باب ما جاء فى صوم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the fasting of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
Moderation is necessary in deeds
Hadith 310
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدِي امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذِهِ؟» قُلْتُ: فُلَانَةُ لَا تَنَامُ اللَّيْلَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ، فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يَمَلُّ اللَّهُ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا» ، وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ صَاحِبُهُ
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and there was a woman with me. He (peace be upon him) asked: “Who is this?” I replied: “This is such-and-such woman, who does not sleep at night (rather, she stands in prayer).” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Adopt only those deeds which you are able to do. By Allah! Allah does not tire (of giving reward), but you will tire (of performing deeds).” Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The most beloved deed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was that which a person performed consistently.
