(م) عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ، شَدِيدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعْرِ، لاَ يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ، وَلاَ يَعْرِفُهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ، حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ
[1]
، وَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: (الإِسْلامُ: أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لاَ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةَ، وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ، وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ، وَتَحُجَّ البَيْتَ، إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً) ، قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ.قَالَ: فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ، يَسْأَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ
[2]
. قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِيمَانِ؟ قَالَ: (أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللهِ، وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ، وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ، وَاليَوْمِ الآخِرِ، وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ) ، قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ.
قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِحْسَانِ؟ قَالَ: (أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ) .
قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ؟ قَالَ: (مَا المَسْؤُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ) . قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَمَارَتِهَا
[3]
؟ قَالَ: (أَنْ تَلِدَ الأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا، وَأَنْ تَرَى الحُفَاةَ العُرَاةَ، العَالَةَ
[4]
، رِعَاءَ الشَّاءِ، يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي البُنْيَانِ) .
قَالَ: ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ، فَلَبِثْتُ مَلِيّاً
[5]
، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: (يَا عُمَرُ! أَتَدْرِي مَنِ السَّائِلُ) ؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ ورَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: (فَإِنَّهُ جِبْرِيلُ، أَتَاكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ دِينَكُمْ) .
‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: One day, we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) when there appeared before us a man dressed in extremely white clothes, and had very black hair. No traces of travel were visible on him, and none of us knew him. He came in and sat down opposite to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and rested his knees against his and placed the palms of his hands on the thighs of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "O Muhammad, tell me about Islam." The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to pay Zakah, to fast Ramadan, and to perform pilgrimage to the House if you are able to find a way thereto." He said: "You have spoken the truth." It surprised us that he asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and at the same time he affirmed that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told the truth. Then he said: "Tell me about belief)." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, and believe in the divine decree, both good and bad." Then, the man said: "You have spoken the truth." He then said: "Tell me about Ihsān." He said: "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for, although you do not see Him, He sees you." He said: "Tell me about the Hour." He said: "About that, the one questioned knows no more than the questioner." The man said: "Then tell me about its signs." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The slave girl will give birth to her mistress, and you will see the barefoot, naked, destitute herdsmen competing in constructing lofty buildings." Then the man departed. I stayed for a while, and then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O ‘Umar, do you know who the questioner was?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "That was Jibrīl, who came to teach you your religion."
قال تعالى: {إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلاَمُ}. [آل عمران:19] وقال تعالى: {وَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلاَلاً بَعِيدًا}. [النساء:136] وقال تعالى: {وَأَحْسِنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ}. [البقرة:195]
