Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1084
قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: أَأَلِجُ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِلْجَارِيَةِ: اخْرُجِي فَقُولِي لَهُ: قُلِ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، أَأَدْخُلُ؟ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُحْسِنِ الِاسْتِئْذَانَ، قَالَ: فَسَمِعْتُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَيَّ الْجَارِيَةُ فَقُلْتُ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، أَأَدْخُلُ؟ فَقَالَ: وَعَلَيْكَ، ادْخُلْ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ: بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ جِئْتَ؟ فَقَالَ: لَمْ آتِكُمْ إِلاَّ بِخَيْرٍ، أَتَيْتُكُمْ لِتَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَتَدَعُوا عِبَادَةَ اللاَّتِ وَالْعُزَّى، وَتُصَلُّوا فِي اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ، وَتَصُومُوا فِي السَّنَةِ شَهْرًا، وَتَحُجُّوا هَذَا الْبَيْتَ، وَتَأْخُذُوا مِنْ مَالِ أَغْنِيَائِكُمْ فَتَرُدُّوهَا عَلَى فُقَرَائِكُمْ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: هَلْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ شَيْءٌ لاَ تَعْلَمُهُ؟ قَالَ: لَقَدْ عَلَّمَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لاَ يَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، الْخَمْسُ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ: {إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ، وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ، وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ، وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا، وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ}.

Rib‘i ibn Hirash reported from a man of Banu Amir: He came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked, “May I enter?” The Prophet said to a servant girl, “Go out and tell him, ‘Say: Peace be upon you. May I enter?’ He does not know how to seek permission properly.” The man said: I heard this before the servant girl came out to me, so I said, “Peace be upon you. May I enter?” The Prophet replied, “And upon you. Enter.” I entered and he asked, “What have you come with?” I said, “I have come with nothing but good. I have come so that you worship Allah alone, without partner; abandon the worship of al-Lat and al-Uzza; pray five times during the day and night; fast one month each year; make pilgrimage to this House; and take from the wealth of your rich and return it to your poor.” I asked him, “Is there any knowledge that you do not know?” He replied, “Allah has taught what is good. There is knowledge that none knows but Allah: the five things known only to Allah—‘Truly, Allah has knowledge of the Hour; He sends down rain; He knows what is in the wombs; no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow; and no soul knows in what land it will die.’”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The five matters at the end quote Qur’an 31:34. The man’s question “What have you come with?” is addressed to the visitor, as reflected in the reply.
فَدَخَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ: بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ جِئْتَ
The English witness stops after the greeting exchange and omits the remainder of the report, including the visitor’s message and the five matters of the unseen.
