4368. Narrated Abū Jamra: I said to Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: I have an earthenware pot containing Nabīdh (i.e., water and dates or grapes) for me, and I drink of it while it is sweet. If I drink much of it and stay with the people for a long time, I get afraid that they may discover it (for I will appear as if I were drunk). Ibn 'Abbās said, "A delegation of 'Abdul-Qais came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and he said, 'Welcome, O people! Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret.' They said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! There are the Muḍar Mushrikūn (pagans) between you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months. So please tell us some orders to do something good (religious deeds) on acting upon which we will enter Paradise. Besides, we will preach that to our people who are behind us.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things (I order you): To believe in Allāh. Do you know what is to believe in Allāh? That is to testify that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)... I order you also for Iqamāt-as-Ṣalāt [to perform Ṣalāt (prayers) perfectly],(1) to pay Zakāt; and to observe Ṣaum (fasting) during the month of Ramaḍān and to give the Khumus (i.e., one-fifth of the booty) (for Allāh's sake). I forbid you from four things (i.e., the wine that is prepared in): Ad-Dubbā, An-Naqīr, Al-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat." (See Vol. 1, Ḥadīth No.53)

4368 - حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ العَقَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ، عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ، قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: إِنَّ لِي جَرَّةً يُنْتَبَذُ لِي نَبِيذٌ، فَأَشْرَبُهُ حُلْوًا فِي جَرٍّ، إِنْ أَكْثَرْتُ مِنْهُ، فَجَالَسْتُ القَوْمَ فَأَطَلْتُ الجُلُوسَ، خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَفْتَضِحَ، فَقَالَ: قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ القَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مَرْحَبًا بِالقَوْمِ، غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلاَ النَّدَامَى»، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ المُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ مُضَرَ، وَإِنَّا لاَ نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي أَشْهُرِ الحُرُمِ، حَدِّثْنَا بِجُمَلٍ مِنَ الأَمْرِ: إِنْ عَمِلْنَا بِهِ دَخَلْنَا الجَنَّةَ، وَنَدْعُو بِهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا. قَالَ: «آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ، هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ؟ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ، وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا مِنَ المَغَانِمِ الخُمُسَ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ، مَا انْتُبِذَ فِي الدُّبَّاءِ، وَالنَّقِيرِ، وَالحَنْتَمِ، وَالمُزَفَّتِ»
