✧ A group of the Companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ, among them ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, ʿAbd Allāh b. Rawāḥah, and ʿUthmān b. Maẓʿūn, had secluded themselves for worship, abstaining from women and eating meat, fasting the day and standing in prayer at night. I disliked that he should see from my state what would call him to what I had, because he would leave it to him. When the Prophet ﷺ entered, ʿĀʾishah informed him. The Messenger of God ﷺ took his sandal and carried it with the index finger of his left hand, then went quickly until he entered upon them and asked them about their condition. They said, “We desired good.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “I was sent with the lenient ḥanīfiyyah, and I was not sent with the innovated monasticism. Verily, some people innovated monasticism, and it was prescribed for them, but they did not observe it as it should be observed. So eat meat, come to women, fast and break your fast, pray and sleep, for I have been commanded with that.”
