Sahih al-Bukhari 3510 (Book 61, Hadith 20) #3352
Practicing Faith and Avoiding Temptations

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) gave instructions to the delegates of 'Abd-ul-Qais on how to practice their faith and what to avoid.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The delegates of 'Abd-ul-Qais came to Allah's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! We are from the tribe of Rabi'a and the infidels of Mudar tribe stand between us and you, so that we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months. Therefore we would like you to give us some instructions which we may follow and convey to our people staying behind us". The Prophet ﷺ said, "I order you to observe four things and forbid you (to do) four things: (I order you) to believe in Allah testifying that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah; to offer the prayer perfectly; to pay the Zakat; and to give one-fifth of the war booty to Allah. And I forbid you to use Ad-Dubba, Al-Hantam, An-Naqir and Al- Muzaffat". (These are names of utensils in which alcoholic drinks were served)
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْحَىِّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ قَدْ حَالَتْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ كُفَّارُ مُضَرَ، فَلَسْنَا نَخْلُصُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ، فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَنَا بِأَمْرٍ، نَأْخُذُهُ عَنْكَ، وَنُبَلِّغُهُ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ، الإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَإِقَامِ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ، وَأَنْ تُؤَدُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ خُمْسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ، وَالْحَنْتَمِ، وَالنَّقِيرِ، وَالْمُزَفَّتِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of practicing one's faith and avoiding temptations. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ instructed the delegates of 'Abdul Qais on four things they should do - believe in Allah, offer prayer perfectly, pay zakat and give one fifth of war booty to Allah. He also forbade them from using four utensils - Ad Dubba, Al Hantam, An Naqir and Al Muzaffat which were used for serving alcoholic drinks. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to practice our faith by following its teachings while avoiding any kind of temptation that can lead us astray from it. We must remember that our actions have consequences in this life as well as in the hereafter so we must be mindful when making decisions or indulging in activities that are not permissible according to Islam.
