وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، نَبَّأَ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، قَالَ : اجْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ ، فَقَالُوا : لَوْ بَعَثْنَا إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُنَّ عَنْ أَخْلَاقِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . فَبَعَثُوا إِلَيْهِنَّ ، فَقُلْنَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي ، وَيَنَامُ ، وَيَصُومُ ، وَيُفْطِرُ ، وَيَنْكِحُ النِّسَاءَ .
قَالُوا : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ : أَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَلَا أَنَامُ ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ : أَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَلَا أُفْطِرُ ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ : أَدَعُ النِّسَاءَ لَا آتِيهِنَّ ; فَإِنَّ فِيهِنَّ شُغْلًا .
فَاطَّلَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ : " مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يَتَحَسَّسُونَ عَلَى شَأْنِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ، فَلَمَّا أُخْبِرُوا بِهِ رَغِبُوا عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ كَذَا ، وَبَعْضُهُمْ كَذَا ؟ " ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَكِنِّي أَنَامُ وَأَقُومُ ، وَأُفْطِرُ وَأَصُومُ ، وَأَنْكِحُ ; فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي ".

It is narrated from Imam Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) that a few people gathered and consulted one another, saying: If we send someone to the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask about his (peace and blessings be upon him) noble character (that would be good). So they sent a messenger, and the pure wives replied that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prays (at night) and also rests, fasts and also breaks his fast, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) has also married.
On hearing this, those people (reasoned) that the status of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is such that Allah Almighty has forgiven him "whatever of your sins came before and whatever came after" [Al-Fath: 2]. At this one of them said: I will stand in prayer the whole night and never sleep; another said: I will always fast and never miss a day; and yet another said: I will leave women and not go near them, for they keep one occupied (away from worship).
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this matter, he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is the matter with people who pry into the affairs of their Prophet, and when they are informed of them, they show aversion to them? One of them said such-and-such and another said such-and-such?" Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), describing his own example, said: "But I sleep and I also stand (in prayer), I break my fast and I also fast, and I have married women; remember, whoever turns away from my Sunnah has nothing to do with me."
This blessed hadith makes clear that in the religion of Islam there is no room for monasticism and extremism; rather, moderation in all the affairs of life and following the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are the true aim of a believer.
