The Foundation of Religion is Sincerity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that sincerity is the foundation of religion and should be practiced towards Allah, His Book, His Messenger, the leaders of Muslims and their common folk.

It was narrated that Tamim Ad-Dari said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Religion is sincerity (An-Nasihah)'. They said: 'To whom, O Messenger of Allah?' he said: 'To Allah, to His Book, to His Messenger, to the imams of the Muslims, and to their common folk"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ سُهَيْلَ بْنَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ قُلْتُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِيكَ، قَالَ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ الَّذِي، حَدَّثَ أَبِي، حَدَّثَهُ رَجُلٌ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ
