عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَيْضاً قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ، شَدِيدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعْرِ، لاَ يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ، وَلاَ يَعْرِفُهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ، حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «الإِسْلاَمُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةَ، وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ، وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ، وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً» قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ. فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ! قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِيمَانِ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ، وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ، وَكُتُبِهِ، وَرُسُلِهِ، وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ، وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ» قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ. قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِحْسَانِ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ»... ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ فَلَبِثْتُ مَلِيّاً، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا عُمَرُ أَتَدْرِي مَنِ السَّائِلُ؟» قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «فَإِنَّهُ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَاكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ دِينَكُمْ».
Kutoka kwa Umar (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) amesema: Tulipokuwa tumekaa na Mjumbe wa Allah siku moja, alitutokea mtu mwenye nguo nyeupe sana na nywele nyeusi mno, hakuonekana kuwa na alama za msafiri wala hakuna aliyemjua miongoni mwetu. Akaketi mbele ya Mtume akiegemeza magoti yake kwenye magoti yake, na akaweka viganja vyake juu ya mapaja yake, kisha akasema: Ewe Muhammad, nijulishe kuhusu Uislamu? Mtume akasema: 'Uislamu ni kushuhudia kuwa hakuna mungu anayepasa kuabudiwa kwa haki ila Allah na Muhammad ni Mjumbe Wake, kusimamisha Swala, kutoa Zaka, kufunga Ramadhani, na kuhiji Nyumba Tukufu ukiweza njia ya kuelekea huko.' Akasema: 'Umesema kweli.' Tukamshangaa anamuuliza na kumthibitisha! Kisha akauliza kuhusu Imani, akamjibu kuhusu nguzo sita za Imani. Akauliza kuhusu Ihsani, akajibu: 'Ni kumuabudu Allah kana kwamba unamuona, na ikiwa humwoni basi Yeye anakuona.' Kisha yule mtu akaondoka. Baadaye Mtume akasema: 'Huyo alikuwa Jibril, amekuja kuwafundisha dini yenu.'
Also on the authority of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah one day, a man with very white clothing and very black hair appeared to us. No trace of travel was seen on him, and none of us knew him. He sat down before the Prophet, leaned his knees against his knees, and placed his palms on his thighs and said: 'O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.' The Messenger of Allah replied: 'Islam is to testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, give Zakah, fast Ramadan, and make pilgrimage to the House if you are able.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' We were astonished that he asked him and confirmed him! He then asked about Iman and Ihsan, and the Hour and its signs. Then he left. The Prophet said: 'That was Gabriel who came to teach you your religion.'
Nguzo tano za Uislamu na nguzo sita za Imani zimeunganishwa.
Ihsani ni daraja ya juu zaidi ya kumuabudu Allah kwa unyenyekevu wa dhati.
