- ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd narrated to us; Hishām ibn Ḥassān narrated to us; my father informed me—from ʿĀʾishah—that the Prophet ﷺ once entered her quarters while an unnamed woman was present. She began speaking about the length of her own prayers. He said, “Enough—do only what you can bear. By Allah, Allah never grows weary until you grow weary; the religious deeds He loves most are the ones whose doer perseveres in them.”
٩٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا، وَعِنْدَهَا فُلَانَةُ لِامْرَأَةٍ فَذَكَرَتْ مِنْ صَلَاتِهَا قَالَ: «مَهْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا تُطِيقُونَ؛ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يَمَلُّ اللَّهُ – Exalté soit-Il – حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا، إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الدِّينِ إِلَيْهِ مَا دَامَ عَلَيْهِ صَاحِبُهُ»
