' He asked, 'Inform me about Ihsan?' He replied: ""To worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you do not see Him, then indeed He sees you."" He asked again, 'When will the Last Hour be?' He replied: ""The one who is asked does not know more than the one who is asking."" He asked, 'Then inform me about its signs?' He replied: ""When a female slave gives birth to her master, and when you see the barefooted, naked, poor, and shepherds of goats competing to build tall buildings."" Then he left. I was still astonished, then he said, ""O 'Umar, do you know who that questioner was?"" I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: ""That was Jibril, he came to you to teach you your religion."" Muhammad bin 'Ubayd al-Ghubari and Abu Kamil al-Jahdari and Ahmad bin 'Abdah narrated to us, who said that Hammad bin Zayd narrated to us, from Matar al-Warraq, from 'Abdullah bin Buraydah, from Yahya bin Ya'mar, who said, 'When Ma'bad said what he said about the issue of predestination, we disapproved of it.' He said again, 'Then I performed Hajj with Humaid bin Abdurrahman al-Himyari.' Then they mentioned a hadith similar in meaning to the hadith of Kahmas. In it there are some additions and omissions of letters."" And Muhammad bin Hatim narrated to us, who said that Yahya bin Sa'id al-Qattan narrated to us, who said that 'Uthman bin Ghiyath narrated to us, who said that 'Abdullah bin Buraydah narrated to us, from Yahya bin Ya'mar and Humaid bin Abdurrahman, both of whom said, ""We met 'Abdullah bin 'Umar, and we mentioned predestination and their opinion about it, then he narrated the hadith to us just as they did from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) from the Prophet (peace be upon him), and in it there are some additions and omissions."" And Hajjaj bin ash-Sha'ir narrated to us, who said that Yunus bin Muhammad narrated to us, who said that al-Mu'tamir narrated to us, from his father, from Yahya bin Ya'mar, from Ibn 'Umar, from 'Umar, from the Prophet (peace be upon him) with a similar hadith.

و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا بَارِزًا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِيمَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكِتَابِهِ وَلِقَائِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ الْآخِرِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِسْلَامُ قَالَ الْإِسْلَامُ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِحْسَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَا تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ قَالَ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنْ السَّائِلِ وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا إِذَا وَلَدَتْ الْأَمَةُ رَبَّهَا فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا كَانَتْ الْعُرَاةُ الْحُفَاةُ رُءُوسَ النَّاسِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا تَطَاوَلَ رِعَاءُ الْبَهْمِ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا فِي خَمْسٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَلَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ { إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ } قَالَ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ الرَّجُلَ فَأَخَذُوا لِيَرُدُّوهُ فَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ جَاءَ لِيُعَلِّمَ النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيُّ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ إِذَا وَلَدَتْ الْأَمَةُ بَعْلَهَا يَعْنِي السَّرَارِيَّ
Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah and Zuhayr bin Harb narrated to us, all from Ibn 'Ulayyah. Zuhayr said, Isma'il bin Ibrahim narrated to us, from Abu Hayyan, from Abu Zur'ah bin 'Amr bin Jarir, from Abu Hurayrah, who said, ""One day, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was in front of the people, when a man came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is faith?' He replied, 'To believe in Allah, His angels, His books, to believe in the event of meeting with Him, to believe in His messengers, and to believe in the Last Resurrection.' He asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?' He replied, 'Islam is that you worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, to establish the obligatory prayer, to pay the obligatory zakat, and to fast Ramadan.' He asked again, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is Ihsan?' He replied, 'You worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you do not see Him, then indeed He sees you.' He asked again, 'O Messenger of Allah, when will the Hour be?' He replied, 'The one who is asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking, but I will tell you about its signs: when a female slave gives birth to her master. That is one of its signs. And when the naked, barefooted become the leaders of men. That is one of its signs. And when the shepherds of goats compete in building tall buildings. That is one of its signs among the five signs that no one knows except Allah.' Then he (peace be upon him) recited: '(Indeed, Allah, with Him is knowledge of the Hour and He sends down the rain, and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.)' (Q.s. Luqman: 34). Then the man went back. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ""Call that man back to me."" So they began to call him, but they did not see anything. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ""This was Jibril, who came to teach the people about their religion."" Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numayr narrated to us, who said that Muhammad bin Bisyr narrated to us, who said that Abu Hayyan at-Taymi narrated to us with this chain a similar hadith, except that in his narration there is the phrase, 'When a female slave gives birth to her husband,' meaning the concubines.
JIBRIL TEACHES HIS COMPANIONS ABOUT ISLAM
Imam Muslim : 11
حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْقَعْقَاعِ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَلُونِي فَهَابُوهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِسْلَامُ قَالَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِيمَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكِتَابِهِ وَلِقَائِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ كُلِّهِ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِحْسَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تَخْشَى اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَا تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ قَالَ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنْ السَّائِلِ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَرْأَةَ تَلِدُ رَبَّهَا فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الصُّمَّ الْبُكْمَ مُلُوكَ الْأَرْضِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ رِعَاءَ الْبَهْمِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا فِي خَمْسٍ مِنْ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ { إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ } قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُدُّوهُ عَلَيَّ فَالْتُمِسَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ أَرَادَ أَنْ تَعَلَّمُوا إِذْ لَمْ تَسْأَلُوا
Zuhayr bin Harb narrated to us, who said that Jarir narrated to us, from 'Umarah—that is Ibn al-Qa'qa'—from Abu Zur'ah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ""Ask me."" But they were afraid and hesitant to ask him. So a man came and sat in front of his knees. The man asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?' He replied, 'Islam is that you do not associate anything with Allah, you establish prayer, you pay zakat, and you fast Ramadan.' He said, 'You have spoken the truth.' Then he asked again, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is faith?' He replied, 'You believe in Allah, His angels, His books, you believe in the event of meeting with Him, you believe in His messengers, you believe in the Resurrection, and you believe in all of predestination.' He said, 'You have spoken the truth.' Then he asked again, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is Ihsan?' He replied, 'You fear (khashyah) Allah as if you see Him, for if you do not see Him, then indeed He sees you.' He said, 'You have spoken the truth.' Then he asked again, 'O Messenger of Allah, when will the Hour be?' He replied, 'The one who is asked about it does not know its answer more than the one who is asking, but I will tell you about its signs: when you see a female slave giving birth to her master. That is one of its signs. And when you see the barefooted, naked, deaf, and dumb becoming the leaders of the people on earth. That is one of its signs. And when you see the shepherds of goats competing in building tall buildings. That is one of its signs among the five signs of the unseen that no one knows except Allah.' Then he recited: '(Indeed, Allah, with Him is knowledge of the Hour and He sends down the rain, and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.)' (Q.s. Luqman: 34). Then the man got up (and left), and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ""Call him to me!"" So they looked for him, but they did not find him. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, ""This man was Jibril, who wanted you to learn (religion) since you did not ask.""

Qutaybah bin Sa'id bin Jamil bin Tarif bin Abdullah ats-Tsaqafi narrated to us, from Malik bin Anas in a narration recited to him, from Abu Suhail, from his father, that he heard Talhah bin Ubaydullah say, ""A man from the people of Najd with unkempt hair came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). We heard the murmuring of his voice, but we could not understand what he was saying until he came close to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). It turned out he was asking about Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied: 'Islam is five prayers a day and night.' He asked again, 'Do I have any obligations other than that?' He replied: 'No, unless you perform voluntary prayers and fast Ramadan.' He asked, 'Do I have any obligations other than that?' He replied: 'No, unless you perform voluntary fasting,' and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) mentioned (the obligation of) zakat to him. He asked again, 'Do I have any obligations other than that?' He replied: 'No, unless you give voluntary charity.' The narrator said, ""Then the man turned and left, and he said, 'By Allah, I will not add more than this and will not decrease from it.' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ""He will be happy if he is truthful (in doing it)."" Yahya bin Ayyub and Qutaybah bin Sa'id narrated to us, all from Isma'il bin Ja'far, from Abu Suhail, from his father, from Talhah bin 'Ubaydullah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him) with this hadith like the hadith of Malik, except that he said, ""The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ""He will be happy, -by his father- if he is truthful,"" or ""He will enter Paradise, -by his father- if he is truthful.'""

Amr bin Muhammad bin Bukayr an-Naqid narrated to us, who said that Hashim bin al-Qasim Abu an-Nadr narrated to us, who said that Sulayman bin al-Mughirah narrated to us, from Tsabit, from Anas bin Malik, who said, ""We were hesitant to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) about anything, so we were amazed at the arrival of an intelligent man from the desert dwellers. He asked, and we listened. Then a man from the desert dwellers came and said, 'O Muhammad, your messenger came to us and claimed that you claim that Allah sent you.' The Messenger of Allah replied: 'It is true.' He asked, 'Who created the heaven?' The Messenger of Allah replied: 'Allah.' He asked, 'Who created the earth?' The Messenger of Allah replied: 'Allah.' He asked, 'Who set up these mountains and put everything He created inside them?' He replied: 'Allah.' He asked, 'So by the One who created the heaven, created the earth, and set up these mountains, did Allah really send you?' He replied: 'Yes.' He asked, 'Your messenger claims that we are obligated to perform five prayers a day and night, is this true?' He replied: 'It is true.' He asked, 'By the One who sent you, did Allah command you to do this?' He replied: 'Yes.' He asked, 'Your messenger claims that we are obligated to fast Ramadan every year, is this true?' He replied: 'Yes.' He asked, 'By the One who sent you, did Allah command you to do this?' He replied: 'Yes.' He asked, 'Your messenger claims that we are obligated to perform Hajj for those among us who are able to make the journey, is this true?' He replied, 'Yes, it is true.' Then he turned away and said, 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I will not add to these obligations and I will not decrease from them.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ""If he is truthful (in what he said), he will surely enter Paradise."" Abdullah bin Hashim al-Abdi narrated to us, who said that Bahz narrated to us, who said that Sulayman bin al-Mughirah narrated to us, from Tsabit, who said, Anas said, ""We were hesitant to ask about anything from the Qur'an to the Messenger of Allah."" Then he brought a similar hadith.

Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numayr al-Hamdani narrated to us, who said that my father narrated to us, who said that 'Amr bin 'Uthman narrated to us, who said that Musa bin Talhah narrated to us, who said that Abu Ayyub narrated to me, that a Bedouin stopped the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was on a journey. Then he grabbed the camel's halter or rein, and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, or O Muhammad, inform me about something that will bring me closer to Paradise and something that will take me away from the Fire?' The narrator said, 'Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) stopped and looked at his companions, then said: ""He has been guided or has been given guidance."" He asked, 'What did you say?' The narrator said, 'Then he repeated it.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ""You worship Allah, and you do not associate anything with Him, you establish prayer, you pay zakat, and you maintain the ties of kinship, then leave the camel.""

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ أَعْمَلُهُ يُدْنِينِي مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنْ النَّارِ قَالَ تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصِلُ ذَا رَحِمِكَ فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِمَا أُمِرَ بِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ إِنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهِ
Yahya bin Yahya at-Tamimi narrated to us, who said that Abu al-Ahwash informed us. (In another narration) Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah narrated to us, who said that Abu al-Ahwash narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Musa bin Talhah, from Abu Ayyub, who said, ""A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and asked, 'Guide me to a deed that will bring me closer to Paradise and take me away from the Fire?' He replied: 'You worship Allah, and you do not associate anything with Him, you establish prayer, you pay zakat, and you maintain kinship ties with family.' When he left, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ""If he holds on to what he has been commanded, he will surely enter Paradise."" And in one narration of Ibn Abi Shaybah, ""If he holds on to it.""
MANDATORY PRACTICES TO ENTER HEAVEN
Imam Muslim : 16
و حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا شَيْئًا أَبَدًا وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا
Abu Bakr bin Ishaq narrated to me, who said that 'Affan narrated to us, who said that Wuhaib narrated to us, who said that Yahya bin Sa'id narrated to us, from Abu Zur'ah, from Abu Hurayrah, that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, guide me to a deed which, if I do it, I will enter Paradise?' He replied: 'You worship Allah, and you do not associate anything with Him, you establish the obligatory prayer, you pay the obligatory zakat, and you fast Ramadan.' He said, 'By the One in whose Hand my soul is, I will not add to this at all and will not decrease from it.' When he left, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ""Whoever wants to look at a man from the people of Paradise, let him look at him.""
MINIMUM DEEDS TO ENTER HEAVEN
Imam Muslim : 17
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ قَوْقَلٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلَالَ أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعَمْ و حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ وَالْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ وَأَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ قَوْقَلٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَا فِيهِ وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا
Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah and Abu Kurayb narrated to us, and the wording is Abu Kurayb's. They both said that Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Abu Sufyan, from Jabir, who said, ""An-Nu'man bin Qauqal came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if I perform the obligatory prayers, forbid what is forbidden, and permit what is permissible, will I enter Paradise?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: 'Yes.'"" And Hajjaj bin ash-Sha'ir and al-Qasim bin Zakariya' narrated to me, both of whom said that 'Ubaydullah bin Musa narrated to us, from Shayban, from al-A'mash, from Abu Salih and Abu Sufyan, from Jabir, who said, 'An-Nu'man bin Qauqal said, 'O Messenger of Allah',' with a similar narration, except that he added, 'And I will not add anything to that at all.'
REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTERING HEAVEN WITH MANDATORY PRACTICES
Imam Muslim : 18
و حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلَالَ وَحَرَّمْتُ الْحَرَامَ وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا أَأَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا
Salamah bin Shabib narrated to me, who said that al-Hasan bin A'yan narrated to us, who said that Ma'qil—that is Ibn 'Ubaydullah—narrated to us, from Abu az-Zubayr, from Jabir, that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), ""What do you think if I perform the obligatory prayers, fast Ramadan, permit what is permissible, and forbid what is forbidden, but I do not add any more deeds to that, will I enter Paradise?"" The Messenger of Allah replied: ""Yes."" He said, ""By Allah, I will not add anything to these deeds at all.""
FIVE BASIC PILLARS OF ISLAM
Imam Muslim : 19
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ حَيَّانَ الْأَحْمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسَةٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُوَحَّدَ اللَّهُ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَصِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ وَالْحَجِّ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ الْحَجُّ وَصِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ لَا صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ وَالْحَجُّ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Muhammad bin 'Abdullah bin Numayr al-Hamdani narrated to us, who said that Abu Khalid—that is Sulayman bin Hayyan al-Ahmar—narrated to us, from Abu Malik al-Ashja'i, from Sa'ad bin Ubaydah, from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: ""Islam is built upon five foundations: That Allah is made one (in worship), to establish prayer, to pay zakat, to fast Ramadan, and to perform Hajj."" A man asked, 'Is it Hajj and (then) fasting Ramadan?' He replied: 'No, fasting Ramadan and (then) Hajj.' This is how I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
FIVE FOUNDATIONS OF ISLAM
Imam Muslim : 20
و حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ السُّلَمِيُّ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُعْبَدَ اللَّهُ وَيُكْفَرَ بِمَا دُونَهُ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَحَجِّ الْبَيْتِ وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ
Sahl bin 'Uthman al-Askari narrated to us, who said that Yahya bin Zakariya narrated to us, who said that Sa'ad bin Tariq narrated to us, who said that Sa'ad bin Ubaydah as-Sulami narrated to me, from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: ""Islam is built upon five foundations: To worship Allah and to reject everything else, to establish prayer, to pay zakat, to perform Hajj to the House of Allah, and to fast Ramadan.""
