I came to the Prophet ﷺ, and when I reached him I said, "By Allah, I did not come to you until I had sworn more times than these," and Bahz brought his two palms together, "that I would not come to you, nor follow your religion. Now I have come as a man who understands nothing except what Allah and His Messenger teach me. I ask you by the face of Allah, with what did Allah send you to us?"He said, "With Islam."I asked, "And what are the signs of Islam?"He said, "That you say, 'I have submitted my face to Allah,' and that you renounce all else, establish the prayer, and give the zakat. Every Muslim is sacred to another Muslim. They are two brothers who support one another. Allah does not accept any deed from a polytheist who associates partners with Him after having submitted, until he separates from the polytheists and joins the Muslims. Why should I not hold you back by your waistbands from the Fire? Indeed, my Lord will summon me and will ask me, 'Did you convey the message to My servants?' And I shall say, 'My Lord, I have conveyed it to them.' So let those of you present convey it to those who are absent. Then you will be summoned with your mouths sealed shut, and the first part of any of you to speak will be his thigh and his palm."I said, "Prophet of Allah, is this our religion?"He said, "This is your religion, and wherever you do well, it will suffice you."
أتيت النبي ﷺ حين أتيته، فقلت: والله ما أتيتك حتى حلفت أكثر من عدد أولاء أن لا آتيك، ولا آتي دينك، وجمع بهز بين كفيه- وقد جئت امرا لا أعقل شيئا إلا ما علمني الله ورسوله، وإني أسألك بوجه الله: بم بعثك الله إلينا؟ قال: بالإسلام… قلت: وما آيات الإسلام؟ قال: أن تقول: أسلمت وجهي لله، وتخليت، وتقيم الصلاة، وتؤتي الزكاة. كل مسلم. على مسلم محرم، أخوان نصيران، لا يقبل الله من مشرك أشرك بعد ما أسلم عملا، وتفارق المشركين إلى المسلمين، ما لي أمسك بحجزكم عن النار؟ ألا إن ربي داعي وإنه سائلي: هل بلغت عباده؟ وإني قائل: رب إني قد بلغتهم، فليبلغ الشاهد منكم الغائب، ثم إنكم مدعوون مقدمة أفواهكم بالفدام. ثم إن أول ما يبين عن أحدكم لفخذه وكفه. قلت: يا نبي الله! هذا ديننا؟ قال: هذا دينكم وأينما تحسن يكفك.
Ahmad (20043) narrated it from Ismail, who said, Bahz bin Hakeem informed us, and he mentioned it.Its chain is hasan because of Bahz and his father, for their hadiths are graded hasan, and his grandfather Muawiya bin Hayda Qushayri was a companion.
