حَدِيثُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، ٢٣٤٧٤ - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَيَحْيَى بْنُ جَعْدَةَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: ذَكَرُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَوْلَاةً لِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهَا تَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَتَصُومُ النَّهَارَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَكِنِّي أَنَا أَنَامُ وَأُصَلِّي، وَأَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ، فَمَنْ اقْتَدَى بِي فَهُوَ مِنِّي، وَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي، إِنَّ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ شِرَّةً ثُمَّ فَتْرَةً، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى بِدْعَةٍ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى سُنَّةٍ فَقَدْ اهْتَدَى " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from an Ansari companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some people mentioned before the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) a slave woman from Banu Abdul Muttalib, saying that she spends the night in prayer and fasts during the day. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "But I sleep and I pray, I fast and I also leave fasting. So whoever follows my way is from me, and whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me. Every deed has a period of enthusiasm, which eventually comes to an end. So whoever’s enthusiasm ends in innovation has gone astray, and whoever’s enthusiasm ends in Sunnah has found guidance."
