Narrated Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu anhu): Allaah's Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe was sallam) said, “The deeds of anyone of you will not save you [from the hellfire].” They said, “Even you (will not be saved by your deeds), O Allaah's Messenger?” He said, “No, even I (will not be saved) unless and until Allaah protects or covers me with His Grace and His Mercy. Therefore, do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and worship Allaah in the forenoon and in the afternoon and during a part of the night, and Al-Qasd (always adopt a middle, moderate, regular course) whereby you will reach your Al-Qasd (target i.e., Paradise).” (1)
(1) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu alaihe was sallam) compares the Muslim to a traveler who should not exert himself at the beginning of the journey for he would become too tired to reach his destination. So one should adopt a moderate way of regular and constant worshipping of Allaah whereby one should reach his destination (i.e., Paradise).
