Sahih al-Bukhari 1352 (Book 24, Hadith 4)
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 (ﷺ) gestured with
his hand like this (i.e. one knot) and to offer prayers perfectly and to pay the Zakat, and to pay onefifth
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).”
