said: TheMessenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said:
"No one of you will be saved by his deeds." They said: Not even you, O
Messenger of Allaah? He said: "Not even me, unless Allaah bestows
mercy uponme. So do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and
worship Allaah in the forenoon and in the afternoon and during a part
of the night, and always adopt a moderate course whereby you will
reach your target (Paradise)." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6098
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
"So do good deeds"
means, strive to do what is right.
"moderately" means, do not go to extremes in worship, lest you become
tired and give up, and thus fall short.
This hadeeth indicates that we are encouraged to be gentle and
moderate in worship; the words used liken worship to walking atvarious
times of day and night, with the aim of reaching one's abode, namely
Paradise.
"Always adopt a moderate course"
means adhere to the middle way. The literal translation would be,
"Moderation, moderation"; the word is repeated for emphasis. Fath
al-Baari, 11/297
Conclusion: We invite you to ponder the ahaadeeth quoted above and
think about what they mean. Remember that the one who repents should
be grateful, and the best way of showing gratitude is to persist in
repentance, which means persisting in worship./
