Sahih al-Bukhari 6465 (Book 81, Hadith 54) #6214
The Value of Small Deeds

SUMMARY: Regularly performing small deeds that are within one's ability is most beloved to Allah.

Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet was asked, "What deeds are loved most by Allah?" He said, "The most regular constant deeds even though they may be few". He added, 'Don't take upon yourselves, except the deeds which are within your ability".
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ أَىُّ الأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ

Perform regular duties within your ability
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad was asked what deeds are most beloved to Allah. He replied that the most beloved deeds are those which are done regularly, even if they may be small in size. He also advised not to take on more than what one can handle and only do those deeds which one has the ability to do. This hadith teaches us that it is important for us to perform our duties regularly and consistently, no matter how small they may be, as this will bring us closer to Allah and earn His pleasure. It also reminds us not to overextend ourselves by taking on too much at once, but rather focus on doing what we can with the resources we have available.
