00:00Narrated Abu Jamra, I used to sit with Ibn Abbas and he made me sit on his sitting place.
00:05He requested me to stay with him in order that he might give me a share from his property.
00:10So I stayed with him for two months.
00:13Once he told me that when the delegation of the tribe of Abdul Qais came to the Prophet,
00:18the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked them,
00:21Who are the people, i.e. you, or who are the delegate?
00:25They replied, We are from the tribe of Rabia.
00:27Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to them,
00:31Welcome, O people, or O delegation of Abdul Qais, neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret.
00:38They said, O Allah's Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
00:42we cannot come to you except in the sacred month and there is the infidel tribe of Mudar intervening between
00:47you and us.
00:47So please order us to do something good, religious deeds,
00:51so that we may inform our people whom we have left behind at home,
00:54and that we may enter paradise by acting on them.
00:57Then they asked about drinks, what is legal and what is illegal.
01:01The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ordered them to do four things and forbade them from four things.
01:06He ordered them to believe in Allah alone and asked them,
01:10Do you know what is meant by believing in Allah alone?
01:13They replied, Allah and his Apostle know better.
01:16Thereupon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
01:19It means, one, to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Messenger,
01:25sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
01:26Two, to offer prayers perfectly.
01:29Three, to pay the zakat, obligatory charity.
01:31Four, to observe fast during the month of Ramadan.
01:34Five, and to pay al-humus, one-fifth of the budi to be given in Allah's cause.
01:40Then he forbade them four things, namely, hantam, dubba, nakir, an-muzafat, or muqayr.
01:46These were the names of pots in which alcoholic drinks were prepared.
01:50The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned the container of wine, and he meant the wine itself.
01:55The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam further said to them,
01:58Memorize them these instructions and convey them to the people whom you have left behind.
