2856 - Which deed was most beloved to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace? They said: Whatever is done consistently, even if it is little العمل كان أحب إلى رسول الله صلى الله ع

[ 2856 ] حدثنا أبو هشام الرفاعي حدثنا بن فضيل عن الأعمش عن أبي صالح قال سئلت عائشة وأم سلمة أي العمل كان أحب إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قالتا ما ديم عليه وإن قل قال أبو عيسى هذا حديث حسن غريب من هذا الوجه وقد روي عن هشام بن عروة عن أبيه عن عائشة قالت كان أحب العمل إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما ديم عليه حدثنا بذلك هارون بن إسحاق الهمداني حدثنا عبدة عن هشام بن عروة عن أبيه عن عائشة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نحوه بمعناه هذا حديث حسن صحيح

[2856] Abu Hisham al-Rafa’i told us, Ibn Fadil told us, on the authority of al-A’mash, on the authority of Abu Salih, who said: Aisha and Umm Salamah were asked: Which deed was most beloved to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace? They said: Whatever is done consistently, even if it is little. Abu Isa said: This is a good, strange hadith from this source. It was narrated on the authority of Hisham ibn Urwah, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Aisha, who said: The most beloved deed to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was that which was done consistently. This was narrated to us by Harun ibn Ishaq al-Hamadani. Abda narrated to us, on the authority of Hisham ibn Urwah, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Aisha, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, with a similar meaning. This is a good and authentic hadith.
