| Umar ibn Khattab, may Allah
be pleased with him, relates: |
| We were sitting in the company
of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him, when suddenly a man arrived. He was wearing clean, white
clothes and his hair was jet black. He did not look as though
he were a traveler and he was not known to any of us. He sat
down close to the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him, his knees touching the knees of the Holy Prophet,
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. He said: O Muhammad,
tell me something about faith. The Holy Prophet, peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him, replied: |
| "Faith is that you should believe
in Allah, His Angels, His Books and His Prophets; that you
should believe in the Day of Judgment and that you should
believe in the Divine Laws relating to good and evil." (Tirmidhi)
