Sayyadina Aayeshah Radiyallahu Anha says: "Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam once came home, a woman was present at that time. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam inquired. 'Who is this woman?' I replied: 'This is a certain woman who does not sleep at night'. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: 'One should observe only that amount of nawaafil which one can bear. I swear an oath that Allah TaAala does not fear the granting of rewards, till you begin to fear the observance of deeds'. Aayeshah Radiyallahu. Anha says: 'The most beloved deed of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam were those that were practised continuously. (TIRMIZI)

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those present and those absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allah, whom amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon Islam, and whom amongst us You take unto Yourself, then let such a death be upon faith. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us stray after him. [Sunan Abi Dawud] (Aameen)
