Talha bin Ubaidullah said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, from the people of Najd, with a hairy head. He heard the sound of his voice and did not understand what he was saying.

Until he approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he was asking about Islam. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said: "Five prayers a day and a night." He said: Do I have to do anything else? He said: "No, unless you do it voluntarily." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said: "And fasting the month of Ramadan." He said: Is there anything else required? He said: "No, unless you volunteer." And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, mentioned to him: Zakat. He said: Do I have to do anything else? He said: "No, unless you volunteer." So the man turned away and said: "By Allah, I will neither add to this nor take away from it." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said: "He will succeed if he is truthful."
