Q
Why might the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) choose to abandon certain acts he loved to prevent them from becoming obligatory for his followers?
A
I have never seen the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observing the supererogatory prayer of the forenoon, but I observed it. And if the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) abandoned any act which he in fact loved to do, it was out of fear that if the people practised it constantly, it might become obligatory for them.
