Hadith No: 7
Narrated/Authority of Talha bin Ubaidullah
that a
person with dishevelled hair, one of the people of Najd, came
to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). We heard
the humming of his voice but could not fully discern what he
had been saying, till he came nigh to the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him). It was then (disclosed to us) that he
was asking questions pertaining to Islam. The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Five prayers during the
day and the night. (Upon this he said: Am I obliged to say any
other (prayer) besides these? He (the Holy Prophet, ) said:
No, but whatever you observe voluntarily, out of your own free
will, and the fasts of Ramadan. The inquirer said: Am I
obliged to do anything else besides this? He (the Holy
Prophet) said: No, but whatever you do out of your own free
will. And the Messenger of Allah told him about the Zakat
(poor-rate). The inquirer said: Am I obliged to pay anything
else besides this? He (the Holy Prophet) said: No, but
whatever you pay voluntarily out of your own free will. The
man turned back and was saying: I would neither make any
addition to this, nor will decrease anything out of it. The
Prophet remarked: He is successful, if he is true to what he
affirms.
