الإِيمَانُ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَبِلِقَائِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ، وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ

What It Means: Reading in Context
Abu Huraira narrates Gabriel’s questions to the Prophet about faith, Islam, ihsan and the Hour. This excerpt is the complete answer to the question about faith in this particular report. Its wording is retained without adding phrases from other versions of the exchange; the Prophet later identifies the questioner as Gabriel. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 50. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
