Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ فَجَاءَ أُنَاسٌ فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلَاتِهِ فَخَفَّفَ فَدَخَلَ
الْبَيْتَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَعَادَ مِرَارًا كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يُصَلِّي فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّيْتَ وَنَحْنُ نُحِبُّ أَنْ تَمُدَّ فِي صَلَاتِكَ قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ بِمَكَانِكُمْ وَعَمْدًا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ

حميد
English Translation
Ibn Abi 'Adi narrated to us, from Humayd, from Anas (رضي الله عنه), that the Prophet ﷺ was praying one night in his room, and some people came and prayed following his prayer. He shortened it and entered his house. Then he came out, and they were still praying. He said: "O people, do the deeds that you are able to do, for indeed Allah does not grow weary until you grow weary. And the most beloved of deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are few."
