English translation
3510. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: The delegates of 'Abdul-Qais came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We are from the tribe of Rabī'a and the infidels of Muḍar tribe intervene between us and you, so that we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months. Therefore we would like you to give us some instructions which we may follow and convey to our people staying behind us." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I order you to observe four things and forbid you (to do) four things : I order you : (1) To believe in Allāh i.e., to testifying that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped except Allāh), (2) to perform (the prayer) Aṣ-Ṣalāt (Iqāmat-as-Ṣalāt), (3) to pay the Zakāt, (4) and to give one-fifth of the war booty to Allāh. And I forbid you to use Ad-Dubbā', Al-Ḥantam, An-Naqīr and Al-Muzaffat." (These are names of utensils in which alcoholic drinks used to be prepared).
