4777. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: One day, while Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was sitting with the people, a man came to him walking and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! What is Faith?" The Prophet ﷺ said "Faith is to believe in Allāh, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Meeting with Him, and to believe in the Resurrection." The man asked, "O Allāh's Messenger! What is Islām?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Islām is to worship Allāh Alone and not to worship anything besides Him, to perform Iqāmat-aṣ-Ṣalāt(1), to pay Zakāt and to observe Ṣaum (fasts) during the month of Ramaḍān." The man further asked, "O Allāh's Messenger! What is Iḥsān (perfection or benevolence)?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Iḥsān is to worship Allāh as if you see Him, and if you do not achieve this state of devotion, then (you must consider that) Allāh is looking at you." The man further asked, "O Allāh's Messenger! When will the Hour be established?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will describe to you its portents. When a lady slave gives birth to her mistress, that will be of its portents; when the bare-footed naked people become the chiefs of the people; that will be of its portents. The Hour is one of the five things which nobody knows except Allāh." (The Prophet ﷺ then recited), "Verily, Allāh! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die,..." (V.31:34) Then that man left. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Call him back to me." They went to call him back but could not see him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "That was (the angel) Jibrīl (Gabriel) who came to teach the people their religion."

4777 - حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَوْمًا بَارِزًا لِلنَّاسِ، إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ: «الإِيمَانُ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ، وَكُتُبِهِ، وَرُسُلِهِ، وَلِقَائِهِ، وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ الآخِرِ» قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِسْلاَمُ؟ قَالَ: «الإِسْلاَمُ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةَ، وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ المَفْرُوضَةَ، وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِحْسَانُ؟ قَالَ: الإِحْسَانُ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ: " مَا المَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ، وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا: إِذَا وَلَدَتِ المَرْأَةُ رَبَّتَهَا، فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا، وَإِذَا كَانَ الحُفَاةُ العُرَاةُ رُءُوسَ النَّاسِ، فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا، فِي خَمْسٍ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ: (إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنْزِلُ الغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ) ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ: «رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ» فَأَخَذُوا لِيَرُدُّوا فَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ: «هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ جَاءَ لِيُعَلِّمَ النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ»
