Shalom to all, baruch Hashem (ב"ה),

In the book Seven Gates of Righteous Knowledge, footnote 186 mentions that the saying "Who is a Hasid? One who goes beyond the measure of the law" can be found in the commentary of Rashi on Pirkei Avot 6:1. However, upon reviewing the mishnah itself and the commentary of Rashi available in English, I could not locate this statement explicitly.

Additionally, the same footnote refers to Rambam's introduction to Pirkei Avot, chapter 4, as a source for this teaching. While the Rambam does discuss similar ideas in that chapter, his explanation seems to frame the concept differently, describing the deviation beyond the measure of the law as a means to correct one's behavior due to the natural inclination toward the evil inclination (yetzer hara).

The Torah says of Jacob, Micah 7:20, “You will give the truth to Jacob, the kindness of Abraham, which you swore to our fathers from ancient times.” Since truth is eternal and unchanging, so is Jacob’s life. This means that he lives not only in the spiritual realm but also in this world, in an eternal sense. This is the meaning of the Talmudic statement in Tractate Taanit 5:2: “As long as his seed lives, so shall he live.” Jacob’s true life is reflected in his descendants. As long as his children continue on his path, his life also continues. In this way, Jacob’s life continues forever in this physical world as well.

Thus, Jacob’s life exists simultaneously on two levels. The lives of his descendants, on the natural and supernatural levels. This is the secret of the existence of the Jewish people – a people who live within the…
