[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah, the Most Blessed and Exalted, said: 'Every good deed of the son of Adam will be multiplied; a good deed is multiplied by ten to seven hundred times, except for fasting, for it is for Me and I will reward for it. The fasting person abstains from food, drink, and sexual relations, so My reward is for him. He leaves his desires and food for My sake.' The person observing fasting should avoid obscene speech and ignorance. If someone abuses him or quarrels with him, he should say: 'I am fasting, I am fasting.'"  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلُّ حَسَنَةٍ عَمِلَهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ جَزَيْتُهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ فَهُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ فَمَنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا فَلَا يَرْفُثْ وَلَا يَجْهَلْ فَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمُهُ أَوْ آذَاهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ»  

“Whoever fasts one day in the cause of Allah, Allah will keep the Fire away from his face the distance of seventy autumns (years) for that day.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1717)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَصُومُ عَبْدٌ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بَاعَدَ اللَّهُ بِذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say" 'Whoever spends on a pair of things in the cause of Allah, he will be called from the gates of Paradise: O slave of Allah, this is good for you. Paradise had (several) gates. Whoever is one of the people of Salah, he will be called from the gate of prayer. Whoever is one of the people of Jihad, will be called from the gate of Jihad. Whoever is one of the people of charity will be called from the gate of charity. And whoever is one of the people of fasting will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyan." Abu Bakr said: "Is there any need for anyone to be called from all of these gates? Will anyone be called from all of them, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Yes, and I hope that you will be among them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2439)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ دُعِيَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هَذَا خَيْرٌ وَلِلْجَنَّةِ أَبْوَابٌ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلَاةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّلَاةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِهَادِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الْجِهَادِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصِّيَامِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الرَّيَّانِ» قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عَلَى أَحَدٍ يُدْعَى مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَبْوَابِ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ هَلْ يُدْعَى مِنْهَا كُلُّ أَحَدٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ»  

"Whoever spends on a pair (of things) in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, he will be called in Paradise: 'O slave of Allah, here is prosperity, Whoever is one of the people of Salah, he will be called from the gate of salah. Whoever is on of the people of charity, he will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyan.' Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said: 'O Messenger of Allah, no distress or need will befall the one who is called from those gates. Will there be anyone who will be called from all these gates?' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2238)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ دُعِيَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَلِلْجَنَّةِ أَبْوَابٌ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلَاةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الصَّلَاةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِهَادِ دُعِيَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجِهَادِ وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصِّيَامِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَابِ الرَّيَّانِ» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ مِنْ أَيِّهَا دُعِيَ فَهَلْ يُدْعَى أَحَدٌ مِنْهَا كُلِّهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ»  

In Paradise there is a gate which is called Rayyan through which only the people who fast would enter on the Day on Resurrection. None else would enter along with them. It would be proclaimed: Where are the people who fast that they should be admitted into it? And when the last of them would enter, it would be closed and no one would enter it. (Using translation from Muslim 1152)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بَابًا يُقَالُ لَهُ الرَّيَّانُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ الصَّائِمُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُمْ يُقَالُ أَيْنَ الصَّائِمُونَ فَيَقُومُونَ فَيَدْخُلُونَ مِنْهُ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ آخِرُهُمْ أُغْلِقَ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is a door in Paradise called Ar-Rayyan which is reserved for the fasting people. When the last of them enters, it will be closed."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فِي الْجَنَّةِ بَابٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الرَّيَّانُ أُعِدَّ لِلصَّائِمِينَ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ أُخْرَاهُمْ أُغْلِقَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "(Allah said), 'Every good deed of Adam's son is for him except fasting; it is for Me. and I shall reward (the fasting person) for it.' Verily, the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better to Allah than the smell of musk." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5927)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ وَالصِّيَامُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ»  

"The Prophet said: 'Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, says: Fasting is for me I shall reward for it. The fasting person has two moments of joy: When he breaks his fast and when he meets his Lord. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell that comes from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2213)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ فَهُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ لِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَرِحَ بِفِطْرِهِ وَإِذَا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَرِحَ بِصَوْمِهِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Every good deed that the son of Adam performs will be multiplied ten times up to seven hundred times, except for fasting. It is for Me and I will reward it. He gives up his desires and his food and drink for My sake. The fasting person has two moments of joy: one when he breaks his fast and the other when he meets his Lord. The smell from the mouth of a fasting person is purer to Allah than the scent of musk."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ حَسَنَةٍ يَعْمَلُهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ بِعَشْرِ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا الصَّوْمَ فَهُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ يَدَعُ الطَّعَامَ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَالشَّرَابَ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ فَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يُفْطِرُ وَفَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يَلْقَى رَبَّهُ وَلَخُلُوفِ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ حِينَ يَخْلُفُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ»  

[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic text is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated to us and mentioned some stories, and he said, 'The fast is a shield.'"  

حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ وَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are three whose supplication is not rejected: the fasting person until he breaks his fast, the just ruler, and the supplication of the oppressed."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تُرَدُّ دَعْوَتُهُمُ الصَّائِمُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ وَالْإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ وَدَعْوَةُ الْمَظْلُومِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast, he will have a reward equal to his, without it detracting in any way from the fasting person's reward."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا كُتِبَ لَهُ مِثْلَ أَجْرِهِ لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْءٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon her, so she invited him to eat. He said, "Come and eat." She said, "Indeed, I am fasting." He said, "Verily, when a fasting person is eating in the presence of the angels, they send blessings upon him."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَدَعَتْ لَهُ بِطَعَامٍ فَقَالَ «تَعَالَيْ فَكُلِي» فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي صَائِمَةٌ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الصَّائِمَ إِذَا أُكِلَ عِنْدَهُ صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ formed an army, and I approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for martyrdom for me." He said, "O Allah, protect them and give them booty." So, we set out for battle and achieved victory and collected goods until he mentioned that three times. Then, I approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have approached you three times, asking you to pray for martyrdom for me." He said, "O Allah, protect them and give them booty." We achieved victory and collected goods, O Messenger of Allah. Guide me towards an action that will lead me to Paradise." He said, "Fasting is the best action, as there is no equivalent to it." Abu Umamah was not seen with smoke in his house during the day, unless they had guests. When they saw smoke during the day, they knew that they had guests.  

أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَيْشًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» فَغَزَوْنَا فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا حَتَّى ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ تَتْرَى ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَقُلْتَ «اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ أَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ» قَالَ فَكَانَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ لَا يُرَى فِي بَيْتِهِ الدُّخَانُ نَهَارًا إِلَّا إِذَا نَزَلَ بِهِمْ ضَيْفٌ فَإِذَا رَأَوَا الدُّخَانَ نَهَارًا عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ قَدِ اعْتَرَاهُمْ ضَيْفٌ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, guide me to a deed." He said, "You should observe fasting, as it has no equal."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا عِدْلَ لَهُ»  

The Prophet ﷺ as saying: The two months of 'Id (festival), Ramadan and Dhu al-Hijjah, are not defective. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2323)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «شَهْرَا عِيدٍ لَا يَنْقُصَانِ رَمَضَانُ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever fasts Ramadan and spends its nights in prayer, out of faith and in hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1326)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Whoever fasts Ramadan, knows its limits, and preserves what should be preserved, will have their previous sins forgiven."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَعَرَفَ حُدُودَهُ وَتَحَفَّظَ مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَحَفَّظَ كَفَّرَ مَا قَبْلَهُ»  

'When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained up." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2099)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا كَانَ رَمَضَانُ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَسُلْسِلَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ»  

“When the first night of Ramadan comes, the satans and mischievous jinns are chained up, and the gates of the Fire are closed, and none of its gates are opened. The gates of Paradise are opened and none of its gates are closed. And a caller cries out: ‘O seeker of good, proceed, O seeker of evil, stop.’ And Allah has necks (people) whom He frees (from the Fire), and that happens every day.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1642)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ صُفِّدَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ مَرَدَةُ الْجِنِّ وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ فَلَمْ يُفْتَحْ مِنْهَا بَابٌ وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَمْ يُغْلَقْ مِنْهَا بَابٌ وَمُنَادٍ يُنَادِي يَا بَاغِيَ الْخَيْرِ أَقْبَلْ وَيَا بَاغِيَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ وَلِلَّهِ عُتَقَاءُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَذَلِكَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ»  

[Machine] "When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ entered the last ten nights of Ramadan, he used to wake up his family, tighten his waist belt, and stay up all night in worship."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ الْأَوَاخِرُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ أَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ وَأَحْيَا اللَّيْلَ»  

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when the last ten nights began Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept awake at night (for prayer and devotion), wakened his family, and prepared himself to observe prayer (with more vigour). (Using translation from Muslim 1174)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ أَحْيَا اللَّيْلَ وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ»  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, what if I were to testify that there is no god except Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah, and I were to perform the five Ṣalawāt (obligatory ritual prayers), pay the Zakāh (obligatory charity), fast ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān and stand ˹for night ṣalāh˺ in it, then whom I would be among? He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "From the Truthful ones and the Martyrs."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ شَهِدْتُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَصَلَّيْتُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَأَدَّيْتُ الزَّكَاةَ وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ وَقُمْتُهُ فَمِمَّنْ أَنَا؟ قَالَ «مِنَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: One of you should not say: I fasted the whole of Ramadan, and I prayed during the night in the whole of Ramadan. I do not know whether he disliked the purification; or he (the narrator) said: He must have slept a little and taken rest. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2415)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنِّي صُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ وَقُمْتُهُ» قَالَ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَكَرِهَ التَّزْكِيَةَ أَمْ قَالَ «لَا بُدَّ مِنْ رَقْدَةٍ أَوْ غَفَلَةٍ»  

The Prophet ﷺ was the most generous person, and he used to become more so (generous) particularly in the month of Ramadan because Gabriel used to meet him every night of the month of Ramadan till it elapsed. Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite the Qur'an for him. When Gabriel met him, he used to become more generous than the fast wind in doing good. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4997)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ بِالْخَيْرِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ مَا يَكُونُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ كَانَ يَلْقَاهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى يَنْسَلِخَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنَ فَإِذَا لَقِيَهُ جِبْرِيلُ كَانَ ﷺ أَجْوَدَ بِالْخَيْرِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ»  

" I heard the messenger of Allah say: 'When you see the crescent then fast, and when you see it, then stop fasting, and if it is obscured from you (too cloudy), then work it out (fro the beginning of the month, to complete thirty days)"' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2120)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَصُومُوا وَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَأَفْطِرُوا فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدُرُوا لَهُ»  

: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Fast when you see it and stop fasting when you see it, and if it is obscured from you (too cloudy), then count it as thirty (days).'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2118)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدُرُوا ثَلَاثِينَ»  

"When you see the crescent then fast, and when you crescent then fast, and when you see it, stop fasting. If it is obscured from you (too cloudy), then fast thirty days." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2119)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ فَصُومُوا وَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَأَفْطِرُوا فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَعُدُّوا ثَلَاثِينَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to count the days in Sha'ban in a manner he did not count any other month; then he fasted when he sighted the new moon of Ramadan; but if the weather was cloudy he counted thirty days and then fasted. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2325)  

سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ هِلَالِ شَعْبَانَ مَا لَا يَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ لِرُؤْيَةِ رَمَضَانَ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْهِ عَدَّ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ صَامَ»  

"Do not fast until you see the crescent, and do not stop fasting until you see it, and if it is obscured from you (too cloudy), then work it out." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2121)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «لَا تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوَا الْهِلَالَ وَلَا تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدِرُوا لَهُ»  

"A Bedouin come to the Prophet and said; 'I have sighted the crescent tonight.' He said: 'Do you bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Messenger?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'O Bilal, announce to the people that they should fast tomorrow. "' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2113)   

جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ أَبْصَرْتُ الْهِلَالَ اللَّيْلَةَ فَقَالَ «تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «قُمْ يَا فُلَانُ فَنَادِ فِي النَّاسِ فَلْيَصُومُوا غَدًا» وَأَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى مَرَّةً أُخْرَى وَقَالَ «قُمْ يَا بِلَالُ»  

The people looked for the moon, so I informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I had sighted it. He fasted and commanded the people to fast. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2342)  

«تَرَاءَى النَّاسُ الْهِلَالَ فَرَأَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَامَ وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ بِصِيَامِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "How many days in the month?" meaning Ramadan. We said, "Twenty-two remained, and eight have passed." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Twenty-two have passed, and there remain seven, so seek it tonight." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The month is like this and this," three times, ten, ten, twice, and one, nine.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَمْ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ؟ » يَعْنِي رَمَضَانَ قُلْنَا ثِنْتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ وَبَقِيَ ثَمَانٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَضَتْ ثِنْتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ وَبَقِيَ سَبْعٌ فَاطْلُبُوهَا اللَّيْلَةَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً مَرَّتَيْنِ وَوَاحِدَةٌ تِسْعَةٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The month is thirty days, and if it is obscured to you, then complete the count as thirty."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الشَّهْرُ ثَلَاثُونَ وَالشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَعُدُّوا ثَلَاثِينَ»  

[Machine] He heard Jabir ibn Abdullah say that the Prophet ﷺ separated from his wives for a month. Then the Prophet ﷺ came out on the morning of the twenty-ninth day, and some of the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have reached the twenty-ninth day." He ﷺ said, "The month can be twenty-nine (days)." Then the Prophet ﷺ applauded three times with all his fingers, and the third time with nine of them.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ عَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُ شَهْرًا فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَبَاحَ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا أَصْبَحْنَا مِنْ تِسْعَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ يَكُونُ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ» ثُمَّ صَفَّقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا مَرَّتَيْنِ بِأَصَابِعِ يَدَيْهِ كُلِّهَا وَالثَّالِثُ بِتِسْعٍ مِنْهَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the month consists of twenty-nine."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ يَكُونُ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The month is like this and this," (at the same time he showed the fingers of both his hands thrice) and left out one thumb on the third time. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1908)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا» وَخَنَسَ الْإِبْهَامَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The month is like this, the month is like this," while raising the first three fingers of his hand, and then closing them, and then raising the last three fingers of his hand, except the little finger.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا» يُثَبِّتُ الثَّلَاثَةَ الْأُوَلَ بِكُلِّ أَصَابِعِ يَدَيْهِ وَالثَّلَاثَ الْأَوَاخِرَ بِكُلِّ أَصَابِعِ يَدَيْهِ إِلَّا الْآخِرَ  

[Machine] "That the general public, who witnessed the sighting of the crescent moon in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ , were commanded by the Prophet ﷺ to go out for their celebration from the next day."  

«أَنَّ عُمُومَةً لَهُ شَهِدُوا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى رُؤْيَةِ الْهِلَالِ فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا لِعِيدِهِمْ مِنَ الْغَدِ»  

"the Messenger of Allah said: 'Fast when you see it and stop fasting when you see it, and if it is obscured from you (too cloudy), then count it as thirty (days). "' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2117)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَصُومُوا ثَلَاثِينَ»  

"Do not anticipate the month until you see the crescent before it, or you complete the number of days. Then fast until you see the new moon, or you complete the number of days." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2126)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ حَتَّى تَرَوَا الْهِلَالَ أَوْ تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ ثُمَّ صُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوَا الْهِلَالَ أَوْ تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ»  

"the Messenger of Allah said: 'Fast when you see it and stop fasting when you see it, and if it is obscured from you (too cloudy), then count it as thirty (days). "' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2117)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَعُدُّوا ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ أَفْطِرُوا»  

The Prophet ﷺ as saying: The two months of 'Id (festival), Ramadan and Dhu al-Hijjah, are not defective. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2323)   

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «شَهْرَا عِيدٍ لَا يَنْقُصَانِ رَمَضَانُ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'The month is twenty-nine days."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2134)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ»  

"It was the custom among the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ, that if any of them was fasting and the food was presented but he had slept before eating, he would not eat that night, nor the following day until the evening. Qais bin Sirmah Al-Ansari fasted and came to his wife at the time of Iftar, and said to her: 'No, but I will go and bring something for you.' He worked during the day, so his eyes (sleep) overcame him. Then his wife came, and when she saw him she said: 'You shall be disappointed.' About the middle of the next day he fainted. That was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, so this Ayah was revealed: 'It is made lawful for you to have sexual relations with your women on the night of the fasts. So they were very happy about that. 'And eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears distinct to you from the black thread (of night). (2:187)'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2968)  

كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ صَائِمًا فَحَضَرَهُ الْإِفْطَارُ فَنَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ لَيْلَتَهُ وَلَا يَوْمَهُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَإِنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ صِرْمَةَ كَانَ صَائِمًا فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ الْإِفْطَارُ أَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ طَعَامٌ؟ قَالَتْ لَا وَلَكِنْ أَنْطَلِقُ فَأَطْلُبُ وَكَانَ يَوْمَهُ يَعْمَلُ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ فَجَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ قَالَتْ خَيْبَةً لَكَ فَأَصْبَحَ فَلَمَّا انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ «{أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَكُمْ} » فَفَرِحُوا بِهَا فَرَحًا شَدِيدًا {وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ}

كَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ صَائِمًا فَحَضَرَ الْإِفْطَارُ فَنَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ لَيْلَتَهُ وَلَا يَوْمَهُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَإِنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ صِرْمَةَ كَانَ صَائِمًا فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ الْإِفْطَارُ أَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ أَعِنْدَكِ طَعَامٌ؟ قَالَتْ لَا وَلَكِنْ أَطْلُبُ فَطَلَبَتْ لَهُ وَكَانَ يَوْمَهُ يَعْمَلُ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ وَجَاءَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فَقَالَتْ خَيْبَةً لَكَ فَأَصْبَحَ فَلَمَّا انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ غَشِيَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ «{أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ} » فَفَرِحُوا بِهَا فَرَحًا شَدِيدًا فَقَالَ {وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ}  

"When 'Until the white (light) thread of dawn appears distinct to you from the black thread (of night)' was revealed, the Prophet ﷺ said to me: 'That only refers to the whiteness of the day from the blackness of the night.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2970)   

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ} قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ بَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ وَسَوَادُ اللَّيْلِ»  

When the verse "Until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread" was revealed, I took a white rope and a black rope, and placed them beneath my pillow ; and then I looked at them, byt they were not clear to me. So I mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He laughed and said: Your pillow is so broad and lengthy ; that is (i.e. means) night and day. The version of the narrator 'Uthman has: That is the blackness of night and whiteness of day. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2349)   

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ} مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ أَخَذْتُ عِقَالًا أَبْيَضَ وَعِقَالًا أَسْوَدَ فَوَضَعْتُهَا تَحْتَ وِسَادَتِي فَنَظَرْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَبَيَّنْ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ وِسَادَكَ إِذًا لَعَرِيضٌ طَوِيلٌ إِنَّمَا هُوَ اللَّيْلُ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said to a man: 'Come to the blessed breakfast, - meaning Sahur." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2165)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هُوَ الْغَدَاءُ الْمُبَارَكُ» يَعْنِي السَّحُورَ  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah inviting people to have Sahur in Ramadan. He said: 'Come to the blessed breakfast." (Hasan) Chatper 26. Calling Sahur "Ghada" (Breakfast) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2163)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَدْعُو إِلَى السَّحُورِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «هَلُمُّوا إِلَى الْغَدَاءِ الْمُبَارَكِ»
