"Once a delegation of `Abdul Qais came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "We belong to such and such
branch of the tribe of Rabi'ah and we can only come to you in the sacred months. Order us to do
something good so that we may take it from you and also invite to it those whom we have left behind (at home)." So he said, "I order you to do four things and forbid you from four
things: To believe in Allah" - and then he explained it to them "to testify that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), to establish the prayers (at the stated times), to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity), to hand me the Khumus (fifth) if you acquire spoils of war. And I forbid from (using) Dubba, Hantam, Muqaiyyar, and Naqir (all these were utensils used for the preparation of alcoholic drinks).

that he had heard Hudhaifa saying, "Once I was sitting with `Umar and he said, 'Who amongst you
remembers the statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the afflictions?' I said, 'I know it as the Prophet (ﷺ) had
said it.' `Umar said, 'No doubt you are bold.' I said, 'The afflictions caused for a man by his wife,
money, children and neighbor are expiated by his prayers, fasting, charity and by enjoining (what is
good) and forbidding (what is evil).' `Umar said, 'I did not mean that but I asked about that affliction
which will spread like the waves of the sea.' I (Hudhaifa) said, 'O leader of the faithful believers! You
need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between you and it.' `Umar asked, Will the door be
broken or opened?' I replied, 'It will be broken.' `Umar said, 'Then it will never be closed again.' I was
asked whether `Umar knew that door. I replied that he knew it as one knows that there will be night
before the tomorrow morning. I narrated a Hadith that was free from any misstatement" The subnarrator
added that they deputized Masruq to ask Hudhaifa (about the door). Hudhaifa said, "The door
was `Umar himself."
