976 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى السِّمْسَارُ بِدِمَشْقَ، أبنا أَبُو زَيْدٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، أبنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفَرَبْرِيُّ، أبنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ مُطَهَّرٍ، أبنا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ مَعْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الدِّينَ يُسْرٌ، وَلَنْ يُشَادَّ هَذَا الدِّينَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا غَلَبَهُ، فَسَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالْغَدْوَةِ وَالرَّوْحَةِ وَشَيْءٍ مِنَ الدُّلْجَةِ»
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Indeed, the religion is easy, and whoever makes the religion too hard upon himself, it will overpower him. So remain steadfast, be moderate, and seek help (in worship) in the morning, evening, and a part of the night."
Brief Explanation
Explanation:
“Religion is easy.” That is, the commands which Allah, the Exalted, has legislated are not beyond human capacity; they can be acted upon with ease, because Allah, the Exalted, does not burden beyond capacity. This absolutely does not mean that any act which appears difficult cannot be part of the religion, because for a person with ill intent, every act of religion seems difficult.
“He will make it hard.” That is, if someone introduces strict rulings into the religion from himself or is excessive (ghuluww), then a time will come when he will not be able to fulfill the very severity he himself has created, and his excessiveness will become a collar around his own neck.
“Moderation.” This refers to voluntary acts (nawafil); otherwise, the performance of obligatory acts (fara’id) is always necessary. One should only take on as many voluntary acts as can be performed easily and consistently. (Nasa’i: 7/128).
