Acceptance of Islam by Dimam bin Thalabah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man named Dimam bin Thalabah who asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) questions about Allah's commands and upon hearing the answers, he accepted Islam.

It was narrated from Sharik bin 'Abdullah bin Abu Namir that he heard Anas bin Malik say: "While we were sitting in the mosque, a man entered riding a camel; he made it kneel in the mosque, then he hobbled it and said to them: 'Which of you is Muhammad?’ The Messenger of Allah was reclining among them, so they said: 'This fair- skinned man who is reclining.’ The man said to him: 'O son of 'Abdul- Muttalib!’ The Prophet said: 'I am listening to you.’ The man said: O Muhammad! I am asking you and will be stern in asking, so do not bear any ill-feelings towards me.’ He said: 'Ask whatever you think.’ The man said: 'I adjure you by your Lord and the Lord of those who came before you, has Allah sent you to all of mankind?’ The Messenger of Allah said: 'By Allah, yes.; He said: 'I adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to pray the five prayers each day and night?’ The Messenger of Allah said: 'By Allah, yes.’ He said: 'I adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to fast this month of each year?’ The Messenger of Allah said: 'By Allah, yes.’ He said: 'I adjure you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to take this charity from our rich and distribute it among our poor?’ The Messenger of Allah said: 'By Allah, yes.’ The man said: 'I believe in what you have brought, and I am the envoy of my people who are behind me. I am Dimam bin Tha’labah, the brother of Banu Sa’d bin Bakr.’"
