It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah in the early period of his prophethood, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in hiding (from the polytheists). I asked: Who are you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am a Prophet." I asked: What is meant by a Prophet? He said: "The Messenger of Allah." I asked: With what has Allah sent you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That Allah alone be worshipped, that idols be broken, and that relatives be treated with kindness and ties of kinship be maintained." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
