Sahih al-Bukhari 20 (Book 2, Hadith 13) #20
Doing Deeds According To Strength

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaching his followers to do deeds that are easy for them to do according to their strength and endurance. He also reminds them that he is the most Allah-fearing and knows Allah better than all of them.

Narrated 'Aisha: Whenever Allah's Messenger ﷺ ordered the Muslims to do something, he used to order them deeds which were easy for them to do, (according to their strength and endurance). They said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! We are not like you. Allah has forgiven your past and future sins". So Allah's Apostle became angry and it was apparent on his face. He said, "I am the most Allah fearing, and know Allah better than all of you do".

We should also remember that no matter how much knowledge or faith we have, there will always be someone who knows more than us or has a greater faith than ours. Therefore, it is important for us to stay humble and never think too highly of ourselves as this can lead us astray from the path of righteousness.
