It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: Sayyida Khawla bint Hakim (may Allah be pleased with her) came to me; she was the wife of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'oon (may Allah be pleased with him). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw her disheveled state, he said: "Aisha! What has made Khawla's condition so bad?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah! This woman has no husband." The detail of the matter is that her husband fasts during the day and prays at night (and pays no attention to his wife), so she has become as if she has no husband at all; thus, she has neglected herself and wasted herself. Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'oon (may Allah be pleased with him). When he came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Uthman! Are you turning away from my Sunnah?" He said: "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah! Rather, I seek your Sunnah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I sleep and I pray, I fast and I break my fast, and I marry women. O Uthman! Fear Allah, for indeed your family has a right over you, so fast and break your fast, pray and also sleep."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beware! Those who exaggerate have perished. He said this three times.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a group of the noble Companions came; one of them said: I will not marry, another said: I will pray and will not sleep, another said: I will fast and will not break my fast. When this matter reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: What is the matter with these people who say such things? I fast and also leave fasting, I pray and I also sleep, and I also marry women. So whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me.

(Second chain) Some people asked the Mothers of the Believers about the secret acts of worship of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah Almighty likes the observance of concessions just as He dislikes disobedience.

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever does not accept the concession granted by Allah, will have sins like the mountains of Arafah.

Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a concession in a certain matter, but some people refrained from accepting it. When this reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he became so angry that the anger was visible on his face. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is the matter with people that they are turning away from something in which I have been granted a concession? By Allah! Among the people, I am the one who knows Allah the most and fears Him the most.

Abu Wa'il says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give admonition and advice every Thursday or Monday. We said: O Abu Abdur Rahman! We like your speech and wish that you would advise us daily. In response, Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The thing that prevents me from this is that I dislike making you weary, and I take care of you in giving advice just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to take care of us.

Shaqiq says: We were waiting in the mosque for Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him); he was supposed to come to us. In the meantime, Yazid bin Mu’awiyah Nakh’i came and said: Should I go to him myself and see? If he is at home, then it will be my responsibility to bring him to you. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and, standing by us, said: I was remembering your status and rank, but the reason I do not come to you often is that perhaps you might become weary. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to consider our weariness and would dislike causing us to become bored when giving us admonition and advice.

Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this type of hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), however, in this it is also mentioned: Ubaidullah Qawariyri says: I used to pass by Nasih bin Alaa and he would narrate hadiths to me, then when I asked him for more, he would say: I have nothing besides this. He was a blind man.
