Sayyiduna Ibn Khassasiyyah Sudusi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to pledge allegiance to him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed these conditions upon me:“To bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, to establish prayer, to pay zakat, to perform the obligatory Hajj, to fast in Ramadan, and to strive in the way of Allah.”I said:“O Messenger of Allah! As for these two things—jihad and zakat—I do not have the strength for them, because people say about jihad that whoever turns his back from there returns with the wrath of Allah, so I fear that perhaps my soul may become anxious in the battlefield and may begin to dislike death. As for zakat, by Allah, I have only a few goats and ten camels; these are the milk-giving and riding animals for my family.”Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) closed his hand, moved it, and said:“If there is neither jihad nor zakat, then how will you enter Paradise?”I said:“O Messenger of Allah! Fine, I pledge allegiance to you,”then I pledged allegiance to him on all these matters.
