I was an interpreter between the people and Ibn `Abbas. Once Ibn `Abbas said that a delegation of thetribe of `Abdul Qais came to the Prophet (ﷺ) who asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (Or) whoare the delegates?" They replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabi`a." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to them,"Welcome, O people (or said, "O delegation (of `Abdul Qais).") Neither will you have disgrace norwill you regret." They said, "We have come to you from a distant place and there is the tribe of theinfidels of Mudar intervening between you and us and we cannot come to you except in the sacredmonth. So please order us to do something good (religious deeds) and that we may also inform ourpeople whom we have left behind (at home) and that we may enter Paradise (by acting on them.)" TheProphet ordered them to do four things, and forbade them from four things. He ordered them tobelieve in Allah Alone, the Honorable the Majestic and said to them, "Do you know what is meant bybelieving in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ)said, "(That means to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad isHis Apostle, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay Zakat, to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan,(and) to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah's cause)." Then he forbade themfour things, namely Ad-Dubba.' Hantam, Muzaffat (and) An-Naqir or Muqaiyar (These were thenames of pots in which alcoholic drinks used to be prepared). The Prophet (ﷺ) further said, "Memorizethem (these instructions) and tell them to the people whom you have left behind."
