between you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the sacred Months. So please teach us some
orders on acting upon which we will enter Paradise. Besides, we will preach that to our people who
are behind us.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things (I
order you): To believe in Allah…Do you know what is to believe in Allah? That is to testify that None
has the right to be worshipped except Allah: (I order you also to offer prayers perfectly to pay Zakat;
and to fast the month of Ramadan and to give the Khumus (i.e. one-fifth of the booty) (for Allah’s
Sake). I forbid you from four other things (i.e. the wine that is prepared in) Ad-Dubba, An-Naquir,
Az-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat. (See Hadith No. 50 Vol. 1)
