4238. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "There was a woman with me, and the Prophet ﷺ entered upon me and said: 'Who is that?' I said: 'So-and-so; she does not sleep,'" - she mentioned her excessive praying. "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Keep quiet. You should do what you are able to, for by Allâh, Allâh does not get tired (of giving reward) but you get tired.'" She said: "The most beloved of religious deed to him was that in which a person persists." (Sahih)
4238 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَتْ عِنْدِي امْرَأَةٌ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذِهِ؟» قُلْتُ: فُلَانَةُ، لَا تَنَامُ تَذْكُرُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَهْ، عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا تُطِيقُونَ، فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يَمَلُّ اللَّهُ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا» ، قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الدِّينَ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ صَاحِبُهُ

Worshipping more than one's ability is not allowed since it may lead to boredom, and it is also feared that the person may give up worshipping completely. The reward of the act that is done regularly multiplies more than the other acts, so it is more virtuous.
