HADITH-E-GABRIEL
It was related on the authority of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: One day, as we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) there came upon us a man in very white clothes and intensely black hair. No sign of journey (i.e. fatigue or dust) was visible on him, and none of us knew him. He sat facing the Prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in such a way, that his folded knees touched the knees of the Prophet, placed the palms of his hands on his own thighs and then he said: "0 Muhammad, tell me about Islam." The Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"Islam is that you bear witness; that there is no God but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger, that you keep up the prayers, that you pay the Zakat, that you fast in (the month of) Ramadan, that if you have the means to travel to make pilgrimage to the House of Allah (i.e. Ka'aba)."He said, "You said the truth."

TYPES OF QADIRI'S
Yes, Qadiri's are of three types:
HE WHO TURNS AWAY FROM REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH IS A WORLDLY PERSON
I pity and wonder at the people who instead of running towards Allah, run away from Him as if they had never heard or been exposed to Ma’arfa of Allah and yet there are some who despite of all that call themselves Arif - the one who had gained entry into the Holy Court. But in fact they are without any Ma’arfa and miles away from the Holy Court of Sayyidina Rasul-e-Akram (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) and on account of their Kashf (nasooti) and satanic Karama and Bid'at (innovation in faith) Shaitan makes them haughty. Therefore in pursuit of worldly wealth day and night they corrupt themselves.
