may Allah be pleased with him, relates: |
| We were sitting
in the company of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him, when suddenly a man arrived. He was wearing
clean, white clothes and his hair was jet black. He did not
look as though he were a traveler and he was not known to any
of us. He sat down close to the Holy Prophet, peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him, his knees touching the knees
of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
He said: O Muhammad, tell me something about faith. The Holy
Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, replied:
|
| "Faith is that
you should believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books and His
Prophets; that you should believe in the Day of Judgment and
that you should believe in the Divine Laws relating to good
and evil." (Tirmidhi) |

peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: |
