Moderation in Worship

Anas radiallahu anhu related that the Messenger salallahu alayhi wasallam entered the mosque and noticed a rope stretched out between two columns. He asked what it was there for and was told that it belonged to Zainab and when she became tired from continious worship she leans on it for support. The Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam said: "Unfasten that rope. Let one of you pray when he is active and when he is tired, let him rest." (Bukhari and Muslim)
