KITAB AL-IMAN (THE BOOK OF FAITH)

Chapter 1 : It is narrated on the authority of Yahya b. Ya'mur that the first man who discussed about Qadr (Divine Decree) in asra was !a'bad a"#$uhani. I a"on% with Humaid b. '&bdur#'ahman Himyari set out for (ri"%rima%e or for ')mrah and said: *hou"d it so ha((en that we come into contact with one of the +om(anions of the !essen%er of &""ah ((eace be u(on him) we sha"" as, him a bout what is ta",ed about -a.dir (Division Decree). &ccidenta""y we came across &bdu""ah ibn )mar ibn a"#/hattab0 whi"e he was enterin% the mos.ue. !y com(anion and I surrounded him. 1ne of us (stood) on his ri%ht and the other stood on his "eft. I e2(ected that my com(anion wou"d authori3e me to s(ea,. I therefore said: &bu &bdur 'ahman4 there have a((eared some (eo("e in our "and who recite the Ho"y Qur'an and (ursue ,now"ed%e. &nd then after ta",in% about their affairs0 added: -hey (such (eo("e) c"aim that there is no such thin% as Divine Decree and events are not (redestined. He (&bdu""ah ibn )mar) said: 5hen you ha((en to meet such (eo("e te"" them that I have nothin% to do with them and they have nothin% to do with me. &nd veri"y they are in no way res(onsib"e for my (be"ief). &bdu""ah ibn )mar swore by Him (the 6ord) (and said): If any one of them (who does not be"ieve in the Divine Decree) had with him %o"d e.ua" to the bu", of (the mountain) )hud and then0 it (in the way of &""ah)0 &""ah wou"d not acce(t it un"ess he affirmed his faith in Divine Decree. He further said: !y father0 )mar ibn a"#/hattab0 to"d me: 1ne day we were sittin% in the com(any of &""ah's &(ost"e ((eace be u(on him) when there a((eared before us a man dressed in (ure white c"othes0 his hair e2traordinari"y b"ac,. -here were no si%ns of trave" on him. 7one amon%st us reco%ni3ed him. &t "ast he sat with the &(ost"e ((eace be u(on him) He ,ne"t before him ("aced his (a"ms on his thi%hs and said: !uhammad0 inform me about a"#Is"am. -he !essen%er of &""ah ((eace be u(on him) said: &"#Is"am im("ies that you testify that there is no %od but &""ah and that !uhammad is the messen%er of &""ah0 and you estab"ish (rayer0 (ay 8a,at0 observe the fast of 'amadan0 and (erform (i"%rima%e to the (House) if you are so"vent enou%h (to bear the e2(ense of) the 9ourney.

He (the Ho"y :ro(het) re("ied: -hat you affirm your faith in &""ah0 in His an%e"s0 in His oo,s0 in His &(ost"es0 in the Day of $ud%ment0 and you affirm your faith in the Divine Decree about %ood and evi". He (the in.uirer) said: You have to"d the truth. He (the in.uirer) a%ain said: Inform me about a"#Ihsan ((erformance of %ood deeds). He (the Ho"y :ro(het) said: -hat you worshi(

He (the Ho"y :ro(het) remar,ed: 1ne who is as,ed ,nows no more than the one who is in.uirin% (about it). He (the in.uirer) said: -e"" me some of its indications. He (the Ho"y :ro(het) said: -hat the s"ave#%ir" wi"" %ive birth to her mistress and master0 that you wi"" find barefooted0 destitute %oat#herds vyin% with one another in the construction of ma%nificent bui"din%s.

Ya'mur that when !a'bad discussed the (rob"em (ertainin% to Divine Decree0 we refuted that. He (the narrator) said: I and Humaid b. &bdur#'ahman Himyari ar%ued. &nd they carried on the conversation about the (ur(ort of the hadith re"ated by /ahmas and its chain of transmission too0 and there is some variation of words. It is narrated on the authority of Yahya b. Ya'mur and Humaid b. '&bdur# 'ahman that they said: 5e met &bdu""ah b.
