It is narrated on the authority of Abu Ayoub Ansari that once during the journey of the Prophet may peace of Allah be upon him a bedouin appeared before him and caught hold of the nosestring of his camel and then said; Messenger of Allah or Muhammad ; inform me about that which takes me near to Paradise and draws me away from the Fire of Hell. He the narrator said: The Prophet ﷺ stopped for a while and cast a glance upon his companions and then said: He was afforded a good opportunity or he had been guided well. He the Holy Prophet addressing the bedouin said: Repeat whatever you have uttered. He the bedouin repeated that. Upon this the Apostle ﷺ remarked: The deed which can draw you near to Paradise and take you away from Hell is; that you worship Allah and associate none with Him; and you establish prayer and pay Zakat; and do good to your kin. After having uttered these words; the Prophet asked the bedouin to release the nosestring of his camel.
