3. It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said:
Ask me (about religious matters), but they (the Companions) were in awe of asking him. Then
came a man, and sat near his knees and said: O Messenger of Allah, what is al-Islam? So he
(the Holy Prophet) replied: [That] you do not associate anything with Allah, and establish the
prayer, pay the alms (Zakat) and fast Ramadan. He said: You (have) told the truth. He said:
Messenger of Allah, what is al-Iman (Faith)? He said: That you affirm your faith in Allah, His
angels, His Books, His meeting, His Apostles, and that you believe in Resurrection and that
you believe in Qadr (Divine Decree) in all its entirety. He (the inquirer) said: You have told
the truth. He said: Messenger of Allah, what is al-Ihsan? Upon this he said: that you fear Allah
as if you are seeing Him, and though you see Him not, verily He is seeing you. He (the inquirer)
said: You (have) told the truth. He (the inquirer) said: When will the Hour (of Doom) occur?
He said: The one who is being asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer and I will
narrate some of its signs to you. When you see a [slave] woman giving birth to her master -
then that is [one] of its signs. And when you see barefooted, naked, deaf and dumb (ignorant
and foolish persons) as the rulers of the earth - then that is [one] of its signs. And when you see
the shepherds of black (camels) exult in buildings - then that is [one] of its signs. The (Hour)
is one of the five things of the unseen. No one knows them except Allah. Then (the Holy
Prophet) recited (the folowing verse):" Verily Allah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the
Hour and He it is Who sends down the rain and knows that which is in the wombs. And no
soul knows what it shall earn on the morrow and a soul knows not in what land it shall die.
Verily Allah is Knowing, Aware."
He (Abu Huraira) said: Then the person stood up (and made his way). Then the Messenger of
Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said: Bring him back to me. He was searched for, but they could not find him. The
Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬thereupon said: He was Gabriel and he wanted to teach you when you
did not ask.

would catch up with those who have surpassed you? Nobody would overtake you and you
would be better than the people amongst whom you live except those who would do the same.
Say "Subhana l-lah", "Al hamdu li l-lah" and "Allahu Akbar" thirty three times each after every
