A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) asking how the Prophet (ﷺ)worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worshipinsufficient and said, "Where are we from the Prophet (ﷺ) as his past and future sins have been forgiven."Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I willfast throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from thewomen and will not marry forever." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to them and said, "Are you the same peoplewho said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet Ifast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my tradition inreligion, is not from me (not one of my followers).
