أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحْتَجِرُ حَصِيرًا بِاللَّيْلِ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهِ ، وَيَبْسُطُهُ بِالنَّهَارِ فَيَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَثُوبُونَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاتِهِ حَتَّى كَثُرُوا ، قَالَ : فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ : " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، خُذُوا مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا ، وَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَا دَامَ وَإِنْ قَلَّ " .
Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make a mat room at night and would perform prayer in it, and during the day he would spread it out and sit on it. The narrator says: People came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began to perform prayer following his prayer, until the number of people increased. The narrator states: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards those people and said: O people! Do as much as you are able to do, for Allah does not get tired, but you get tired, and the most beloved deed to Allah is that which is done regularly, even if it is little.
