عن أم المؤمنين عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: إِنْ كَانَ رسولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيَدَعُ العَمَلَ، وهو يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِهِ؛ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِهِ النَّاسُ فَيُفْرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ. المزيد
‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would give up a deed, even though he liked to perform it, for fear that people would follow him and perform it, and it would thus become obligatory for them.
