حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ حَيَّانَ الْأَحْمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِکٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَی خَمْسَةٍ عَلَی أَنْ يُوَحَّدَ اللَّهُ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَائِ الزَّکَاةِ وَصِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ وَالْحَجِّ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ الْحَجُّ وَصِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ لَا صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ وَالْحَجُّ هَکَذَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 111
It is narrated on the authority of Jabir that a man once said to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): Shall I enter Paradise in case I say the obligatory prayers, observe the (fasts) of Ramadan and treat that as lawful which has been made permissible (by the Shari'ah) and deny myself that what is forbidden, and make no addition to it? He (the Holy Prophet) replied in the affirmative. He (the inquirer) said: By Allah, I would add nothing to it.
