Musnad Ahmad Hadith 2903

O Messenger of Allah, tell me about Islam. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Islam is to turn your face towards Allah (in submission), to bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate, and to bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.” He said: If I do that, will I have become Muslim? He said: "If you do that, you will have become Muslim." He said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about faith. He said: "Faith means to believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book and the Prophets; to believe in death and in life after death; and to believe in Paradise, Hell, the Reckoning, and the Balance; and to believe in predestination, all of it, both good and bad." He said: And if I do that, will I have believed? He said: "If you do that, you will have believed.” He said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about ihsan, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Ihsan means to strive for the sake of Allah as if you can see Him, and although you cannot see Him, He sees you.” He said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me, when is the Hour? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Subhanallah, there are five matters of the Unseen which no one knows except Him: ‘Verily, Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things) [Luqman 31:34). But if you wish, I will tell you some of the signs of its approach.” He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah, tell me. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When you see the slave woman give birth to her mistress or her master, and you see the shepherds competing in the construction of lofty buildings, and you see the barefoot, hungry dependents become prominent figures among the people, those are signs and portents of the Hour.” He said: O Messenger of Allah, who are the shepherds and the barefoot, hungry dependents? He said: “The Arabs.”
