7266. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهم: When the delegates of 'Abd Al-Qais came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, he said, "Who are the delegate?" They said, "We are from the tribe of Rabī'a." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Welcome, O the delegation, and welcome! O people! Neither you will have any disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Between us and you there are the infidels of the tribe of Muḍar, so please order us to do something good (religious deeds) so that by acting on them we may enter Paradise, and that we may inform (our people) whom we have left behind." They also asked (the Prophet ﷺ) about drinks. He forbade them from four things and ordered them to do four things. He ordered them to believe in Allāh, and asked them, "Do you know what is meant by belief in Allāh?" They said, "Allāh and His Messenger know better." He said, "To testify that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh the One), Who has no partners with Him, and that I, Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh; and to perform the prayers. Iqāmat-aṣ-Ṣalāt(1) and to pay Zakāt." The narrator thinks that he ﷺ also said: To observe Ṣaum (fast) during the month of Ramaḍān, and to give one-fifth of the war booty (to the state). Then he forbade four (drinking utensils): Ad-Dubbā, Al-Hantam, Al-Muzaffat and An-Naqīr; he ﷺ also probably said, Al-Muqaiyar(2). And then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Remember all these things by heart and preach it to those whom you have left behind." (See H. 53)
