حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ بُنِيَ الإِسْلاَمُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَإِقَامِ الصَّلاَةِ، وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ، وَالْحَجِّ، وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Ubaydullah ibn Musa narrated to us. He said: Hanzala ibn Abi Sufyan informed us, from Ikrima ibn Khalid, from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Islam is built upon five: bearing witness that there is no deity but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; establishing the prayer; giving zakat; making the pilgrimage; and fasting in Ramadan.’
