Bahz bin Hakim narrated from his father that his grandfather Said: “I said: ‘Prophet of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم! I did not come to you until I had Sworn more than this many times’ — the number of fingers on his hands ‘that I would never come to you or follow your religion. I am a man who does not know anything except that which Allah and His Messenger teach me. I ask you by the face of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, with what has your Lord sent you to us?’ He said: ‘With Islam.’ I said: ‘What are the signs of Islam?’ He said: ‘To say: I submit my face to Allah and give up Shirk, and, to establish the Salah and to pay Zakah. Each Muslim is sacred and inviolable to his fellow Muslim; they support one another. Allah does not accept any deed from an idolator after he becomes a Muslim, until he departs from the idolators and joins the Muslims.” (Hasan)
