Narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that we had a mat which we used to spread out during the day and at night we would cover ourselves with it. (There is a sentence beyond this which remained hidden from me, which I could not hear well from Sufyan.) Muslims used to join the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in prayer. Seeing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Take upon yourselves only as many deeds as you are able to bear, for Allah does not tire, but you will tire. And it was the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that when he started a prayer, he would remain steadfast in it, and the most beloved deed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was that which was done consistently.
