The better of them is the one who does more naafil actions
Question

                If someone works on a task and follows more sunnah's while another person follows less sunnah's, does that mean that there is more noor (light) in the first persons task ?.
Praise be to Allah.
    Regularly performing Sunnah actions is one of the causes of 
    Allaah loving a person, as it says in the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari 
    (6502) from Abu Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allaah  (peace and 
    blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah says: ‘Whosoever shows enmity 
    to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not 
    near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have 
    enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with 
    supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his 
    hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with 
    which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask 
    [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for 
    refuge, I would surely grant him it.” 

    This hadeeth also indicates that Allaah helps and supports 
    the one who does a lot of naafil actions and protects his physical 
    faculties: his hearing, sight, hand and foot. 

    Al-Khattaabi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

    What is meant is that Allaah helps and guides His slave in 
    the actions that these faculties do… He guides his physical faculties and 
    protects him against falling into that which Allaah dislikes, such as 
    listening to idle talk that he may hear, or looking at that which Allaah has 
    forbidden, or striking that which it is not permissible for his hand to 
    strike, or walking towards falsehood with his feet. 

    Someone else said: His limbs do not move except with the help 
    of Allaah and for the sake of Allaah, and they all strive for the sake of 
    the truth. Fath al-Baari, 11/352. 

    No doubt the one who is like this, all his deeds are light 
    (noor) and are guided by Allaah, and that increases the more naafil deeds he 
    does.  

    But we cannot be certain that a particular person’s actions 
    have more light and guidance than another’s just because he does a lot of 
    naafil actions, because we cannot say whether Allaah has accepted these 
    naafil deeds. This is a matter of the unseen which no one knows except 
    Allaah. But it seems that if a person is given the choice between two 
    actions and he chooses that which is more liked by Allaah and closer to the 
    Sunnah, there is the hope that he will be guided and helped by Allaah. 

    And Allaah knows best.
