The Prophet ﷺ did something and allowed his people to do it, but some people refrained from doing it. When the Prophet ﷺ learned of that, he delivered a sermon, and after having sent Praises to Allah, he said, "What is wrong with such people as refrain from doing a thing that I do? By Allah, I know Allah better than they, and I am more afraid of Him than they."  

عَائِشَةُ صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ فَتَنَزَّهَ عَنْهُ قَوْمٌ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَنَزَّهُونَ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ أَصْنَعُهُ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَأَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ خَشْيَةً  

"مَا بَالُ أَقوَامٍ يَتَنَزَّهُونَ عَن الشَّىْءِ أَصْنَعُه، فَوَالله إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُهُم بِالله، وأَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ خَشيَةً".
