📖 'Aisha RadhiAllahu 'anha narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam entered while I was with another woman. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam asked, “Who is this?” I said, “She is a woman who never sleeps because she is always praying.” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "You must only perform deeds you are capable of doing. By Allah, Allah will not withhold from you until you give up. The most beloved religious deeds to Allah are those performed regularly."
