أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ أَبِي سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ ثَائِرَ الرَّأْسِ نَسْمَعُ دَوِيَّ صَوْتِهِ وَلَا نَفْهَمُ مَا يَقُولُ حَتَّی دَنَا فَإِذَا هُوَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُنَّ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ قَالَ وَصِيَامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ وَذَکَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الزَّکَاةَ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ فَأَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَی هَذَا وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْلَحَ إِنْ صَدَقَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 461
It was narrated from Abu Suhail, from his father, that he heard Talhah bin ‘Ubaidullah say: “A man from the people of Najd came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم with unkempt hair. We could hear him talking loudly but we could not understand what he was saying until he came closer. He was asking about Islam. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said to him: ‘Five prayers each day and night.’ He said: ‘Do I have to do anything else?’ He said: ‘No, unless you do it voluntarily.’ He said: ‘And fasting the month of Ramadan.’ He said: ‘Do I have to do anything else?’ He said: ‘No, unless you do it voluntarily.’ And the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم mentioned Zakah to him, and he said: ‘Do I have to do anything else?’ He said: ‘No, unless you do it voluntarily.’ The man left saying: ‘By Allah, I will not do any more than this or any less.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘He will achieve salvation, if he is speaking the truth.” (Sahih)
