HADITH
Also on the authority of Umar (may Alllah be pleased with him), who said:

One day while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah
(may the blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) there appeared before us a man whose clothes were exceedingly
white and whose hair was exceedingly black; no signs of journeying were
to be seen on him and none of us knew him. He walked up and sat down by
the Prophet (may the blessings and Peace be of Allah
be upon him). Resting his knees against his and placing the palms of his
hands on this thighs, he said: O Muhammed! tell me about Islam. The Messenger
of Allah (may the blessings and Peace be
of Allah be upon him) said : "Islam is to
testify that there is no god but Allah and
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to perform
the prayers, to pay the Zakat, to fast in Ramadan, and to make the pilgrimage
to the House (Ka'aba) if you're able to do so". He said: you have spoken
rightly, and we were amazed at him asking him and saying that he had spoken
rightly. He said: Then tell me about Iman. He said : "It is to believe
in Allah, His angles, His books, His messengers,
and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and
the evil thereof". He said: you've spoken rightly. He said: then tell
me about Ihsan. He said: " it is to worship Allah
as though you are seeing Him , and while you see Him not yet truly He
sees you." He said: then tell me about the Hour( the day of judgment).
He said: "The one questioned about it known no better than the questioner."
He said: Then tell me about its signs. He Said: that the slave-girl will
give birth to her mistress and that you will see the barefooted, naked,
destitute, herdsmen competing in constructing lofty buildings. Then he
took himself off and I stayed for a time. Then he said: "O! Umer, do you
know who the questioner was?" I said: Allah
and His Messenger know best. He Said: "It was Gabriel, who came to you
to teach you your religion"
