[Malaika Ali]

Narrated Sayyiduna Talha bin 'Ubaidullah (Radhi Allaho anho) :
A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to
Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam)
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 (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) 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 (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) replied, "No,
but if you want to offer the Nawafil prayers (you can).
" Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) further said to him:
"You have to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan."
The man asked, "Is there any more fasting?"
Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) replied, "No,
but if you want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)"
Then Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) 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 (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) 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 (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said,
"If what he said is true, then he will be successful
(i.e. he will be granted Paradise).
