Hadeeth # 22: Book:Arba'een An Nawawi

This hadith discusses a man asking the Prophet Muhammad if praying the prescribed prayers, fasting during Ramadan, treating lawful acts as permissible and forbidden acts as prohibited would be enough to enter Paradise. The Prophet responded yes. The hadith does not mention Hajj or Zakah, which are also pillars of Islam. Some scholars believe this is because Hajj was not yet obligatory when the man asked, and the man may not have been wealthy enough to pay Zakah.

Translation:
Abu ‘Abdullah Jabir bin ‘Abdullah al-Ansari, radiyallahu
anhuma, reported that a man questioned
the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, saying:
"Do you see, if I pray the prescribed (prayers), fast during
Ramadhan,treat the lawful as permissible and treat the
forbidden as prohibited, but donothing more than that,
shall I enter Paradise?” He (the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi
wasallam) answered: “Yes.”
[Muslim]
Imam Nawawi said that the meaning of “treat the forbidden as
prohibited” is to avoid the forbidden, and the meaning of to “treat
the lawful as permissible” is to perform them believing that they are
permissible.
One thing that we notice about the hadith is that Hajj and Zakah are not
mentioned even though they make up the five Pillars of Islam.

According to some scholars, the person who asked the question passed
away (in the Battle of Uhud) before hajj was made an obligation.

As for zakah, it is possible that it also was not yet made an obligation;
alternatively, the person questioning was not a person of wealth and
therefore was not required to pay zakah.
