Chapter: Persisting in a good deed
Hadith 4237
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ , عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق , عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ , قَالَتْ : " وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ , وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ , الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا " .
´It was narrated that Umm Salamah said:` “By the One Who took his (ﷺ) soul, he did not die until most of his prayers were offered sitting down. And the most beloved of deeds to him was a righteous deed which a person persists in doing, even if it is something small.”
Hadith 4238
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ , عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : كَانَتْ عِنْدِي امْرَأَةٌ , فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَ : " مَنْ هَذِهِ ؟ " , قُلْتُ : فُلَانَةُ لَا تَنَامُ تَذْكُرُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهَا , فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَهْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا تُطِيقُونَ , فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يَمَلُّ اللَّهُ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا " , قَالَتْ : وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الدِّينَ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ صَاحِبُهُ .
´It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:` “There was a woman with me, and the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon me and said: ‘Who is that?’ I said: ‘So-and-so; she does not sleep,’” – she mentioned her excessive praying. “The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Keep quiet. You should do what you are able to, for by Allah, Allah does not get tired (of giving reward) but you get tired.’” She said: “The most beloved of religious deed to him was that in which a person persists.”
Hadith 4239
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ , عَنْ سُفْيَانَ , عَنْ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ , عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ , عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الْكَاتِبِ التَّمِيمِيِّ الْأُسَيِّدِيِّ , قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَذَكَرْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ , حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ , فَقُمْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي وَوَلَدِي فَضَحِكْتُ وَلَعِبْتُ , قَالَ : فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي كُنَّا فِيهِ , فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ , فَقُلْتُ : نَافَقْتُ نَافَقْتُ , فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : إِنَّا لَنَفْعَلُهُ , فَذَهَبَ حَنْظَلَةُ فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَ : " يَا حَنْظَلَةُ , لَوْ كُنْتُمْ كَمَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِي لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ أَوْ عَلَى طُرُقِكُمْ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً " .
´It was narrated that Hanzalah Tamimi Al-Usaiyidi, the scribe, said:` “We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we spoke of Paradise and Hell until it was as if we could see them. Then I got up and went to my family and children, and I laughed and played (with them). Then I remembered how we had been, and I went out and met Abu Bakr, and said: ‘I have become a hypocrite!’ Abu Bakr said: ‘We all do that.’” So Hanzalah went and mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: “O Hanzalah, if you were (always) as you are with me, the angels would shake hands with you in your beds and in your streets. O Hanzalah, there is a time for this and a time for that.”
Hadith 4240
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ , حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ , سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ , يَقُولُ : قَال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ , فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْعَمَلِ أَدْوَمُهُ وَإِنْ قَلَّ " .
´Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Take on only as much as you can do of good deeds, for the best of deeds is that which is done consistently, even if it is little.”
Hadith 4241
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ , حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ , عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ جَارِيَةَ , عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ , فَأَتَى نَاحِيَةَ مَكَّةَ فَمَكَثَ مَلِيًّا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ , فَوَجَدَ الرَّجُلَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى حَالِهِ فَقَامَ فَجَمَعَ يَدَيْهِ , ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْقَصْدِ " , ثَلَاثًا , " فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا " .
´It was narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by a man who was praying on a rock, and he went towards Makkah and stayed a while, then he left and found the man still praying as he had been. He stood up and clasped his hands, then said: “O people, you should observe moderation,” three times, “for Allah does not get tired (of giving reward) but you get tired.”
