Sunan Ibn Majah 4237 (Book 37, Hadith 138) #33593
The Value of Persistence in Righteous Deeds

SUMMARY: The most beloved of deeds to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a righteous deed which a person persists in doing, even if it is something small.

It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: "By the One Who took his soul, he did not die until most of his prayers were offered sitting down. And the most beloved of deeds to him was a righteous deed which a person persists in doing, even if it is something small".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ ‏:‏ وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ ـ ـ مَا مَاتَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَكْثَرُ صَلاَتِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَيْهِ، الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ الَّذِي يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبْدُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسِيرًا
