Sahih Muslim 784a (Book 6, Hadith 259) #8984
Praying Until Tired

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that one should pray as long as they feel fresh, but when they become tired, they should stop and sit down.

What is this? They said: It is for Zainab. She prays and when she slackens or feels tired she holds it. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Untie it. Let one pray as long as one feels fresh but when one slackens or becomes tired one must stop it.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْمَسْجِدَ وَحَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا لِزَيْنَبَ تُصَلِّي فَإِذَا كَسِلَتْ أَوْ فَتَرَتْ أَمْسَكَتْ بِهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ حُلُّوهُ لِيُصَلِّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَشَاطَهُ فَإِذَا كَسِلَ أَوْ فَتَرَ قَعَدَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي حَدِيثِ زُهَيْرٍ ‏"‏ فَلْيَقْعُدْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray as long as one feels fresh .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that one should pray as long as they feel fresh and energetic, but when their energy starts to slacken or become tired, then it is time to stop praying and sit down. This teaches us that we must be mindful of our physical limits while praying so we can give our best effort in worshiping Allah. It also shows us the importance of being patient with ourselves; if we are feeling too tired to continue praying then it is okay to take a break instead of pushing ourselves beyond our limits.
