موطأ مالك

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَمِعَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ تُصَلِّي فَقَالَ " مَنْ هَذِهِ " . فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَذِهِ الْحَوْلاَءُ بِنْتُ تُوَيْتٍ لاَ تَنَامُ اللَّيْلَ . فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى عُرِفَتِ الْكَرَاهِيَةُ فِي وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لاَ يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا لَكُمْ بِهِ طَاقَةٌ " .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail from Ibn Abi Hakimthat he had heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, heard a woman praying at night. He said, "Who isthat?" and someone said to him,"It is al-Hawla bint Tuwayt, she doesnot sleep in the night." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, disapproved of that and his disapproval showed inhis face. Then he said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, does notbecome weary, but you become weary. Take on whatever is within yourcapability."
