The Prophet SAW said:

"If they obey you in that, then tell them that Allah has enjoined upon them five prayers every day and night. If they obey you in that, then tell them that Allah has made it obligatory for them to pay charity (zakat) from their property, to be taken from the wealthy among them and given to the poor among them."

(Sahih Muslim: 130)
