5861. Narrated 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها: The Prophet ﷺ used to construct a room with a Ḥaṣīr at night in order to offer the Ṣalāt (prayer) therein, and during the day he used to spread it out and sit on it. The people started coming to the Prophet ﷺ at night to offer the Ṣalāt (prayer) behind him. When their number increased, the Prophet ﷺ faced them and said, "O people! Take upon yourselves only those good deeds which are within your ability, for Allāh does not get tired (of giving reward till you get tired, and the most beloved deeds to Allāh are the most regular and the constant ones even though they were few."

5861 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَحْتَجِرُ حَصِيرًا بِاللَّيْلِ فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ، وَيَبْسُطُهُ بِالنَّهَارِ فَيَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَثُوبُونَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَتِهِ حَتَّى كَثُرُوا، فَأَقْبَلَ فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، خُذُوا مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا، وَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَا دَامَ وَإِنْ قَلَّ»
