Moderation In Worship!! Anas رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰعنه reported: Three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ to inquire about the worship of the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. When they were informed, they considered their worship insignificant and said: Where are we in comparison with the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ while ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) has forgiven his past sins and future sins. One of them said: As for me, I shall offer Salat all night long. Another said: I shall observe Saum (fasting) continuously and shall not break it. Another said: I shall abstain from women and shall never marry. The Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ came to them and said, Are you the people who said such and such things? By ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى), I fear ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) more than you do, and I am most obedient and dutiful among you to Him, but still I observe fast and break it; perform Salat and sleep at night and take wives. So whoever turns away from my Sunnah does not belong to me. [Al Bukhari and Muslim] This Hadith deals with the following five points: a) Moderation in worship. b) Obligation to marry. c) Inducement for following in the Prophets footsteps. d) Prohibition from observing Saum (fasts) all the time. e) Prohibition of keeping awake all the night for Nawafil prayers. Dawah ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)
