Sahih al-Bukhari 4859 (Book 67, Hadith 1)
worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship
insufficient 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 will
fast throughout the year and will not break my fast.” The third said, “I will keep away from the
women and will not marry forever.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to them and said, “Are you the same people
who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I
fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my tradition in
religion, is not from me (not one of my followers).
“ أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ قُلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَتْقَاكُمْ لَهُ، لَكِنِّي أَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ، وَأُصَلِّي وَأَرْقُدُ وَأَتَزَوَّجُ النِّسَاءَ، فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي ”.
