2094. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "While we were sitting in the Masjid, a man came on a camel and made it kneel in the Masjid, then he hobbled it and said to them: 'Which of you is Muḥammad?' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was reclining amid his Companions, and we said to him: 'This white man who is reclining.' The man said to him: 'O son of 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I have answered you.' The man said: 'O Muḥammad, I am going to ask you questions, and I will be harsh in asking; do not get upset.' He said: 'Ask whatever you like.' The man said: 'I adjure you by your Lord and the Lord of those who came before you, has Allâh sent you to all the people?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by Allāh, has Allāh commanded you to offer five prayers each day and night?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By Allāh, yes.' He said: 'I adjure 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 adjure 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 that which you have brought, and I am the envoy of my people who are coming after me. I am Ḍimām bin Tha'labah, the brother of Banu Sa'd bin Bakr.'" Ya'qūb bin Ibrāhīm contradicted him. (Ṣaḥīḥ)
