haNarrated / Authority Of: Talha bin Ubaidullah
A Bedouin with unkempt hair came to Allah's Apostle and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Inform me what Allah has made compulsory for me
as regards the prayers." He replied: "You have to offer perfectly the
five compulsory prayers in a day and night (24 hours), unless you want to pray
Nawafil." The Bedouin further asked, "Inform me what Allah has made
compulsory for me as regards fasting." He replied, "You have to fast
during the whole month of Ramadan, unless you want to fast more as
Nawafil." The Bedouin further asked, "Tell me how much Zakat Allah
has enjoined on me." Thus, Allah's Apostle informed him about all the
rules (i.e. fundamentals) of Islam. The Bedouin then said, "By Him Who has
honored you, I will neither perform any Nawafil nor will I decrease what Allah
has enjoined on me. Allah's Apostle said, "If he is saying the truth, he
will succeed (or he will be granted Paradise)."
