[Machine] "On the authority of Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , she said: "People used to pray in the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Ramadan at night in groups. A person would recite a portion of the Quran, and he would have with him five or six people, sometimes more or less, who would pray with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me one night to set up a mat for him at the door of my room. So I did, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to it after he had prayed the last evening prayer. Those who were in the mosque gathered around him, and he prayed with them for a long night. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left and entered the house, leaving the mat as it was. When the people woke up in the morning, they spoke about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with those who were with him in the mosque that night. And in the evening, the mosque was filled with people, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the last evening prayer with them. Then he entered his house, and the people stayed in their places. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, 'O Aisha, what is the matter with the people?' I said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, the people heard about your prayer last night with those who were in the mosque, so they gathered for you to pray with them.' He said, 'Get rid of your mat, O Aisha.' So I did, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent the night without being aware of it. The people stayed in their places until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out in the morning to dawn and said, 'O people, by Allah, I did not spend the night in heedlessness, and my location was not hidden from me. But I feared that it would be made obligatory upon you, so do as much acts of worship as you are able, for Allah does not become tired until you become tired.' Aisha used to say, 'The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are done consistently, even if they are few.'"
