SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 56: VIRTUES AND MERITS OF THE PROPHET (PBUH) AND HIS COMPANIONS
The delegates of 'Abd-ul-Qais came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are from
the tribe of Rabi'a and the infidels of Mudar tribe stand between us and you, so that we cannot come
to you except in the Sacred Months. Therefore we would like you to give us some instructions which
we may follow and convey to our people staying behind us." The Prophet said, "I order you to observe
four things and forbid you (to do) four things: (I order you) to believe in Allah testifying that None
has the right to be worshipped except Allah; to offer the prayer perfectly; to pay the Zakat; and to
give one-fifth of the war booty to Allah. And I forbid you to use Ad-Dubba, Al-Hantam, An-Naqir
and Al-Muzaffat." (These are names of utensils in which alcoholic drinks were served.)
