أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي سُهَيْلِ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ ثَائِرَ الرَّأْسِ يُسْمَعُ دَوِيُّ صَوْتِهِ وَلَا يُفْقَهُ مَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى دَنَا فَإِذَا هُوَ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ» قَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا؟ قَالَ «لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ» قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَصِيَامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ» فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُ؟ قَالَ «لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ» قَالَ وَذَكَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الزَّكَاةَ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ « قَالَ فَأَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا وَلَا أَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ » أَفْلَحَ إِنْ صَدَقَ

A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we heard his loud voice but could not understand what he was saying, till he came near and then we came to know that he was asking about Islam. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have to offer prayers perfectly five times in a day and night (24 hours)." The man asked, "Is there any more (praying)?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "No, but if you want to offer the Nawafil prayers (you can)." Messenger of Allah ﷺ further said to him: "You have to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." The man asked, "Is there any more fasting?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "No, but if you want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)" Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ further said to him, "You have to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)." The man asked, "Is there any thing other than the Zakat for me to pay?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "No, unless you want to give alms of your own." And then that man retreated saying, "By Allah! I will neither do less nor more than this." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If what he said is true, then he will be successful (i.e. he will be granted Paradise)." (Using translation from Bukhārī 46)

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.
