Sunan Abi Dawud 1368 (Book 5, Hadith 119) #21660
The Power of Consistency in Worship

SUMMARY: Doing small acts of worship continuously is more pleasing to Allah than doing large acts of worship occasionally.

Narrated 'Aishah: The Messenger of Allah as saying: Choose such actions as you are capable of performing, for Allah does not grow weary till you do. The acts most pleasing to Allah are those which are done most continuously, even if they amount to little. Whenever he began an action, he would do it continuously.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا، وَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَدْوَمُهُ وَإِنْ قَلَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَكَانَ إِذَا عَمِلَ عَمَلاً أَثْبَتَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of consistency in our actions and worship. It teaches us that even if we are only able to do small deeds, they will still be accepted by Allah if done consistently. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his consistent practice and he encouraged others to do the same. He would start an action and continue it until it was completed, no matter how long it took or how difficult it was. This hadith reminds us that even though we may not be able to do big deeds, our small deeds can still have a great impact when done consistently over time.
