Hadith on Deen: What are the signs of Islam?

Mu’awiyah ibn Haydah reported: I said, “O Prophet of Allah, I ask you by the face of Allah Almighty, with what did your Lord send you?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Islam.” I said, “What are the signs of Islam?” The Prophet said, “That you declare the surrender of your face to Allah Almighty, relinquish your old ways, perform prayer, and give charity. Every Muslim is sacred to another Muslim, two brothers supporting each other. Allah Almighty will not accept the good deeds of an idolater after he embraces Islam until he leaves the idolaters for the Muslims.”

عَنْ مُعَاوِيَة بْنِ حَيْدَة قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا بَعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ إِلَيْنَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ قُلْتُ وَمَا آيَاتُ الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ أَنْ تَقُولَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَتَخَلَّيْتُ وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ كُلُّ مُسْلِمٍ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ مُحَرَّمٌ أَخَوَانِ نَصِيرَانِ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ مُشْرِكٍ بَعْدَ مَا أَسْلَمَ عَمَلًا أَوْ يُفَارِقَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ
