al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8774

Translation

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Prophet of Allah, I did not come to you until I had left behind more than these—meaning the two hands altogether—and I do not come to your religion nor to you, and I was a man who understood nothing except what Allah and His Messenger taught me. So I ask you by the Face of Allah: with what did our Lord send you? He said: “With Islam.” He said: I said: O Prophet of Allah, and what is the sign of Islam? He said: “That you say, ‘I have submitted my face to Allah,’ and you establish prayer and give zakah. Every Muslim is sacred to another Muslim; they are brothers, becoming so. Allah does not accept from a Muslim who associates others after having submitted any deed until he separates from the polytheists to the Muslims. What is wrong with me, holding you by your waist-wrappers away from the Fire? Verily, my Lord is calling me, and indeed He will ask me: ‘Did you convey to My servants?’ And I will say: ‘My Lord, I have conveyed to them.’ So let those present among you convey to those absent. Then you will be called with the fronts of your mouths muzzled with the fidam. Then the first thing to become clear of one of you will be his thigh and his palm.” He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, this is our religion, and where is what you perfect with your hand?
