Sahih al-Bukhari 523 (Book 9, Hadith 2) #505
The Prophet's Orders & Forbiddance

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) ordering a delegation of 'Abdul Qais to believe in Allah, testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that he is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), establish prayers, pay Zakat, and hand over Khumus if they acquire spoils of war. He also forbids them from using Dubba, Hantam, Muqayyar and Naqir.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: "Once a delegation of 'Abdul Qais came to Allah's Messenger ﷺ and said, "We belong to such and such branch of the tribe of Rabi'ah and we can only come to you in the sacred months. Order us to do something good so that we may take it from you and also invite to it those whom we have left behind (at home)". So he said, "I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things: To believe in Allah" - and then he explained it to them "to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am Allah's Messenger ﷺ, to establish the prayers (at the stated times), to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity), to hand me the Khumus (fifth) if you acquire spoils of war. And I forbid from (using) Dubba, Hantam, Muqayyar, and Naqir (all these were utensils used for the preparation of alcoholic drinks).
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ عَبَّادٍ ـ عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْحَىِّ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ، وَلَسْنَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ، فَمُرْنَا بِشَىْءٍ نَأْخُذْهُ عَنْكَ، وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ الإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ ـ ثُمَّ فَسَّرَهَا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ، وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَأَنْ تُؤَدُّوا إِلَىَّ خُمُسَ مَا غَنِمْتُمْ، وَأَنْهَى عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُقَيَّرِ وَالنَّقِيرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the orders given by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to a delegation from Abdul Qais. He ordered them to believe in Allah and testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Him and that he is His messenger. He also asked them to establish prayers at their stated times, pay Zakat which is an obligatory charity for Muslims, hand him Khumus if they acquire spoils of war in battle. Furthermore he forbade them from using four utensils used for preparing alcoholic drinks; Dubba', Hantam', Muqqayar' and Naqi'. These orders are important for all Muslims as it teaches us how we should live our lives according to Islamic teachings; believing in one God alone without associating any partners with Him or worshipping anyone else besides Him; testifying this belief by saying it out loud; establishing prayer five times a day at its stated times; paying Zakat which helps those who are less fortunate than us; not taking part in activities such as drinking alcohol which are forbidden by Islam.
