1.47:
Narrated Abu Huraira: One day while the Prophet was sitting in
the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and
asked, "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle replied, 'Faith is to
believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His
Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further
asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship
Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay
the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the
month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan
(perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah as
if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of
devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you."
Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be established?"
Allah's Apostle replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge
than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents.
−1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master. −2. When
the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing
with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the
Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah.
The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the
knowledge of the Hour−−." (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel)
left and the Prophet asked his companions to call him back,
but they could not see him. Then the Prophet said, "That was
Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu
`Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part
of faith.
