Shareek bin Abdullah narrates: He heard Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: Once we were sitting in the mosque. A man came riding on a camel. He made the camel sit in the mosque and then tied it. Then he asked the people: Who among you is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)? At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting among the people, reclining. The narrator says: We told him: This is the fair-complexioned gentleman, sitting while reclining (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him). That man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O son of Abdul Muttalib! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied to him: I am ready to answer you. He asked: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! I will ask you some questions and while asking, I may show some harshness, so do not be angry with me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ask whatever you find appropriate. He said: I ask you by your Lord and the Lord of those before you. Has Allah sent you to all mankind? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Allah (knows), yes. He asked: I ask you by Allah, has Allah commanded you that we should offer five prayers every day? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah (knows), yes. He asked: I ask you by Allah, has Allah commanded you that we should fast in this month every year? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah (knows), yes. He asked: I ask you by Allah, has Allah commanded you that you should take zakat from our wealthy and distribute it among our poor? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah (knows), yes! That man said: I believe in what you have brought, and I am the representative of my people who are behind me. My name is Dhamam bin Tha’labah, and I belong to Banu Sa’d bin Banu Bakr.
