حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نَهَابُ أَنْ نَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ ، وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُنَا أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ فَيَسْأَلَهُ وَنَحْنُ نَسْتَمِعُ ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، أَتَانَا رَسُولُكَ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّكَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ اللهَ أَرْسَلَكَ ، قَالَ : صَدَقَ ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ ؟ قَالَ : اللهُ ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ ؟ قَالَ : اللهُ ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ نَصَبَ هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ ؟ قَالَ : اللهُ ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ جَعَلَ فِيهَا هَذِهِ الْمَنَابِعَ ؟ قَالَ : اللهُ ، قَالَ : فَبِالَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ وَالْأَرْضَ ، وَنَصَبَ الْجِبَالَ ، وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا هَذِهِ الْمَنَابِعَ ، آللهُ أَرْسَلَكَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
قَالَ : زَعَمَ رَسُولُكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي يَوْمِنَا وَلَيْلَتِنَا ، قَالَ : صَدَقَ ، قَالَ : فَبِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَكَ ، آللهُ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
قَالَ : زَعَمَ رَسُولُكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا صَدَقَةً فِي أَمْوَالِنَا ؟ قَالَ : صَدَقَ ، قَالَ : فَبِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَكَ ، آللهُ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
قَالَ : زَعَمَ رَسُولُكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا صَوْمَ شَهْرٍ فِي سَنَتِنَا ؟ قَالَ : صَدَقَ ، قَالَ : فَبِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَكَ ، آللهُ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
قَالَ : زَعَمَ رَسُولُكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا حَجَّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا ؟ قَالَ : صَدَقَ ، قَالَ : فَبِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَكَ ، آللهُ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
قَالَ : وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا قَفَّى ، قَالَ : لَئِنْ صَدَقَ لَيَدْخُلَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We felt hesitant to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about things ourselves (because of his awe and majesty), so we were very pleased when some sensible man from the desert would come and ask him (peace and blessings be upon him) while we listened. Then a Bedouin came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), your messenger came to us and told us that you claim that Allah Almighty has sent you as a Messenger.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'He spoke the truth.' He asked: 'Then who created the heaven?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Allah.' He asked: 'Who created the earth?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Allah.' He asked: 'Who set up these mountains?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Allah.' He asked: 'Who made these springs in them?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Allah.' He said: 'Then by the One who created the heaven and the earth, set up the mountains and made these springs flow in them, is it really Allah who has sent you as a Messenger?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Your messenger also claims that five prayers are obligatory upon us in our day and night?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'He spoke the truth.' He asked: 'By the One who sent you, is it Allah who has commanded you with this?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Your messenger also claims that zakah is obligatory upon us in our wealth?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'He spoke the truth.' He asked: 'By the One who sent you, is it Allah who has commanded you with this?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Your messenger claims that fasting for one month in the year is obligatory upon us?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'He spoke the truth.' He asked: 'By the One who sent you, is it Allah who has commanded you with this?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Your messenger also claims that Hajj to the House (of Allah) is obligatory upon whoever among us is able?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'He spoke the truth.' He asked: 'By the One who sent you, is it Allah who has commanded you with this?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes.' Then the man said: 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I will neither add anything to these (obligations) nor reduce anything from them.' When the man turned to leave, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'If he has spoken the truth, he will surely enter Paradise.'"
