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." So, the man departed saying, "By Allah I will neither do more nor less than that." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If he has said the truth he will be successful."

It is related that Talha ibn 'Ubaydullah was heard to say, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and asked him about about Islam. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'It is five prayers a day.' He asked, 'Do I have to do any more?' He said, 'No, unless you want to do voluntary prayers. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, then said, 'And you must fast Ramadan.' He asked, 'Do I have to do any more?' He said, 'No, unless you want to do so voluntarily.'" He said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, mentioned zakat to him. He asked, 'Do I have to do any more?' He replied, 'No, unless you want to do so voluntarily.' The man withdrew, saying, 'By Allah, I will not do more than this nor less than this.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If he speaks the truth, he will have success.' [i.e. he will be granted Paradise]"
