Riyad as-Salihin 142 (Book) #38527
The Value of Consistent Good Deeds

SUMMARY: Allah does not withhold His Mercy and forgiveness from those who perform good deeds, but He likes the deeds best which a worshipper can carry out constantly.

Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet came in when a woman was sitting beside me. He asked me, "Who is she?" I said: "She is the one whose performance of Salat (prayer) has become the talk of the town". Addressing her, he said, "(What is this!) You are required to take upon yourselves only what you can carry out easily. By Allah, Allah does not withhold His Mercy and forgiveness of you until you neglect and give up (good works). Allah likes the deeds best which a worshipper can carry out constantly". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of consistent good deeds in order to receive Allah's mercy and forgiveness. It was narrated by Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Prophet Muhammad came in when a woman was sitting beside her. He asked who she was and Aishah said that she was known for performing prayer regularly. The Prophet then advised her to only take on what she could handle easily as it is better for one to do something consistently than to try too hard and give up altogether. This hadith teaches us that we should strive for consistency in our good deeds so that we can receive Allah's mercy and forgiveness. We should also remember not to take on too much at once as this will lead us to become overwhelmed or discouraged if we are unable to complete them all.
