3. Hadis Sambhar #1505

جاء ثلاثة نفر إلى بيت أزواج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم. وسألوا عن عبادة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم. فلما أخبروا به استصغروه وقالوا: أين النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم منا؟ وقد غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه وما تأخر. (لذلك نحن بحاجة إلى أن نصلي أكثر منه). فقال أحدهم: سأصلي الليل كله بقية حياتي. بالله! إني أخاف الله أكثر منك، وأخافه أكثر منك. ولكن أنا (نافل) أصوم وأفطر وأصلي وأنام. ويتزوجون النساء . فمن رغب عن سنتي فهو مني

Three persons came to the house of the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him). They asked about the worship of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Then when they were informed of it, they thought it little and said, Where is the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) compared to us? All his previous and subsequent sins have been forgiven. (Therefore we need to pray more than him).' So one of them said, 'I will pray all night for the rest of my life.' By God! I fear Allah more than you
