Sunan an-Nasa'i 2568

Muhammad ibn Abd al-Ala reported: al-Mutamir narrated to us: I heard Bahz ibn Hakim relate from his father, from his grandfather, who said: I said: O Prophet of Allah, I did not come to you until I had sworn more times than the number of these—indicating the fingers of both his hands—that I would not come to you or to your religion. I was a man who understood nothing except what Allah and His Messenger taught me. I ask you by the Face of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, about what your Lord sent you to us with. He said: Islam. I said: What are the signs of Islam? He said: That you say: I have submitted myself to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and wa takhallaytu; that you establish prayer and give zakah. Every Muslim is inviolable to another Muslim; they are brothers and supporters of one another. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, does not accept any deed from a polytheist after he has accepted Islam—or until he separates from the polytheists and joins the Muslims.
