(46) To pay Zakat is a part of Islam
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَمِّه أَبِي سُهَيْلِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ ثَائِرَ الرَّأْسِ يُسْمَعُ دَوِيُّ صَوْتِهِ وَلَا يُفْقَهُ مَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى دَنَا، فَإِذَا هُوَ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا؟ قَالَ: لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَصِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ، قَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهُ؟ قَالَ: لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ، قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الزَّكَاةَ، قَالَ: هَلْ عَلَيَّ غَيْرُهَا؟ قَالَ: لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ، قَالَ: فَأَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَاللَّهِ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا وَلَا أَنْقُصُ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَفْلَحَ إِنْ صَدَقَ".
SAHIH HADITH:
Narrated Talha bin 'Ubaidullah: A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to Allah's Apostle 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. Allah's Apostle said, You have to offer prayers perfectly five times in a day and night (24 hours). The man asked, Is there any more (praying)? Allah's Apostle replied, No, but if you want to offer the Nawafil prayers (you can). Allah's Apostle further said to him: You have to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan. The man asked, Is there any more fasting? Allah's Apostle replied, No, but if you want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.) Then Allah's Apostle 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? Allah's Apostle 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. Allah's Apostle said, If what he said is true, then he will be successful (i.e. he will be granted Paradise).
