Explanation of the Book of the Hearts-03b

The reciter: Qutaybah narrated to us from Malik from Hisham ibn 'Urwah from his father from 'A'ishah that she said: "The most beloved deed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the one that was done consistently."

The Shaykh : His saying (peace and blessings be upon him), his saying: means of that type, otherwise it is well known that if a person were to persist in voluntary prayer, it would not become more beloved to Allah than the obligatory prayer, as came in the Qudsi Hadith: that Allah said: But he means the deed of this type, for example, a man who prays the Duha prayer and then leaves it, and another who prays it and persists in it, by virtue of the texts, he says the second is more beloved to Allah. A person who persists in the Zuhr prayer and another who does not persist, we say the first is more beloved to Allah. Yes, that is correct.
