Sahih al-Bukhari 7301 (Book 96, Hadith 32) #7007
Doing What is Right Despite Others

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that one should not refrain from doing something which is allowed from a religious point of view just because others do not do it.

Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet did something as it was allowed from the religious point of view but some people refrained from it. When the Prophet heard of that, he, after glorifying and praising Allah, said, "Why do some people refrain from doing something which I do? By Allah, I know Allah more than they".
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ـ رَضِيَ الله عنها ـ صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ شَيْئًا تَرَخَّصَ وَتَنَزَّهَ عَنْهُ قَوْمٌ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَنَزَّهُونَ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ أَصْنَعُهُ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ، وَأَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ خَشْيَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to do what is right and permissible according to our religion, even if others around us are refraining from it. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was an example for all Muslims in this regard, as he did not shy away from doing what was right and permissible even if others were refraining from it. He also taught us that we should have faith in Allah and trust His judgement more than the judgement of those around us. We must remember that ultimately, only Allah knows best and He will reward those who follow His commands with the best rewards in this life and the hereafter.
