Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
appeared before the public one day when a man came to him and said, “O
Messenger of Allah, what is faith?” He said, “
Faith is to
believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His meeting (on the Day of
Judgment), His messengers, and to believe in the resurrection in the
Hereafter.” He said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?” He said, “
Islam
is to worship Allah alone without associating anything with Him, to
establish the prescribed prayer, to give obligatory charity, and to fast
the month of Ramadan.” He said, “What is excellence?” He said, “
Excellence is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for verily, He sees you.” He said, “When is the Hour?” He said, “
The
one who is asked does not know more than the one asking. Rather, I will
relate to you some of its signs; when the slave-girl gives birth to her
master is among its signs; when the naked and barefooted will become
chiefs of the people is among its signs; when the shepherds of black
camels will exult themselves in constructing building is among its
signs; concerning the fifth sign, none knows it but Allah.” Then he recited, “
Indeed,
Allah alone has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows
what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow,
and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allah is
Knowing and Acquainted (31:34).” Then the turned away and left. The Messenger of Allah said, “
Bring him back to me,” but they went to bring him back and saw nothing there. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “
He was Gabriel, who came to teach the people their religion.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا بَارِزًا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَتَاهُ
رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِيمَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكِتَابِهِ وَلِقَائِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ الْآخِرِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِسْلَامُ قَالَ الْإِسْلَامُ
أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ
الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِحْسَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَا تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ قَالَ مَا
الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنْ السَّائِلِ وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ
عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا إِذَا وَلَدَتْ الْأَمَةُ رَبَّهَا فَذَاكَ مِنْ
أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا كَانَتْ الْعُرَاةُ الْحُفَاةُ رُءُوسَ النَّاسِ
فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا تَطَاوَلَ رِعَاءُ الْبَهْمِ فِي
الْبُنْيَانِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا فِي خَمْسٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ
إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَلَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ
وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ
غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ
خَبِيرٌ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ الرَّجُلَ فَأَخَذُوا لِيَرُدُّوهُ فَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ جَاءَ لِيُعَلِّمَ النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ
