[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "No month comes upon the Muslims that is better for them than Ramadan, and no month comes upon the hypocrites that is worse for them than Ramadan. This is because the believers prepare in it with strength for worship, while the hypocrites are known for their negligence and faults among people. It is a time when the believers seize the profits, while the sinners exploit it."  

أحمد:٨٣٦٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ تَمِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَحْلُوفِ رَسُولِ اللهِ مَا أَتَى عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ شَهْرٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَلَا أَتَى عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ شَهْرٌ شَرٌّ لَهُمْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَذَلِكَ لِمَا يُعِدُّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ لِلْعِبَادَةِ وَمَا يُعِدُّ فِيهِ الْمُنَافِقُونَ مِنْ غَفَلَاتِ النَّاسِ وَعَوْرَاتِهِمْ هُوَ غنْمٌ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَغْتَنِمُهُ الْفَاجِرُ
