1402. It was narrated from Sharik bin 'Abdullāh bin Abu Namir that he heard Anas bin Mālik say: "While we were sitting in the mosque, a man entered riding a camel; he made it kneel in the mosque, then he hobbled it and said to them: 'Which of you is Muhammad?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was reclining among them, so they said: 'This fair-skinned man who is reclining.' The man said to him: 'O son of 'Abdul-Muttalib! The Prophet ﷺ said: 'I am listening to you.' The man said: O Muhammad! I am asking you and will be stern in asking, so do not bear any ill-feelings towards me.' He said: 'Ask whatever you think.' The man said: 'I abjure you by your Lord and the Lord of those who came before you, has Allāh sent you to all of mankind?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I abjure you by Allāh, has Allāh commanded you to pray the five prayers each day and night?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I abjure you by Allāh, has Allāh commanded you to fast this month each year?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I abjure you by Allāh, has Allāh commanded you to take this charity from our rich and distribute it among our poor?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By Allāh, yes.' The man said: 'I believe in what you have brought, and I am the envoy of my people who are behind me. I am Dimām bin Tha'labah, the brother of Banu Sa'd bin Bakr.'" (Sahih)

1402 - حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ فَأَنَاخَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، ثُمَّ عَقَلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: أَيُّكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ؟، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَّكِئٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ، قَالَ: فَقَالُوا: هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الْأَبْيَضُ الْمُتَّكِئُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ: يَا ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَدْ أَجَبْتُكَ» فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ وَمُشَدِّدٌ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ، فَلَا تَجِدَنَّ عَلَيَّ فِي نَفْسِكَ، فَقَالَ: «سَلْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ» قَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ: نَشَدْتُكَ بِرَبِّكَ وَرَبِّ مَنْ قَبْلَكَ، آللَّهُ أَرْسَلَكَ إِلَى النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ» قَالَ: فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ» قَالَ: فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَصُومَ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ مِنَ السَّنَةِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ» قَالَ: فَأَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِنَا فَتَقْسِمَهَا عَلَى فُقَرَائِنَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: آمَنْتُ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ، وَأَنَا رَسُولُ مَنْ وَرَائِي مِنْ قَوْمِي، وَأَنَا ضِمَامُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ أَخُو بَنِي سَعْدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ

Commentary

a. The mosque at the time of the Prophet ﷺ was a structure of unbaked earth or clay. Therefore, entry of camels etc., was not barred. It may be that a part of the mosque was set aside for the animals. This example could serve as a precedent for us to provide parking lots for bikes, scooters and cars etc., adjoining the mosques in our times. b. The report of one narrator is acceptable in Islamic law but only if the narrator is dependable and trustworthy. c. It is a commendable act to go and consult a true scholar about the teachings of Islamic law.
