The Five Pillars of Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught a Bedouin about the five pillars of Islam and encouraged him to stick to them.

Malik narrated from his paternal uncle, from his father, that he heard Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah say: A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allahﷺ, what is Islam?" He said: 'Five prayers every day and night'. He said: "Do l have to do anything other than that?" He said: "No". He asked him about fasting and he said: "Fasting (the month of) Ramadan". He said: "Do I have to do anything other than that?" He said: "No". He mentioned zakah and said: "Do I have to do anything other than that?" He said: "No". He said: "By Allah, I will do no more and no less than that". The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "He will prosper, if he means what he says".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْإِسْلَامُ قَالَ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُنَّ قَالَ لَا وَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ الصَّوْمِ فَقَالَ صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ وَذَكَرَ الزَّكَاةَ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا قَالَ لَا قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ إِنْ صَدَقَ‏.‏
