Hadith # 692
'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'as (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, "O 'Abdullah! Do not be like so-and-so; he used to get up at night for optional prayer but abandoned it later."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary
This Hadith also stresses the same point, that is, man should be steadfast in his good doings. There should be no cessation in this respect, otherwise, he will unconsciously begin to incline to evil and, therefore, to the erosion of moral foundations of his character. Steadfastness in the observance of good ensures man's security against pitfalls and has Divine approval, too.
