) Omar Ibn Al-Khattab narrated the following story: Once, when we were meeting with the Prophet a man with white clothes and dark hair and no trace of any fatigue from journey, who was not known to anyone of us, came near the Prophet and sat beside him, with their knees close to each other and with the strange mans hands put on his own thighs. The man said: Tell me about Islam, Muhammad. Muhammad replied To be a Muslim you should hear witness,, that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allahs Prophet; keep up prayers; pay the poor-rate; keep fasting Ramadan; and perform pilgrimage to the house if you find a way to it. The man said: You have said the truth. Omar addad: we were surprised as to how such a man put such a question and then agreed to what he said. The man asked the Prophet again: Then tell me about the true faith. The Prophet said: To have faith in Allah His Angels, His Books, His Prophets, the Last Day and Predestination, whether good or bad. The man said: You are right. But tell me about goodness and seemliness. The Prophet said: You must serve Allah as if He watches you and believe that if He is not seen by you, He sees you. The man asked: Then tell me about the Hour of Punishment and Reward. To this the Prophet replied: The interviewed knows nothing about it more than the interviewer. The man said: Tell me about its signs. The Prophet said: The Hour will take place when the slave girl gives birth to her patron and benefactor and when the barefooted, the unclothed, the poor and the herder of sheep become superior to the nobility of people. Omar said: Here, the man left and went away and I remained silent for a long time. The Prophet asked me: Do you know, Omar, who was the interviewer? I said: Only Allah and His Prophet Know. The Prophet said: He was Gabriel ! wanted to come to you to instruct you in your religion.
