Hadith 2079
حَدَّثَنَا الصَّنْعَانِيُّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى , حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ , حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ , عَنْ يَحْيَى , وَذَكَرَ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ , أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ , وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَنْبَرٍ , عَنْ يَحْيَى , عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِمِثْلِهِ . وَزَادَ قَالَ : وَكَانَ يَقُولُ : " خُذُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ , فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا " , وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الصَّلاةِ إِلَيْهِ مَا دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّتْ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلاةً أَثْبَتَهَا
A narration similar to the above is reported from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). In it, there is this addition that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Do as much as you are able, for Allah does not tire (of giving reward) until you tire (of performing deeds)." And the (supererogatory) prayer most beloved to him was that which was performed regularly, even if it was little. And his blessed practice was that whenever he performed a prayer, he would always continue to perform it.
