He asked about:
Islam (Practice) – The five pillars: faith, prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage.
Iman (Faith) – Belief in Allah, His angels, books, messengers, the Last Day, and divine destiny.
Ihsan (Spiritual Excellence) – Worshipping Allah as if one sees Him.
The Hour (Day of Judgment) – Its exact time is unknown, but signs include social changes and material competition.
The Prophet ﷺ later revealed that the questioner was Jibril, teaching the Companions about their religion.
