The reciter: Ali ibn al-Ja'd narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah informed us from Abu Jamrah, who said: Mishkat al-Masabih 17Muttafaqun 'alayh (Zubair `Aliza'i).
The Shaykh : May Allah send blessings and peace upon him.
I used to sit with Ibn Abbas, and he would seat me on his bed. He said: Stay with me until I make a share of my wealth for you. So I stayed with him for two months. Then he said: When the delegation of Abd al-Qays came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Who are the people? Or who is the delegation? They said: Rabi'ah. He said: Welcome to the people, or the delegation, not disgraced and not regretful. They said: O Messenger of Allah, we are not able to come to you except in the sacred month, and between us and you is this tribe of the disbelievers of Mudar. So command us with a decisive matter that we may inform those behind us of it and enter Paradise through it. And they asked him about drinks, so he commanded them with four things and forbade them from four things. He commanded them: to believe in Allah alone. He said: Do you know what believing in Allah alone is? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: The testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing the prayer, giving zakah, fasting Ramadan, and giving the fifth of the war spoils. And he forbade them from four things: the hanatam, the dubba', the naqir, and the mizafat, and sometimes he said: the muqayyar. And he said: Preserve them and inform those behind you of them.
كنت أقعد مع ابن عباس يجلسني على سريره فقال : أقم عندي حتى أجعل لك سهمًا من مالي ، فأقمت معه شهرين ، ثم قال : إن وفد عبد القيس لما أتوا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : من القوم؟ - أو من الوفد؟ - قالوا : ربيعة . قال : مرحبا بالقوم، أو بالوفد، غير خزايا ولا ندامى، فقالوا : يا رسول الله إنا لا نستطيع أن نأتيك إلا في الشهر الحرام ، وبيننا وبينك هذا الحي من كفار مضر ، فمرنا بأمر فصل ، نخبر به من وراءنا ، وندخل به الجنة ، وسألوه عن الأشربة : فأمرهم بأربع ، ونهاهم عن أربع ، أمرهم : بالإيمان بالله وحده ، قال : أتدرون ما الإيمان بالله وحده ، قالوا : الله ورسوله أعلم ، قال : شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله ، وإقام الصلاة ، وإيتاء الزكاة ، وصيام رمضان ، وأن تعطوا من المغنم الخمس ، ونهاهم عن أربع : عن الحنتم والدباء والنقير والمزفت ، وربما قال : المقير ، وقال : احفظوهن وأخبروا بهن من وراءكمThe Shaykh : May Allah send blessings and peace upon him.
