Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ رَجَعَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ جَنَازَةٍ بِالْبَقِيعِ وَأَنَا أَجِدُ صُدَاعًا فِي رَأْسِي وَأَنَا أَقُولُ وَا رَأْسَاهْ قَالَ بَلْ أَنَا وَا رَأْسَاهْ قَالَ مَا ضَرَّكِ لَوْ مِتِّ قَبْلِي فَغَسَّلْتُكِ وَكَفَّنْتُكِ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْكِ وَدَفَنْتُكِ قُلْتُ لَكِنِّي أَوْ لَكَأَنِّي بِكَ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ لَقَدْ رَجَعْتَ إِلَى بَيْتِي فَأَعْرَسْتَ فِيهِ بِبَعْضِ نِسَائِكَ قَالَتْ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ بُدِئَ بِوَجَعِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ.
English Translation
Aisha reported: A woman from Banu Asad was sitting with me, and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came and said: "Who is this?" I said: "So-and-so who does not sleep at night (due to excessive prayer)." He said: "Stop! Take upon yourselves only what you can bear. By Allah, Allah does not get tired until you get tired." The most beloved of religious deeds to him was what its practitioner performed regularly.
