English Translation
'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: 'While we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) one day, a man appeared with intensely white clothing and intensely black hair. No signs of travel could be seen on him, and none of us recognized him. He sat down before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), resting his knees against his knees and placing his palms on his thighs. Then he said: O Muhammad, tell me about Islam — what is Islam? The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, to establish the prayer, to give the zakah, to fast Ramadan, and to perform Hajj to the House if you are able to find a way. The man said: You have spoken the truth.' He mentioned the hadith in full, then said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: O 'Umar, do you know who the questioner was? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: That was Jibril who came to teach you your religion.'
