عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَمَضَانَ بِاللَّيْلِ أَوْزَاعًا يَكُونُ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَيَكُونُ مَعَهُ النَّفَرُ الْخَمْسَةُ أَوِ السِّتَّةُ أَوْ أَقَلُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَكْثَرُ فَيُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاتِهِ، قَالَتْ: فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنْ أَنْصِبَ لَهُ حَصِيرًا عَلَى بَابِ حُجْرَتِي فَفَعَلْتُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ أَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ قَالَتْ فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَخَلَ وَتَرَكَ الْحَصِيرَ عَلَى حَالِهِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ تَحَدَّثُوا بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَتْ وَأَمْسَى الْمَسْجِدُ رَاجًّا بِالنَّاسِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَثَبَتَ النَّاسُ قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ يَا عَائِشَةُ؟)) قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! سَمِعَ النَّاسُ بِصَلَاتِكَ الْبَارِحَةَ بِمَنْ كَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَشَدُوا لِذَلِكَ لِتُصَلِّيَ بِهِمْ، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ: اطْوِي عَنَّا حَصِيرَكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ!)) قَالَتْ: فَفَعَلْتُ، وَبَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرَ غَافِلٍ وَثَبَتَ النَّاسُ مَكَانَهُمْ حَتَّى خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ فَقَالَتْ: فَقَالَ: ((أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! أَمَا وَاللَّهِ! مَا بِتُّ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَيْلَتِي هَٰذِهِ غَافِلًا وَمَا خَفِيَ عَلَيَّ مَكَانُكُمْ وَلَكِنِّي تَخَوَّفْتُ أَنْ يُفْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاکْلَفُوا مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا))، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ: إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَدْوَمَهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ
Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the wife of the Messenger, Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who says: People used to pray in the nights of Ramadan in the Prophet’s Mosque in different groups; if a man had memorized some Qur’an, then five or six or less or more people would pray with him. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me one night to spread a mat at the door of my chamber. So I did so. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out towards it after performing the Isha prayer (and began to pray the night prayer; those who were in the mosque gathered around him, and he led them in a long night prayer, then he returned home and left the mat as it was). When morning came, people talked about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions with him at night. (As a result of this,) in the evening the mosque was filled with people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in the Isha prayer and, after finishing, went home, but the people remained there. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: Aisha! What is the situation of the people? I said: O Messenger of Allah! These people, after hearing about your prayer with some companions at night, have now gathered so that you may lead them in prayer. Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Aisha! Roll up your mat. So I did so, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spent the night at home, but he did not neglect (prayer and worship), yet the people remained at that place until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out for the Fajr prayer and said: O people! Praise be to Allah, neither did I spend this night in heedlessness, nor was your condition hidden from me. In fact, the matter is that I fear that this night prayer may be made obligatory upon you, so be responsible for deeds according to your capacity, because Allah does not tire until you tire. Abu Salamah said that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to say: Indeed, the most beloved deed to Allah is that which is done consistently, even if it is little.
