Sunan an-Nasai 1604 (Book 20, Hadith 7) #16215
Praying in Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not come out to the people who gathered in the mosque for prayer on the third or fourth night, as he feared that it would become obligatory for them.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that: The Messenger of Allah prayed in the masjid one night, and some people followed his prayer. Then he prayed the following night and more people came. Then they gathered on the third or fourth night and the Messenger of Allah did not come out to them. When morning came he said: "I saw what you did, and nothing prevented me from coming out to you but the fact that I feared that this would be made obligatory for you," and that was in Ramadan.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَصَلَّى بِصَلاَتِهِ نَاسٌ ثُمَّ صَلَّى مِنَ الْقَابِلَةِ وَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعُوا مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الَّذِي صَنَعْتُمْ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي مِنَ الْخُرُوجِ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلاَّ أَنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يُفْرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَذَلِكَ فِي رَمَضَانَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be mindful when introducing new practices into your life and consider whether they are wise or necessary before doing so .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Aishah tells us about an incident that happened during the month of Ramadan. It is reported that a group of people gathered in a mosque to pray at night and this continued for three or four nights. On one of these nights, however, Prophet Muhammad did not come out to join them. When morning came he explained why he had not done so; he was afraid that if he joined them every night it would become obligatory for everyone else too. This teaches us an important lesson about responsibility and moderation; we should be careful when introducing new practices into our lives as they may become difficult to maintain over time. We should also be mindful of our actions and how they might affect others around us; even if something is permissible, we should consider whether it is wise or necessary before doing it.
