حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: " مَا سَبَّحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى " قَالَ: وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: " لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتْرُكُ الْعَمَلَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيُحِبُّ أَنْ يَعْمَلَهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَسْتَنَّ بِهِ النَّاسُ، فَيُفْرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ " قَالَتْ: " وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ مَا خَفَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (ﷺ) never performed the Duha prayer. Sometimes, the Prophet (ﷺ) would abandon a deed despite loving it, solely because he feared that people might start acting upon it and as a result, it would become obligatory upon them (and then they might not be able to do it). Therefore, the Prophet (ﷺ) preferred that there be more ease in the obligations upon the people.
