Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32323 — Reports on faith and Islam

Yazid bin Bishr al-Saksaki (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When I came to Madinah, I went to see Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). A man from the people of Iraq came to him and said: "O Abdullah! What is the matter with you, that you only perform Hajj and Umrah and have abandoned fighting in the path of Allah?" He said: "Woe to you! Faith is built upon five things: that you worship Allah, keep up the prayer, pay zakah, perform Hajj to the House of Allah, and fast Ramadan." The narrator said: He asked the same question again, and he said: "O servant of Allah! Faith is that you worship Allah, keep up the prayer, pay zakah, perform Hajj to the House of Allah, and fast Ramadan." The narrator said: He repeated that question again, and he said: "O servant of Allah, faith is that you worship Allah, keep up the prayer, pay zakah, perform Hajj to the House of Allah, and fast Ramadan. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said it to us in just this way."
