Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 255-258
Chapter 30: The virtue of a deed that is done persistently,
whether it be Qiyam al-Lail or anything else. The command to be moderate in
worship, which means adopting what one can persist in. The command to the one
who gets tired or weary when praying to stop until that feeling passes.
'A'isha reported that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had a mat and he used it for making an apartment during
the night and observed prayer in it, and the people began to pray with him, and
he spread it (the mat) during the day time. The people crowded round him one
night. He (the Holy Prophet) then said:
O people, perform such acts
as you are capable of doing, for Allah does not grow weary but you will get
tired. The acts most pleasing to Allah are those which are done continuously,
even if they are small. And it was the habit of the members of Muhammad's (ﷺ)
household that whenever they did an act they did it continuously. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 255)
'A'isha is reported to have
said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about the act most pleasing to
Allah. He replied:
That which is done
continuously, even if it is small. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 256)
Alqama reported:
I asked 'A'isha, the mother
of the believers, saying O mother of the believers, how did the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) act? Did he choose a particular act for a particular day? She said:
No, His act was continuous, and who amongst you is capable of doing what the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did? (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 257)
'A'isha reported Allah's
Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
The acts most pleasing to
Allah are those which are done continuously, even if they are small. and when
'A'isha did any act she did it continuously. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 258)
