Home Hadith Hadith 1095
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to give up a good deed, although he loved to do it, for fear that people might act
on it and it might be made compulsory for them. The Prophet (ﷺ) never prayed the Duha prayer, but I
offer it.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 19, Hadith 8

One night Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me and Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked, "Won't you
pray (at night)?" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Our souls are in the hands of Allah and if He wants us to
get up He will make us get up." When I said that, he left us without saying anything and I heard that
he was hitting his thigh and saying, "But man is more quarrelsome than anything." (18.54)

One night Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the prayer in the Mosque and the people followed him. The next
night he also offered the prayer and too many people gathered. On the third and the fourth nights more
people gathered, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not come out to them. In the morning he said, "I saw what
you were doing and nothing but the fear that it (i.e. the prayer) might be enjoined on you, stopped me
from coming to you." And that happened in the month of Ramadan.
