Sahih Ibn Hibban 155

Translation

✧ We were forbidden to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about anything. It pleased us when a man from the desert came and asked him while we listened. A man from them came to him and said, “O Muhammad, your messenger came to us and claimed that you claim that Allah has sent you.” He said, “He spoke the truth.” He said, “Who created the sky?” He said, “Allah.” He said, “Who created the earth?” He said, “Allah.” He said, “Who erected these mountains?” He said, “Allah.” He said, “Who placed these benefits in them?” He said, “Allah.” He said, “Then by the One who created the sky and the earth, erected the mountains, and placed these benefits in them, did Allah send you?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Your messenger claimed that we owe five prayers in our day and night.” He said, “He spoke the truth.” He said, “By the One who sent you, did Allah command you with this?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Your messenger claimed that we owe charity from our wealth.” He said, “He spoke the truth.” He said, “By the One who sent you, did Allah command you with this?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Your messenger claimed that we owe fasting a month in our year.” He said, “He spoke the truth.” He said, “By the One who sent you, did Allah command you with this?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “Your messenger claimed that we owe pilgrimage to the House for whoever is able to find a way.” He said, “He spoke the truth.” He said, “By the One who sent you, did Allah command you with this?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “By the One who sent you with the truth, I will not add to them nor subtract from them anything.” When he turned away, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “If he is truthful, he will surely enter Paradise.”
