Xafsa Posted October 29, 2003 Assalato Wassalamo Ala Sayidina Mohammadin Wa Ala Alihi Attaibin Attahirin Wassalam.. Narrated Talha bin 'Ubaidullah (Radhiallaho anho): A bedouin with unkempt hair came to Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) 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 Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) informed him about all the rules (i.e. fundamentals) of Islam. The bedouin then said, "By Him Who has honoured you, I will neither perform any Nawafil nor will I decrease what Allah has enjoined on me. Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "If he is speaks the truth, he will succeed (or he will be granted Paradise)."
