DO NOT INFLICT UNNECESSARY HARDSHIPS UPON YOURSELF H H 153 While the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was delivering his sermon, he noticed a man standing up and inquired about him. He was told that his name was Abu Israel and that he had made a vow to keep standing in the sun. He would neither sit down, move into the shade, nor would he speak to anyone and he was fasting. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: 'Tell him to speak, and to move into the shade and sit down. But let him complete his fast.' R 153 Bukhari with a chain up to ibn Abbas who related this.
ON THE SUBJECT OF 15 BEING CONSTANT IN GOOD DEEDS Let us start by reading some verses from the Koran Allah, the Exalted says: "Is it not time that the hearts of the believers be humbled to the Remembrance of Allah and the truth which He has sent down? They should not be like those who were given the Book before this, whose time became very long so that their hearts became hardened Many of them were impious." 57:16 Koran "Following them We sent down Our (other) Messengers, And We sent following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary and gave him the Gospel, and put tenderness and mercy in the hearts of his followers. As for the monasticism, they invented it, thereby seeking the pleasure of Allah. We did not write it for them, and they did not observe it as it should be observed." 57:27 Koran "Do not be like the woman who breaks her thread, after it is firmly spun into fibers, by taking your oaths as mere mutual deceit, one nation being more numerous than the other....." 16:92 Koran "Worship your Lord till the certainty (death) overtakes you." 15:99 Koran
BE CONSISTENT H 154 "Of religious actions Allah likes that which one practices continuously. A person who misses his voluntary prayer or a portion of it at night because of sleep will be credited with the same merit if he makes up for it any time between the dawn and mid-day prayer." R 154 The Mother of Believers, Lady Ayesha who related the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this. Muslim with a chain up to Omar son of Khattab who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
H 155 H "The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, directed me: 'Abdullah, do not be like so and so. He used to get up during the night for the voluntary prayer but gave up doing so later.'" R 155 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abdullah son of Amr son of Al 'As who related this.
H 156 H "If the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, missed his voluntary prayer during the night due to something such as illness he would offer twelve units of prayer during the day." R 156 Muslim with a chain up to the Mother of Believers, Lady Ayesha who related this.

H 152 H "Abu Bakr Siddique met Hanzala the son of Rabi' Usaidi and greeted him saying: 'How are you, Hanzala?' He replied: 'Hanzala has become a hypocrite.' Abu Bakr said: 'Exalted is Allah, what are you saying, Hanzala?' He replied: 'When we are in the company of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, he reminds us of Paradise and the Fire and we feel as if we are looking at them. But when we depart from him we are distracted by our wives, children and livelihood and we forget the greater part.' Abu Bakr said: 'We too are in the same state.' Then Abu Bakr and he walked together until they came to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and Hanzala said: 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, Hanzala has become a hypocrite.' He asked: 'What is that?' Hanzala replied: 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, when we are in your company you talk to us of Paradise and the Fire and we feel as if we are looking at them. But when we leave you we are distracted by our wives, children and livelihoods and we forget the greater part." The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: "By Him in whose Hands is my life, if you were to continue as you are when you are with me occupied with the remembrance of Allah, the angels would shake hands with you in your bed and in your streets. But Hanzala, there are moments and moments, and he repeated this last phrase three times.'" R 152 Muslim with a chain up to Hanzala son of Rabi' Usaidi who related this.
