It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one of the group of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I will never get married," another said, "I will pray all night and avoid sleeping," and the third said, "I will always fast and never miss a day." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this, he said, "What is wrong with people that they 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."
