Explanation of Riyad as-Saliheen: The Chapter on Moderation in Acts of Obedience & Preserving Deeds is a valuable commentary by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) on one of the most important chapters of Imam An-Nawawi's Riyad as-Saliheen.

Moderation is that one maintains a middle course between extrem ism and negligence, because it is required from the person in all his circumstances to take a middle course between extremism and ne glect Allaah, the Most High, says,
"And those, who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor nig gardly, but hold a medium (way) between those (extremes)." Al- Purgan (25.67)
In this manner, the person should or rather must act moderately in acts of obedience. So you should not burden yourself with what you cannot bear because when the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) heard about the three individuals, one of whom said, "Indeed, I will not wed women," and the second said, I will observe fasting and never break it, and the third said, "I will stand up in prayer at night and will not sleep'; he (alayhi salatu wa salaam) delivered a speech in which he said,
"What is the matter those who say such and such, indeed I will pray at night and not sleep, I will observe fasting and not break it, and I will not wed women? For whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me."
