Hadith 2247

ENGLISH

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that

When Dimam bin Tha'labah, a man of Banu Sa’d bin Bakr, became Muslim, he asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about the obligatory duties of Islam, prayer, and so on. He listed for him the five prayers, and did not add anything else; then (he told him about) zakah, then fasting Ramadan, then pilgrimage to the House (Hajj), then he told him what Allah forbade to him. When he had finished he said: I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah. I shall do what you instructed me, no more and no less. Then he turned to leave, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “If the one with the two braids meant what he said, he will enter Paradise.”
