أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، ثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ:
أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَائِرَ الرَّأْسِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي مَاذَا فَرَضَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ ؟ فَقَالَ: " الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ شَيْئًا "، فَقَالَ: أَخْبِرْنِي مَا فَرَضَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الصِّيَامِ ؟ فَقَالَ: " صِيَامَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَتَطَوَّعَ شَيْئًا "، فَقَالَ: أَخْبِرْنِي مَاذَا فَرَضَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَخْبَرَهُ يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَرَائِعِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ، لَا أَتَطَوَّعُ شَيْئًا، وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِمَّا فَرَضَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - ﷺ: أَفْلَحَ وَأَبِيهِ إِنْ صَدَقَ، دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَاللهِ إِنْ صَدَقَ.

A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with disheveled hair and said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me what prayer Allah has made obligatory upon me." He said: "The five prayers, unless you volunteer something extra." He said: "Tell me what fasting Allah has made obligatory upon me." He said: "Fasting the month of Ramadan, unless you volunteer something extra." He said: "Tell me what zakāh Allah has made obligatory upon me." He said: So he, meaning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, informed him of the laws of Islam. Then he said: "By the One who has honored you, I will not volunteer anything extra, nor will I reduce anything of what Allah has made obligatory upon me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "He has succeeded, by his father, if he is truthful," or: "He will enter Paradise, by Allah, if he is truthful."

- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
وأبيه لفظة منكرة تردها الآثار الصحاح وبالله التوفيق
machine translationThe phrase "by his father" is a rejected (munkar) expression, refuted by the authentic reports. And success is by Allah.
in سنن البيهقي الكبرى, p. 7999 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
أفلح وأبيه إن صدق هذه اللفظة غير محفوظة وقد جاءت عن راويها وهو إسماعيل بن جعفر بلفظ أفلح والله إن صدق قال وهذا أولى من رواية من روى عنه بلفظ أفلح وأبيه لأنها لفظة منكرة تردها الآثار الصحاح ولم تقع في رواية مالك أصلا وزعم بعضهم أن بعض الرواة عنه صحف قوله وأبيه من قوله والله وهو محتمل ولكن مثل ذلك لا يثبت بالاحتمال
machine translationThe phrase "He has succeeded, by his father, if he is truthful" is not preserved (ghayr maḥfūẓ). It came from its narrator, Ismāʿīl b. Jaʿfar, in the wording "He has succeeded, by Allah, if he is truthful." He said: This is preferable to the narration of the one who narrated it from him with the wording "by his father," because that is a rejected (munkar) expression, refuted by the authentic reports, and it does not occur at all in the narration of Mālik. Some claimed that one of the narrators from him misread his words "by his father" from "by Allah," and that is possible, but such a thing is not established merely by possibility.
in سنن البيهقي الكبرى, p. 7999 - 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.
