ahmad:24124Sufyān > Ibn ʿAjlān > Saʿīd > Abū Salamah

[Machine] Narrated Aisha: We had a mat that we would spread during the day and roll it up at night. There was something hidden from me until Sufyan explained to me that the Muslims used to pray with the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "Perform deeds that are within your capacity, for Allah does not get tired until you get tired, and the most beloved actions to Allah are those performed regularly."  

أحمد:٢٤١٢٤حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ كَانَتْ لَنَا حَصِيرَةٌ نَبْسُطُهَا بِالنَّهَارِ ونَتَحَجَّرُهَا بِاللَّيْلِ خَفِيَ عَلَيَّ شَيْءٌ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ مِنْ سُفْيَانَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاتِهِ فَقَالَ اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَاتُطِيقُونَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً أَثْبَتَهَا وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ أَدْوَمَهُ

ahmad:26038Muʿādh > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr > Abū Salamah > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] We had a mat that we would spread during the day and roll up at night. One night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed on it, and the Muslims heard his recitation, so they prayed with his prayer. When the second night came, their numbers increased, so he looked at them and said, "Take on from your deeds what you can bear, for Allah does not get tired until you get tired. And the most beloved action to Him is the one that is done consistently, even if it is little." She (Aisha) said, "And when he performed a prayer, he would establish it."  

أحمد:٢٦٠٣٨حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَتْ لَنَا حَصِيرَةٌ نَبْسُطُهَا بِالنَّهَارِ وَنَحْتَجِرُهَا بِاللَّيْلِ فَصَلَّى فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَسَمِعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ قِرَاءَتَهُ فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ كَثُرُوا فَاطَّلَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَيْهِ أَدْوَمَهُ وَإِنْ قَلَّ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً أَثْبَتَهَا

[Machine] "We had a mat that we would spread during the day and roll up at night. One night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and the people in the mosque heard his prayer. So, they gathered and mentioned it to the people, and the number of people increased on the second night. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw them and said, 'Engage in actions that you are capable of, for Allah does not get tired until you get tired.' Aisha said, 'The actions most beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were those that were continuous, even if they were little.' And when he prayed, he would make it firm.' Yazid said, 'We had a mat that we would spread during the day and roll up at night.'"
