2611. Ibn 'Abbās said: "A delegation of 'Abdul-Qais came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'We are a tribe from Rabī'ah, and we cannot come to you except during the sacred months. So order us with something that we can take from you, and then we call those who are behind us to it.' So he ﷺ said: 'I order you with four things: To believe in Allāh,' then he explained it to them: 'To testify to Lā Ilāha Illallāh, and that I am the Messenger of Allāh; to establish the Ṣalāt, to give the Zakāt, and to give the Khumus from the spoils of war that you gain.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
(Another chain) with similar narration from the Prophet ﷺ.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
Abū Jamrah Aḍ-Ḍuba'i's (a narrator in the chain) name is Naṣr bin 'Imrān. Shu'bah also reported it from Abū Jamrah but he added: "Do you know what Īmān is? To testify to Lā Ilāha Illallāh, and that I am the Messenger of Allāh," and
then he mentioned the Ḥadīth.
I heard Qutaibah bin Sa'eed say: "I have not seen the likes of these four great Fuqahā": Mālik bin Anas, Laith bin Sa'd, Abbād bin 'Abbād Al-Muhallabī and 'Abdul-Wahhāb Ath-Thaqafī." Qutaibah said: "We used to be happy to return every day from 'Abbād bin 'Abbād with two Ḥadīth." 'Abbād bin 'Abbād is among the sons of Al-Muhallab bin Abī Ṣufrah.

Commentary
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, while explaining the reality of Īmān, also mentioned the practical deeds along with the declaration of Īmān and Messenger-hood, which is a proof that the compulsory duties are also the part of Īmān and they are included in it. No one can have perfect Īmān without practical deeds. Imām At-Tirmidhī reported this Ḥadīth briefly and its full version is in Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī.
