Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not regularly perform the Duha prayer, whereas Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to perform this prayer.

She used to say: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would abandon many actions for fear that people might start following that way and it might become obligatory upon them.
