حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ : كَانَتْ عِنْدِي امْرَأَةٌ فَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ : " مَنْ هَذِهِ " . قُلْتُ : فُلاَنَةُ . لاَ تَنَامُ - تَذْكُرُ مِنْ صَلاَحِهَا - فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ : " مَهْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا تُطِيقُونَ فَوَاللَّهِ لاَ يَمَلُّ اللَّهُ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا " . قَالَتْ : وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الدِّينِ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ صَاحِبُهُ .

It wasnarrated that 'Aishah said:
"There was a woman with me, andtheProphet (ﷺ) entered upon me and said: 'Who is that?' I said:'So-and-so; she does not sleep,'" – she mentioned herexcessivepraying. "The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Keep quiet. Youshould do what youare able to, for by Allah, Allah does not gettired (of giving reward)but you get tired.'" She said: "Themost beloved of religious deed tohim was that in which a personpersists."
