Narrated Talha bin 'Ubaidullah:
A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to Allah's Apostle
and we heard his loud voice but could not understand what
he was saying, till he came near and then we came to know
that he was asking about Islam. Allah's Apostle said, "You
have to offer prayers perfectly five times in a day and night
(24 hours)." The man asked, "Is there any more (praying)?"
Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but if you want to offer the
Nawafil prayers (you can)." Allah's Apostle further said to
him: "You have to observe fasts during the month of
Ramad, an." The man asked, "Is there any more fasting?"
Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but if you want to observe the
Nawafil fasts (you can.)" Then Allah's Apostle further said
to him, "You have to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)."
The man asked, "Is there any thing other than the Zakat for
me to pay?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, unless you want to
give alms of your own." And then that man retreated saying,
"By Allah! I will neither do less nor more than this." Allah's
Apostle said, "If what he said is true, then he will be
successful (i.e. he will be granted Paradise)."
