Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately and know that your deeds will not make you enter Paradise, and that the most beloved deed to Allah is the most regular and constant even if it were little."

البخاري:٦٤٦٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنْ لَنْ يُدْخِلَ أَحَدَكُمْ عَمَلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَنَّ أَحَبَّ الأَعْمَالِ أَدْوَمُهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِنْ قَلَّ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Be upright and do your best to be close to what is right, and receive glad tidings, for no one’s deeds alone will admit him into Paradise.” They said, “Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Not even me, unless Allah envelops me in mercy from Him. And know that the most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are done consistently, even if they are few.”
