Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Witnesses - 8th Jumada-ul-Awwal 1427 (5 June 2006) Narrated Talha bin 'Ubaidullah (Radhiallaho anho): A man came to Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) asking him about Islam, Allah's Messenger said, "You have to offer five compulsory prayers in a day and a night (24 hours)." The man asked, "Is there any more compulsory prayers for me?" Allah's Messenger said, "No, unless you like to offer Nawafil (i.e. optional prayers)." Allah's Messenger then added, "You have to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." The man said, "Am I to fast any other days?' Allah's Messenger said, "No, unless you wish to observe the optional fast voluntarily." Then Allah's Messenger told him about the compulsory Zakat. The man asked, "Do I have to give anything besides?" Allah's Messenger said, "No, unless you wish to give in charity voluntarily." So, the man departed saying, "By Allah I will neither do more nor less than that." Allah's Messenger said, "If he has said the truth he will be successful."
