English translation

391. It was reported from Abū Suhail bin Mālik from his father, that he heard Ṭalḥah bin 'Ubaidullāh saying: "A person from the people of Najd came to the Messenger Allāh ﷺ whose hair was dishevelled, and the sound of his voice could be heard, but (we) could not understand what he was saying until he came close (to the Prophet ﷺ). Then he began to ask about Islam. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'There are five prayers in a day and night.' He said: 'Is there any that are obligatory upon me besides these?' He said: 'No, unless you wish to do so voluntarily.' And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ mentioned the fast of Ramaḍān to him, so he asked: 'Is there any that is obligatory upon me besides it?' He said: 'No, unless you wish to do so voluntarily.' And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ also mentioned the charity to him.[1] He said: 'Is there any that is obligatory upon me besides this?' He said: 'No, unless you wish to do so voluntarily.' So the man turned away (to leave) and said: 'I swear by Allāh I will not do more than this, nor less!' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ then said: 'He has succeeded, if he is truthful.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

391 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي سُهَيْلِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ ثَائِرَ الرَّأْسِ يُسْمَعُ دَوِيُّ صَوْتِهِ وَلَا يُفْقَهُ مَا يَقُولُ: حَتَّى دَنَا، فَإِذَا هُوَ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ». قَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُنَّ؟ قَالَ: «لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ». قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صِيَامَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ». قَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُ؟ قَالَ: «لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ». قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّدَقَةَ. قَالَ: فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا؟ قَالَ: «لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَّوَّعَ». فَأَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَاللَّهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا وَلَا أَنْقُصُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفْلَحَ إِنْ صَدَقَ»
