حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ
جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ: خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ. قَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُنَّ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ، فَقَالَ: صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ. قَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ الزَّكَاةَ. قَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِنَّ، وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُنَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: قَدْ أَفْلَحَ إِنْ صَدَقَ.

- أبو الوليد الباجي
رواية مالك أصح من رواية إسماعيل بن جعفر لأنه أحفظ وقد تابعه الرواة ولعل إسماعيل نقله بالمعنى
machine translationThe narration of Mālik is more sound (aṣaḥḥ) than the narration of Ismāʿīl b. Jaʿfar, because he is a better memorizer (aḥfaẓ) and the narrators corroborated him; and perhaps Ismāʿīl transmitted it by meaning.
