Five blessings of Ramadan granted to the Ummah of the Prophet ﷺ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “My ummah has been given five qualities in Ramadan that no nation before them was given: (1) the odor from the mouth of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk; (2) the angels seek forgiveness for them until they break their fast; (3) Allah ﷻ adorns His Paradise every day, then says: ‘My righteous servants are soon to cast off the burden and harm and come to you’; (4) the rebellious devils are chained in it, so they cannot reach what they used to reach in other than it; (5) and they are forgiven on the last night.”

It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, is it Laylat al-Qadr?” He said: “No; rather, the worker is only paid his wages when he has finished his work.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أُعْطِيَتْ أُمَّتِي خَمْسَ خِصَالٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ، لَمْ تُعْطَهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَهُمْ: (١) خُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، (٢) وَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرُوا، (٣) وَيُزَيِّنُ اللَّهُ ﷻ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ جَنَّتَهُ –ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: يُوشِكُ عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ أَنْ يُلْقُوا عَنْهُمُ الْمَئُونَةَ وَالْأَذَى وَيَصِيرُوا إِلَيْكِ– (٤) وَيُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ مَرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ –فَلَا يَخْلُصُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى مَا كَانُوا يَخْلُصُونَ إِلَيْهِ فِي غَيْرِهِ– (٥) وَيُغْفَرُ لَهُمْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ».

قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَهِيَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا، وَلَكِنَّ الْعَامِلَ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى أَجْرَهُ إِذَا قَضَى عَمَلَهُ».
