حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جَمِيلِ بْنِ طَرِيفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، - فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ - عَنْ أَبِي سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ ثَائِرُ الرَّأْسِ نَسْمَعُ دَوِيَّ صَوْتِهِ وَلاَ نَفْقَهُ مَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى دَنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَإِذَا هُوَ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَىَّ غَيْرُهُنَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ ‏.‏ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ وَصِيَامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَىَّ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ ‏.‏ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَذَكَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الزَّكَاةَ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَىَّ غَيْرُهَا قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ ‏.‏ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ ‏"‏ قَالَ فَأَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا وَلاَ أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَفْلَحَ إِنْ صَدَقَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah ibn Sa'id ibn Jamil ibn Tarif ibn Abdullah al-Thaqafi narrated to us, from Malik ibn Anas—while it was being read to him—from Abu Suhayl, from his father, that he heard Talhah ibn Ubaydullah say: A man from the people of Najd, with disheveled hair, came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). We could hear the sound of his voice but could not understand what he was saying until he came close to the Messenger of Allah; then he was asking about Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Five prayers during the day and night.’ He asked, ‘Am I required to do anything beyond them?’ He said, ‘No, unless you do so voluntarily. And fasting the month of Ramadan.’ He asked, ‘Am I required to do anything beyond it?’ He said, ‘No, unless you do so voluntarily.’ The Messenger of Allah mentioned zakat to him. He asked, ‘Am I required to do anything beyond it?’ He said, ‘No, unless you do so voluntarily.’ The man turned away, saying, ‘By Allah, I will neither add anything to this nor reduce anything from it.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘He will prosper if he is truthful.’
