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."

Talha bin Ubaidullah bataate hain: Ek shaks Allah ke Rasool ke paas aaya aur Islam ke baare mein pucha. Allah ke Rasool ne kaha: "Tumhe din-raat (chaubees ghanton) mein paanch farz namazein padhni hain." Shaks ne pucha: "Kya mere liye aur farz namazein hain?" Allah ke Rasool ne kaha: "Nahi, siwaye jab tum nafil padhna chaho." Allah ke Rasool ne phir joda: "Tumhe Ramadan mein roze rakhne hain." Shaks ne pucha: "Kya mujhe aur din roza rakhna hai?" Allah ke Rasool ne kaha: "Nahi, siwaye jab tum khud khushi se nafil roza rakhna chaho." Phir Allah ke Rasool ne unhe farz Zakat ke baare mein bataya. Shaks ne pucha: "Kya mujhe iske ilawa aur kuch dena hai?" Allah ke Rasool ne kaha: "Nahi, siwaye jab tum khushi se sadqa dena chaho." Isliye shaks yeh kehte huye chala gaya: "Allah ki qasam, main na isse zyada karunga na kam." Allah ke Rasool ne kaha: "Agar usne sach kaha hai, woh kamyaab hoga."
