"عَنْ محاربِ بن دِثَار عن عمرَ قالَ: بينما نحنُ عند رسول الله ﷺ إذا أتاه رجلٌ أبيضُ الثيابِ، طيبُ الريحِ فوضعَ يده على ركبةِ رسول الله ﷺ فقال: يا رسول الله ما الإيمانُ؟ قال: أن تؤمن بالله واليومِ الآخر والملائكةِ والكتابِ والنبيينَ والجنةِ والنارِ، وبالقدر خيرهِ وشرَّه، قال: فإذا فعلت ذلك فأنا مؤمنٌ؟ قال: نعم، قال: صدقت، فعجبنا من قوله لرسول الله ﷺ: صدقت، قال: فما الإسلام؟ قال: تقيمُ الصلاة، وتؤتى الزكاةَ وتحجُّ البيتَ، وتصومُ رمضان، وتغتسل من الجنَابَةِ، قال: فإذا أنا فعلتُ ذلك فأنا مسلمٌ؟ قال: نعم، قال: صدقت: فتعجبنا من قوله لرسول الله ﷺ صدقت، قال: فما الإحسانُ؟ قال: أن تعبد الله كأنك تراه فإن لم تره فإنه يراك، قال: صدقت، قال: فمتى الساعة؟ قال: ما المسئول عنها بأعلم من السائل، قال: صدقت، ثم أدبر، قال رسول الله ﷺ: علىَّ بالرجل، فالتمسوه فلم يقدروا عليه، فقال: هذا جبريل جاءكم ليريَكم دينكم، وما أتانى في صورة قط إلا عرفته قبل مدَّتى هذه".

“On the authority of Muharib ibn Dithar, from 'Umar, who said: While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man with white clothing and pleasant fragrance came to him, placed his hand on the knee of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is faith?’ He said: ‘That you believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, the prophets, Paradise and Hellfire, and in divine decree, its good and its evil.’ He said: ‘When you have done that, am I a believer?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘You have spoken truly.’ So we were amazed at his saying to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, ‘You have spoken truly.’ He said: ‘What is Islam?’ He said: ‘That you establish the prayer, give the zakah, perform Hajj to the House, fast Ramadan, and perform ghusl from janabah.’ He said: ‘When I have done that, am I a Muslim?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘You have spoken truly.’ So we were amazed at his saying to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, ‘You have spoken truly.’ He said: ‘What is ihsan?’ He said: ‘That you worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then He sees you.’ He said: ‘You have spoken truly.’ He said: ‘When is the Hour?’ He said: ‘The one asked about it is no more knowledgeable than the one asking.’ He said: ‘You have spoken truly.’ Then he turned away. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Bring the man back to me.’ They searched for him but could not find him. Then he said: ‘This was Jibril; he came to you to teach you your religion. He never came to me in a form except that I recognized him, apart from this time.’”
