Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb. It has been reported from more than one route that the Prophet ﷺ mentioned the Zakāt, and a man said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Is there anything else required from me?" So he said: "No. Except for what is voluntary."
Ibn Hujairah (one of the narrators) is 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Hujairah Al-Baṣrī.

Commentary
It is proven from this Hadīth that the obligation of wealth due from a person is only Zakāt; no other compulsory duty is due on the wealth except Zakāt. Financial obligations and responsibilities other than Zakāt are not because of wealth, instead they are due because of other reasons; like due because of family and other close relations, because of marriage, or the payment of Zakātul-Fitr at the end of the month of Ramaḍan. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi: 2/2)
