Sahih al-Bukhari 1398 (Book 24, Hadith 4) #1344
Duties and Prohibitions for the Tribe of 'Abdul Qais

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) gave a delegation of the tribe of 'Abdul Qais four religious duties to perform and four things to avoid.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: A delegation of the tribe of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! We are from the tribe of Rabi'a, and the infidels of the tribe of Mudar stands between us and you; so we cannot come to you except during the Sacred Months. Please order us to do something (religious deeds) which we may carry out and also invite to it our people whom we have left behind". The Prophet said, "I order you to do four things and forbid you four others: (I order you) to have faith in Allah, and confess that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, (and the Prophet gestured with his hand like this (ie one knot) and to offer prayers perfectly and to pay the Zakat, and to pay one-fifth of the booty in Allah's Cause. And I forbid you to use Dubba', Hantam, Naqir and Muzaffat (all these are the names of utensils used for preparing alcoholic drinks)".

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was approached by a delegation from the tribe of Abdul Qais who were unable to come to him except during the Sacred Months. In response, he ordered them to have faith in Allah and confess that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah. He also asked them to offer prayers perfectly and pay their Zakat as well as one-fifth of any booty they acquired in Allah's Cause. Additionally, he forbade them from using certain utensils used for preparing alcoholic drinks such as Dubba', Hantam, Naqir and Muzaffat. This hadith teaches us that it is important for Muslims to have faith in Allah and practice their religion properly by offering prayers regularly and paying their zakats on time. It also reminds us that we should stay away from activities which are forbidden by Islam such as drinking alcohol or using utensils related with it.
