The best good deeds in the sight of Allah, Exalted is He, are those performed regularly, even if few in number. In this hadeeth, the Taabi’ee (a Muslim who saw at least one of the Companions) ‘Alqamah ibn Qays Al-Nakh‘ee asked the Mother of the Believers ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Prophet ﷺ used to single out certain days of the month for special good deeds and worshipful acts that he would not perform on other days. ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied in the negative and stated that the Prophet ﷺ used to perform good deeds and worshipful acts regularly and constantly. The Arabic word used in the hadeeth is ‘Deemah’, which linguistically denotes continuous rain that does not cease and is accompanied by stillness, with no thunder or lightning. The word has later been used in reference to other meanings as well. In her statement, ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) likened his performance of good deeds and worshipful acts to a continuous and constant rain, then she remarked that the Prophet ﷺ was able to endure and perform more acts of worship than anyone else, in terms of quality (i.e., the perfection of their performance), quantity, observing Khushoo‘ (i.e.,the state of the heart when it stands before its Lord in full submission, humbleness, and absolute concentration), obedience, humbleness, and Ikhlaas (i.e., devotion of one’s intentions and deeds exclusively and sincerely to Allah). A Muslim is enjoined to strive hard in performing worshipful acts and voluntary good deeds to the best of his ability, and observe them regularly. It is deduced from the hadeeth that the acts of worship and good deeds may be performed on any given day, and that they are not restricted to specific days, except for those blessed days to which the Laws of Islamhas assigned special virtues and merits. .
