[Surah Al-Mā'idah: 3]

﴿أَفَغَيْرَ دِينِ اللَّهِ يَبْغُونَ وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ﴾

[Surah Āl-ʿImrān: 83]
Narrated by Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Ask me anything.”
But due to awe, the companions hesitated. Then a man came and sat near his knees and said:
“O Messenger of Allah! What is Islam?”
He ﷺ replied:
“That you associate none with Allah, establish prayer, pay zakat, and fast in Ramadan.”
He said: “You spoke the truth.”
Then he asked: “What is Iman (faith)?”
He ﷺ replied:
“That you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His meeting, His messengers, the Resurrection, and the divine decree – all of it.”
He said: “You spoke the truth.”
Then he asked: “What is Ihsan (excellence)?”
He ﷺ replied:
“That you worship Allah as if you see Him; for if you do not see Him, He surely sees you.”
He said: “You spoke the truth.”
He then asked: “When will the Hour be established?”
The Prophet ﷺ replied:
“The one questioned knows no more than the questioner. But I will tell you its signs:
– When a slave-girl gives birth to her master,
– When you see the barefooted, naked, deaf, and dumb becoming the kings of the earth,
– When you see the shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.
The Hour is among five things known only to Allah.”
Then he recited:
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ...﴾
“Verily, with Allah alone is the knowledge of the Hour…”
[Surah Luqmān: 34]

Narrated by Saʿīd bin al-Musayyib from his father:
When Abu Talib was dying, the Prophet ﷺ came to him, and Abu Jahl and ʿAbdullah bin Abī Umayyah were present.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“O uncle! Say La ilaha illallah, a word by which I will plead for you with Allah.”
They said:
“Will you abandon the religion of ʿAbdul-Muṭṭalib?”
The Prophet ﷺ kept repeating it to him until Abu Talib said his final words:
“I remain upon the religion of ʿAbdul-Muṭṭalib.”
He refused to say La ilaha illallah.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“By Allah! I will seek forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden.”
Then Allah revealed:
﴿مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ...﴾
And:
﴿إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي...﴾

“O Muʿādh!”
He replied: “At your service, O Messenger of Allah!”
The Prophet ﷺ repeated this three times and then said:
“There is no servant who sincerely testifies La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah except that Allah makes the Fire forbidden for him.”
Muʿādh asked:
“Shall I not inform the people?”
The Prophet ﷺ replied:
“Then they would rely upon it.”
So Muʿādh only narrated this near his death, fearing sin for hiding knowledge.
