CHAPTER: The Command To Pray It Moderately
Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Choose such actions as you are capable of performing, for Allah does not grow weary till you do. The acts most pleasing to Allah are those which are done most continuously, even if they amount to little. Whenever he began an action, he would do it continuously.
Narrated Aishah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم called Uthman bin Maz'un. When he came to him, he said: Uthman, did you dislike my practice ? He said: No, by Allah, but I seek your practice. He said: I sleep, I pray, I keep fast, I (sometimes) leave fast, and I marry women. Fear Allah, Uthman, your wife has a right on you, your guest has a right on you, your self has a right on you ; you should keep fast and (sometimes) leave fast, and pray and sleep.
Alqamah said: Aishah was asked about the actions of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Did he perform some actions exclusively on some particular days ? She said: No, he performed his actions regularly. Which of you has the strength as much as the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had ?
