What has come concerning knowledge
بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ فَأَنَاخَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، ثُمَّ عَقَلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَيُّكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُتَّكِئٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ. فَقُلْنَا هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الأَبْيَضُ الْمُتَّكِئُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " قَدْ أَجَبْتُكَ ". فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ فَمُشَدِّدٌ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَلاَ تَجِدْ عَلَىَّ فِي نَفْسِكَ. فَقَالَ " سَلْ عَمَّا بَدَا لَكَ ". فَقَالَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِرَبِّكَ وَرَبِّ مَنْ قَبْلَكَ، آللَّهُ أَرْسَلَكَ إِلَى النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ فَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ". قَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ". قَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ نَصُومَ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ مِنَ السَّنَةِ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ". قَالَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ، آللَّهُ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِنَا فَتَقْسِمَهَا عَلَى فُقَرَائِنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ ". فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ آمَنْتُ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ، وَأَنَا رَسُولُ مَنْ وَرَائِي مِنْ قَوْمِي، وَأَنَا ضِمَامُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ أَخُو بَنِي سَعْدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ـ هُوَ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ ـ عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ
Translation
Anas ibn Malik reported: While we were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ in the mosque, a man came in on a camel, made it kneel in the mosque and then hobbled it. Then he said to them, “Which of you is Muhammad?” – while the Prophet ﷺ was reclining among them. We said, “This fair-skinned man who is reclining.” The man said to him, “Son of Abd al-Muttalib!” The Prophet ﷺ said to him, “I have answered you.” The man said to the Prophet ﷺ, “I am going to ask you and be severe with you in my questioning, so do not hold it against me.” He said, “Ask about whatever occurs to you.” He said, “I ask you by your Lord and the Lord of those before you: has Allah sent you to all people?” He said, “O Allah, yes.” He said, “I adjure you by Allah: has Allah commanded you that we pray the five prayers in the day and the night?” He said, “O Allah, yes.” He said, “I adjure you by Allah: has Allah commanded you that we fast this month of the year?” He said, “O Allah, yes.” He said, “I adjure you by Allah: has Allah commanded you to take this charity (sadaqah) from our rich and distribute it among our poor?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “O Allah, yes.” Then the man said, “I believe in what you have brought, and I am the envoy of those of my people whom I left behind. I am Dimam ibn Tha'labah, of the Banu Sa'd ibn Bakr.”
Translator’s note: “O Allah, yes”: an affirmation calling Allah to witness.

Anas ibn Malik berichtete: Während wir mit dem Propheten ﷺ in der Moschee saßen, kam ein Mann auf einem Kamel herein, ließ es in der Moschee niederknien und band es dann fest. Dann sagte er zu ihnen: „Wer von euch ist Muhammad?“ – und der Prophet ﷺ saß angelehnt mitten unter ihnen. Wir sagten: „Dieser hellhäutige Mann, der angelehnt sitzt.“ Da sagte der Mann zu ihm: „Sohn des Abd al-Muttalib!“ Der Prophet ﷺ sagte zu ihm: „Ich habe dir geantwortet.“ Da sagte der Mann zum Propheten ﷺ: „Ich werde dich fragen und dabei in der Frage hart mit dir sein; so nimm es mir nicht übel.“ Er sagte: „Frag, was dir in den Sinn kommt.“ Da sagte er: „Ich frage dich bei deinem Herrn und dem Herrn derer vor dir: Hat Allah dich zu allen Menschen gesandt?“ Er sagte: „O Allah, ja.“ Er sagte: „Ich beschwöre dich bei Allah: Hat Allah dir befohlen, dass wir die fünf Gebete am Tag und in der Nacht verrichten?“ Er sagte: „O Allah, ja.“ Er sagte: „Ich beschwöre dich bei Allah: Hat Allah dir befohlen, dass wir diesen Monat im Jahr fasten?“ Er sagte: „O Allah, ja.“ Er sagte: „Ich beschwöre dich bei Allah: Hat Allah dir befohlen, diese Spende (Sadaqa) von unseren Reichen zu nehmen und sie unter unseren Armen zu verteilen?“ Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „O Allah, ja.“ Da sagte der Mann: „Ich glaube an das, womit du gekommen bist, und ich bin der Gesandte derer von meinem Volk, die hinter mir sind. Ich bin Dimam ibn Tha'laba vom Stamm der Banu Sa'd ibn Bakr.“

Enes b. Mâlik (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Biz mescidde Nebî ﷺ ile birlikte otururken bir adam devesinin üstünde içeri girdi, deveyi mescidde çöktürdü, sonra bağladı. Sonra onlara, “Hanginiz Muhammed?” dedi. Nebî ﷺ ise aralarında yaslanmış oturuyordu. “Şu yaslanmış oturan beyaz tenli adam” dedik. Adam ona, “Ey Abdülmuttalib'in oğlu!” dedi. Nebî ﷺ ona, “Sana cevap verdim” buyurdu. Adam Nebî'ye ﷺ, “Ben sana soru soracağım ve sorarken sana sert davranacağım; bana gücenme” dedi. Nebî ﷺ, “Aklına geleni sor” buyurdu. Adam şöyle dedi: “Senin Rabbin ve senden öncekilerin Rabbi adına soruyorum: Seni bütün insanlara Allah mı gönderdi?” “Allah'ım, evet” buyurdu. Adam, “Allah adına yemin vererek soruyorum: Gündüz ve gecede beş vakit namaz kılmamızı sana Allah mı emretti?” dedi. “Allah'ım, evet” buyurdu. Adam, “Allah adına yemin vererek soruyorum: Yılın bu ayında oruç tutmamızı sana Allah mı emretti?” dedi. “Allah'ım, evet” buyurdu. Adam, “Allah adına yemin vererek soruyorum: Bu sadakayı zenginlerimizden alıp fakirlerimize dağıtmanı sana Allah mı emretti?” dedi. Nebî ﷺ, “Allah'ım, evet” buyurdu. Bunun üzerine adam şöyle dedi: “Getirdiğine iman ettim. Ben, kavmimden geride bıraktıklarımın elçisiyim. Ben, Sa'd b. Bekir oğullarından Dımâm b. Sa'lebe'yim.”
Translator’s note: “Allah'ım, evet”: Allah'ı şahit tutarak yapılan bir teyit.
