Sunan an-Nasai 5377 (Book 48, Hadith 338) #19909
Teaching Religion to Strangers

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) stopped his sermon to teach a stranger about their religion.

It was narrated that Humaid bin Hilal said: "Abu Rifa'ah said: 'I came to the Messenger of Allah SAW while he was delivering a Khutbah, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, a stranger has come to ask about his religion, for he does not know what his religion is". The Messenger of Allah SAW stopped delivering his Khutbah and turned to me. A chair was brought, and I think its legs were of iron. The Messenger of Allah SAW sat down on it and started to teach me what Allah has taught him, then he went and completed his Khutbah'."
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو رِفَاعَةَ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ غَرِيبٌ جَاءَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ دِينِهِ لاَ يَدْرِي مَا دِينُهُ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَتَرَكَ خُطْبَتَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَىَّ فَأُتِيَ بِكُرْسِيٍّ خِلْتُ قَوَائِمَهُ حَدِيدًا فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَجَعَلَ يُعَلِّمُنِي مِمَّا عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى خُطْبَتَهُ فَأَتَمَّهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of teaching people about their religion. It was narrated by Humaid bin Hilal that Abu Rifa'ah came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] while he was delivering a Khutbah, and said that he did not know what his religion was. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] stopped delivering his sermon and turned to him, providing him with a chair and teaching him what Allah has taught him. This shows us how important it is for us to teach others about their religion, even if they are strangers or new converts. We should be patient with them and provide them with all the knowledge they need in order for them to understand their faith better.
