The Hadith of Jibreel (AS)

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah and Abu Dharr said: “The Messenger of Allah  (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  would sit among his Companions and if a stranger came, he would not know which of them was he (the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  until he asked. So we suggested to the Messenger of Allah  (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  that we should make a dais for him so that any stranger would know him if he  (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) came to him. So we built for him a bench made of clay on which he (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  used to sit. (One day) we were sitting and the Messenger of Allah  (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  was sitting in his spot, when a man came along who was the most handsome and good-smelling of all people, and it was as if no dirt had ever touched his garments. He  (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  came near the edge of the rug and greeted him, saying: Peace be upon you, O Muhammad (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) ! He returned the greeting, and he said: Shall I come closer, O Muhammad? He came a little closer, and he kept telling him to come closer, until he put his hands on the knees of the Messenger of Allah  (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) . He  (Jibrael) said:
O Muhammad (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) , tell me, what is Islam?
He (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  said: Islam means to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him; to establish Salah, to pay Zakah, to perform Hajj to the House, and to fast Ramadan. He said: If I do that, will I have submitted (be a Muslim)? He (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  said: Yes. He said: You have spoken the truth, we found it odd. He said:
O Muhammad (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) , tell me, what is faith?
He (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  said: To believe in Allah, His Angels, the Book, the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم)s, and to believe in the Divine Decree. He said: If I do that, will I have believed? The Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said: Yes. He said: You have spoken the truth. He said:
O Muhammad(صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) , tell me, what is Al-Ihsan?
He (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  said: To worship Allah [SWT] as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Him, He can see you. He said: You have spoken the truth. He said:
O Muhammad (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) , tell me about the Hour.
He (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  lowered his head and did not answer. Then he repeated the question, and he (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  did not answer. Then he repeated the question (a third time) and he did not answer. Then he (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم)  raised his head and said: The one who is being asked does not know more than the one who is asking. But it has signs, by which it may be known. When you see the herdsmen competing in building tall buildings, when you see the barefoot and naked ruling the Earth, when you see a woman giving birth to her mistress. Five things which no one knows except Allah Verily, Allah, with Him (alone) is the knowledge of the Hour
Then he (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) recited verse 34 from Surah Luqman: Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things). Then he(صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) said: No, by the One who sent Muhammad with the truth, with guidance and glad tidings, I did not know him more than any man among you. That was Jibril, peace be upon you, who came down in the form of Dihyah Al-Kalbi.
