Sunan an-Nasai 5028 (Book 47, Hadith 44) #19560
Success Through Truthful Commitment

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man from Najd who asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) about Islam and was told to pray five times a day, fast during Ramadan, and pay Zakat. He said he would do no more or less than that and the Prophet said he would be successful if he was telling the truth.

Abu Suhail narrated from his father,: That he heard Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah say: "A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to the Messenger of Allah SAW; he was speaking loudly but his speech could not be understood until he came close. He was asking about Islam. The Messenger of Allah SAW said: 'Five prayers every day and night'. He said: 'Do I have to do any more than that? He said: 'No, not unless you do it voluntarily'. The Messenger of Allah SAW said: 'Fasting the month of Ramadan'. He said: 'Do I have to do any more than that?' He said: 'No, not unless you do it voluntarily'. Then the Messenger of Allah SAW told him about Zakah. He said: 'Do I have to do any more than that?' He said: 'No, not unless you do it voluntarily'. The man left saying, 'I will not do any more than that or any less'. The Messenger of Allah SAW said: 'He will succeed, if he is telling the truth'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ ثَائِرَ الرَّأْسِ يُسْمَعُ دَوِيُّ صَوْتِهِ وَلَا يُفْهَمُ مَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى دَنَا فَإِذَا هُوَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُنَّ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَصِيَامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ وَذَكَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الزَّكَاةَ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ فَأَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَفْلَحَ إِنْ صَدَقَ
