4369. Narrated Ibn 'Abbas رضي الله عنهما: The delegation of 'Abdul-Qais came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We belong to the tribe of Rabī'a. The infidels of Muḍār tribe intervened between us and you so that we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months, so please order us some things we may act on and invite those left behind to act on." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I order you to observe four things and forbid you from four things: (I order you) to believe in Allāh, i.e., to testify that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)." The Prophet ﷺ pointed with finger indicating one and added, "Iqamat-aṣ-Ṣalāt [perform Aṣ-Ṣalāt (prayers) perfectly], to give Zakāt, and to give one-fifth of the booty (for Allāh's sake). I forbid you to use Ad-Dubbā, An-Naqīr, Al-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat (utensils used for preparing alcoholic liquors and drinks)."
