A man from the people of Najd came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with disheveled hair. The murmur of his voice could be heard, but what he was saying could not be understood, until he drew near. It turned out he was asking about Islam.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Five prayers during the day and night."The man asked, "Is there anything else required of me?"He replied, "No, unless you do so voluntarily."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued, "And fasting in Ramadan."The man asked, "Is there anything else required of me?"He replied, "No, unless you do so voluntarily."Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the zakat.The man asked, "Is there anything else required of me?"He replied, "No, unless you do so voluntarily."The man turned away saying, "By Allah, I will not add to this nor fall short of it."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He has succeeded if he is truthful."
جاء رجل إلى رسول الله ﷺ من أهل نجد، ثائر الرأس يسمع دوي صوته، ولا يفقه ما يقول، حتى دنا فإذا هو يسأل عن الإسلام، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: خمس صلوات في اليوم والليلة فقال: هل علي غيرها؟ قال: لا، إلا أن تطوع قال رسول الله ﷺ: وصيام رمضان، قال: هل علي غيره؟ قال: لا، إلا أن تطوع قال: وذكر رسول الله ﷺ: الزكاة، قال: هل علي غيرها؟ قال: لا، إلا أن تطوع، قال: فأدبر الرجل وهو يقول: والله لا أزيد على هذا ولا أنقص، قال رسول الله ﷺ: أفلح إن صدق.
Malik narrated it in the Chapter on Shortening the Prayer (94), from his uncle Abu Suhayl bin Malik, from his father, that he heard Talha bin Ubaydullah, and he related the hadith. Bukhari narrated it from Ismail, from Malik, in the Book of Faith (46), and Muslim narrated it in the Book of Faith (8) from Qutayba bin Saeed bin Jameel bin Tarif bin Abdullah Thaqafi, from Malik. This hadith has already been given in full in the Book of Faith.Among the subtle features of Bukhari's chain is that all the narrators are relatives. Ismail is Ibn Abu Uways, the son of Malik's sister, so Malik is his maternal uncle. And the father of Abu Suhayl is Ibn Abu Amir Asbahi, the ally of Talha bin Ubaydullah. So this comes through the narration of Ismail, from his maternal uncle, from his uncle, from his father, from his ally.
