Narrated Talha bin Ubaidullah ( ra): A bedouin Arab from the village,with unkempt hair came to Allahs Apostle ( pbuh) and said, O Allahs Apostle! Tell me what Allah has enjoined on me as regards prayers. The Prophet said, You have to offer perfectly the five (compulsory) prayers in a day and a night (24 hrs.), except if you want to perform some extra optional prayers. The bedouin said, Tell me what Allah has enjoined on me as regards fasting. The Prophet said, You have to observe fast during the month of Ramadan except if you fast some extra optional fast. The bedouin said,tell me what Allah has enjoined me as regard Hajj. The prophet said: The perform Hajj once in a life time except, you may like to do optional. The bedouin said, Tell me what Allah has enjoined on me as regard Zakat. The Prophet then told him the Islamic laws and regulations whereupon the bedouin said, By Him Who has honored you, I will not perform any optional deeds of worship and I will not leave anything of what Allah has enjoined on me. Allahs Apostle said, He will be successful if he has told the truth (or he will enter Paradise if he said the truth). [Sahih Muslim Vol 9 Book; 86 No ;88 ]
