Hadith 12457

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا قَدْ نُهِينَا أَنْ نَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ ، فَكَانَ يُعْجِبُنَا أَنْ يَجِيءَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ الْعَاقِلُ ، فَيَسْأَلُهُ وَنَحْنُ نَسْمَعُ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، أَتَانَا رَسُولُكَ فَزَعَمَ لَنَا أَنَّكَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَرْسَلَكَ ، قَالَ : " صَدَقَ " ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ ؟ ، قَالَ : " اللَّهُ " ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ ؟ ، قَالَ : " اللَّهُ " ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ نَصَبَ هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ ، وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا مَا جَعَلَ ؟ ، قَالَ : " اللَّهُ " ، قَالَ : فَبِالَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ ، وَخَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ ، وَنَصَبَ هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ ، آللَّهُ أَرْسَلَكَ ؟ ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قَالَ : فَزَعَمَ رَسُولُكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي يَوْمِنَا وَلَيْلَتِنَا ، قَالَ : " صَدَقَ " ، قَالَ : فَبِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَكَ ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا ؟ ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قَالَ : وَزَعَمَ رَسُولُكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا زَكَاةً فِي أَمْوَالِنَا ، قَالَ : " صَدَقَ " ، قَالَ : فَبِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَكَ ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا ؟ ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قَالَ : وَزَعَمَ رَسُولُكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا صَوْمَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي سَنَتِنَا ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ صَدَقَ " ، قَالَ : فَبِالَّذِي أَرْسَلَكَ ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا ؟ ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قَالَ : وَزَعَمَ رَسُولُكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا حَجَّ الْبَيْتِ مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا ، قَالَ : " صَدَقَ " ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ وَلَّى ، فَقَالَ : وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيًّا ، لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِنَّ شَيْئًا ، وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَئِنْ صَدَقَ ، لَيَدْخُلَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ " .
Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that (since) we were forbidden in the Qur'an from asking the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) too many questions, we used to wish in our hearts that some intelligent Bedouin would come and ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about some issue and we would listen. So (once) a Bedouin came and (presented himself before the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and) said: "Your messenger came to us and said that you claim Allah has made you a Prophet?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He spoke the truth." The Bedouin said: "Who created the heavens, the earth, and the mountains?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah did." The Bedouin said: "I ask you by the One who created the heavens and the earth and established the mountains (tell me), has Allah really sent you as a Messenger?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes!" The Bedouin said: "Your messenger says that five prayers are obligatory upon us in the day and night." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He spoke the truth." The Bedouin said: "I ask you by Allah, the One who sent you as a Messenger (tell me), did Allah command you this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes!" The Bedouin said: "Your messenger said that zakat is obligatory upon our wealth?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He spoke the truth." He said: "By the One who sent you, did He command you this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes!" He said: "Your messenger also said that fasting for one month in the year is obligatory upon us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He spoke the truth." The Bedouin said: "I ask you by Allah, the One who made you a Prophet (tell me), did Allah command you this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes!" The Bedouin said: "Your messenger also said that Hajj to the Ka'bah is obligatory upon those among us who are able?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He spoke the truth!" Finally, as the Bedouin turned to leave, he said: "By Allah, the One who sent you with the truth, I will not add to this nor subtract from it at all." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If he is truthful, he will enter Paradise."
