be upon him, when suddenly a man arrived. He was wearing clean, white clothes
and his hair was jet black. He did not look as though he were a traveler and he
was not known to any of us. He sat down close to the Holy Prophet, peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him, his knees touching the knees of the Holy
Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. He said: O Muhammad, tell me
something about faith. The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him, replied:
"Faith is that you should believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books and
His Prophets; that you should believe in the Day of Judgment and that you should
believe in the Divine Laws relating to good and evil." (Tirmidhi)
