عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَيَحْيَى بْنُ جَعْدَةَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ذَكَرُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَوْلَاةً لِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالُوا إِنَّهَا تَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَتَصُومُ النَّهَارَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((لَكِنِّي أَنَا أَنَامُ وَأُصَلِّي وَأَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ فَمَنِ اقْتَدَى بِي فَهُوَ مِنِّي وَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي إِنَّ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ شِرَّةً ثُمَّ فَتْرَةً فَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى بِدْعَةٍ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى سُنَّةٍ فَقَدِ اهْتَدَى))
Mujahid says: I and Yahya bin Ja'dah went to an Ansari companion. He said: Once it happened that the companions mentioned a slave woman of Banu Abdul Muttalib to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in such a way that she stands in prayer at night and fasts during the day. Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: But I sleep and I pray, and I fast and I leave it off. So whoever follows me is from me, and whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me. Every action has eagerness, intensity, and excess, but then there is calmness and moderation as well. So whoever’s calmness leads him towards innovation will go astray, and whoever’s steadiness leads him towards the Sunnah will attain guidance.
