Chapter 52: Witnesses
Narrated Talha bin 'Ubaidullah: A man came to Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) asking him about Islam, Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You have to offer five
compulsory prayers in a day and a night (24 hours)." The man asked, "Is there any more compulsory
prayers for me?" Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) said, "No, unless you like to offer Nawafil (i. e. optional prayers)."
Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) then added, "You have to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." The man said,
"Am I to fast any other days?' Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) said, "No, unless you wish to observe the optional fast
voluntarily." Then Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) told him about the compulsory Zakat. The man asked, "Do I have
to give anything besides?" Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) said, "No, unless you wish to give in charity voluntarily."
So, the man departed saying, "By Allah I will neither do more nor less than that." Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"If he has said the truth he will be successful."
