Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 605 — The prohibition of overburdening oneself
اُردوEn
وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، ثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ ، ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ جَبَلَةُ ، أَنَّ شَابًّا تَعَبَّدَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُوهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ ابْنِي قَدْ أَجْهَدَ نَفْسَهُ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مُرْهُ فَلْيَرْبَعْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ .
It is narrated from a man of the people of Kufah who was called Jabalah that in the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a young man devoted himself entirely (to intense devotion). So his father came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "(O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!) My son has put himself into severe hardship and exhaustion through excessive worship." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Instruct him to be gentle with himself (and adopt moderation)."
This report is mentioned in Sunan al-Darimi, and its text teaches balance and moderation in religion instead of extremism and excessive severity, so that a person does not become weary and end up deprived of worship.
