English translation
2682. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “The signs of a hypocrite are three: (1) Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie, (2) Whenever he is entrusted, he proves during the month of Ramadan." The man said, "Am I to fast any other days?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "No, unless you wish to observe the optional fast voluntarily." Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ told him about the compulsory Zakāt. The man asked, "Do I have to give anything besides?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "No, unless you wish to give in charity voluntarily." So, the man departed saying, "By Allāh I will neither do more nor less than that." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "If he has said the truth he will be successful." (See H. 46)
