Ismaʿil ibn ʿAbdullah narrated to us, saying: Malik narrated to me, from his uncle Abu Suhayl, from his father, who heard Talha ibn ʿUbaydullah say: A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking him about Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Five prayers in the day and night.” He asked: “Is anything else required of me?” He said: “No, unless you perform extra voluntarily.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also mentioned fasting Ramadan. He asked: “Is anything else required of me?” He said: “No, unless you do so voluntarily.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned zakat. He asked: “Is anything else required of me?” He said: “No, unless you do extra voluntarily.” The man turned away, saying: “By Allah, I will neither add anything to this nor fall short of it.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “He will succeed if he is truthful.”
