It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and held the reins of his camel while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey, and he said: O Messenger of Allah! Or he said: O Muhammad! Tell me of an action that will bring me near to Paradise and keep me far from the Fire. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Worship Allah, do not associate anything with Him, establish prayer, pay zakat, and maintain ties of kinship.
