English translation

5034. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "The delegation of 'Abdul-Qais came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'We are a group of people from (the tribe of) Rabî'ah, and we can only reach you during the sacred month. Tell us something that we can take from you and to which we may call those who are behind us.' He said: 'I command you to do four things and I forbid you from four: Faith in Allâh' - and he explained that to them - 'bearing witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allâh, establishing Salâh, paying Zakâh and giving to me one-fifth (the Khumus) of the spoils of war you acquire. And I forbid you from Ad-Dubbâh, Al- Hantam, Al-Muqayyir, and Al-Muzaffat."[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

5031 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا هَذَا الْحَيَّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ، وَلَسْنَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ، فَمُرْنَا بِشَيْءٍ نَأْخُذُهُ عَنْكَ، وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا، فَقَالَ: " آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ: الْإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ - ثُمَّ فَسَّرَهَا لَهُمْ - شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ، وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَأَنْ تُؤَدُّوا إِلَيَّ خُمُسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ، وَالْحَنْتَمِ، وَالْمُقَيَّرِ، وَالْمُزَفَّتِ "

Commentary

'We are the descendants of Rabī'ah': Mudār and Rabī'ah were brothers. The Quraysh of Makkah were of the offspring of Mudār and the people of Yemen of Rabī'ah. Banu Abdul Qais were also the Yemenites. In order for them to arrive at Al-Madinah from Yemen, they had to pass through the vicinity of Makkah, and the pagan Quraish intercepted every caravan and convoy if they suspected that they were proceeding to meet the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
