(577) بَابُ ذِكْرِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا دَاوَمَ عَلَى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ بَعْدَمَا صَلَّاهُمَا مَرَّةً لِفَضْلِ الدَّوَامِ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ

نا ابو عمار الحسين بن حريث ، ويعقوب ابن إبراهيم الدورقي ، ويوسف بن موسى ، قالوا: حدثنا جرير ، عن منصور ، عن إبراهيم ، عن علقمة ، قال: سالت ام المؤمنين عائشة ، فقلت: يا ام المؤمنين، كيف كان عمل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، هل كان يخص شيئا من الايام؟ قالت:" لا، كان عمله ديمة، وايكم يستطيع ما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يستطيع؟" هذا لفظ حديث ابي عمار، وقال يوسف: قالت:" لا، كان عمله ديمة" فاما الدورقي، فإنه قال: سالت عائشة: كيف كانت صلاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ ولم يقل: هل كان يخص شيئا من الايام؟
Hazrat Alqamah narrates that I asked Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "O Umm al-Mu'mineen, how was the blessed practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Did he (peace be upon him) specify certain days for worship and deeds?" She replied, "No, the blessed practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was continuous." And who among you has the strength to do as much as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was granted? These are the words of Abu Ammar's narration. The words of Yusuf are that she said, "No, his blessed practice was of continuity and permanence." Whereas in his narration, Al-Dawraqi said that he asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about how the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was, and he did not mention the words about whether he used to specify certain days for worship and deeds.

نا محمد بن العلاء بن كريب ، نا ابو اسامة ، عن هشام ، عن ابيه ، عن عائشة ، قالت: كان عندي امراة من بني اسد، فدخل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال:" من هذه؟" فقلت: فلانة تذكر من صلاتها، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:" مه، عليكم بما تطيقون، فوالله لا يمل الله حتى تملوا" قالت: وكان احب الدين إليه الذي يدوم عليه صاحبه
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a woman from Banu Asad was sitting with me when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came. He (peace be upon him) asked, "Who is this?" I replied, "Such-and-such woman, who is famous for the abundance of her (voluntary) prayers." So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Stop, you are required to do only as much as you are able. By Allah, Allah does not tire (of giving reward) until you tire (of performing deeds)." Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the most beloved deed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) was that which a person performed consistently.

حدثنا علي بن خشرم ، اخبرنا عيسى ، عن الاوزاعي ، عن يحيى ، عن ابي سلمة ، عن عائشة قالت: " كان احب العمل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ما داوم وإن قل ، وكان النبي إذا صلى صلاة داوم عليها" وقال ابو سلمة: الذين هم على صلاتهم دائمون سورة المعارج آية 23
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the act most beloved to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was that which was done consistently and regularly, even if it was little. Also, whenever the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performed a prayer, he would do so consistently. Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse «الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ» ("True believers are those") "who are constant in their prayers."
