Hadith No: 183

Hadith: Talha ibne-Ubaidullah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that a man of the people of Najd with disheveled hair came to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. We could hear the sound of his voice but could not understand what he was saying till he came close to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam and we realised that he was asking about Islam. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Five times of Salat each day and night. He asked: Must I observe more than them? He replied: No, unless you do it voluntarily. Then Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: And fasting during month of Ramadan is obligatory. He asked: Must I observe anything else? Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam replied: No, unless you do it voluntarily. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam then mentioned Zakat to him and he asked: Must I pay anything else? He replied: No, unless you give it voluntarily. Then he turned and left saying: By Allah, I will not do more than that nor less than that. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam remarked: He has succeeded if (he keeps) true to his words. (Bukhari: 46)
