1398. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: A delegation of the tribe of ‘Abdul Qais came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! We are from the tribe of Rabī‘a, and the infidels of the tribe of Muḍar stands between us and you; so we cannot come to you except during the Sacred Months. Please order us to do something (religious deeds) which we may take it from you (carry out); and also invite to it our people whom we have left behind.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “I order you to do four things and forbid you four others: (I order you) to have faith in Allāh, and confess that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) [and the Prophet ﷺ gestured with his hand like this (i.e., one knot)] and to perform Iqāmat-as-Salāt and to pay the compulsory Zakāt, and to pay one-fifth of the booty in Allāh’s Cause. And I forbid you to use Dubbā, Hantam, Naqīr and Muzaffat (all these are the names of utensils used for preparing alcoholic drinks)."
