Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَيَعْلَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمْ مَضَى مِنْ الشَّهْرِ قَالَ قُلْنَا مَضَتْ ثِنْتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ وَبَقِيَ ثَمَانٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا بَلْ مَضَتْ مِنْهُ ثِنْتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ وَبَقِيَ سَبْعٌ اطْلُبُوهَا اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ يَعْلَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) from the people of Najd, and his head was disheveled. We could hear the sound of his voice but could not understand what he was saying until he came close and asked about Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Five prayers in the day and night. He said: Is there anything else? He said: No, unless you volunteer. And fasting in Ramadan. He said: Is there anything else? He said: No, unless you volunteer. And he mentioned the zakah. He said: Is there anything else? He said: No, unless you volunteer. The man turned away saying: By Allah, I will not add to this nor will I fall short. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: He will succeed if he is truthful.'
