Shama'il al-Muhammadiya 295

Abu Salih (may Allah be pleased with him) reports "I enquired from Aisha and Ummi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him)ma that which act was the most beloved by Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" Both gave the reply "That deed which was practised continuously, even if it was a little".

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الرِّفَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ، وَأُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتَا: مَا دِيمَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ قَلَّ.
