Hadith 2It was narrated that Umar ibn al-Khattab (r.a) said: One day when we were with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) there appeared before us a man whose clothes were exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly black, and there were no signs of travel on him. No one among us recognized him. He came and sat down before the Prophet (s.a.w), rested his knees against his, and placed the palms of his hands on his thighs. He said: "O Muhammad, tell me about Islam." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «Islam is to testify that there is no God worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish regular prayer, to pay zakat, to fast Ramadan and to go on pilgrimage to the House if you are able to.» He said: "You have spoken the truth." And we were amazed at his asking that and saying that he had spoken the truth. Then he said: "Tell me about eeman (faith, belief)," He said: «It means believing in Allah, His angels, His Books, His messengers, and the Last Day, and believing in al-qadar (the divine will and decree), both good and bad.» He said: "You have spoken the truth." He said: "Tell me about ihsan." He said: «It means worshipping Allah as if you can see Him, and although you cannot see Him, He can see you» He said: "Tell me about the Hour." He said: «The one who is being asked does not know more about it than the one who is asking.» He said: "Then tell me about its signs." He said: «The slave woman will give birth to her mistress, and you will see the barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing lofty buildings.» Then he departed and I stayed for a while. Then he said to me: «O Umar, do you know who the questioner was?» I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: «That was Jibreel, who came to teach you your religion.»
