"Urwah bin Az-Zubair told me that 'Aishah told him: 'The Messenger of Allah went out in the middle of the night to pray in the Masjid, and he led the people in prayer; and he quoted the same Hadith, in which she said: 'He used to encourage the people to pray Qiyam n Ramadan, without insisting on that.' He said: 'Whoever spends the night of Lailat Al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, he will be forgiven his previous sins.' He said: 'And the Messenger of Allah passed away when this was the state of affairs."" ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2193)

Abu Abdur Rahman said, "This is incorrect, and the correct wording is what we mentioned previously." Ishaaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, who said Narrated to us An-Nadr ibn Shumeil, who said Narrated to us Al-Qasim ibn Al-Fadl, who said Narrated to us An-Nadr ibn Shayban, from Abu Salamah, who mentioned something similar and said, "Whoever fasts it and stands in prayer during it out of faith and seeking reward."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ رَمَضَانَ فَفَضَّلَهُ عَلَى الشُّهُورِ وَقَالَ «مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا غَلَطٌ وَالصَّوَابُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ ذِكْرُنَا لَهُ 2530 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُميلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ وَقَالَ «مَنْ صَامَهُ وَقَامَهُ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا»  

"I said to Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman: 'Tell me of something that you heard from your father, that he heard from the Messenger of Allah, with no one in between your father and Messenge of Allah concerning the month of Ramadan. He said: 'Yes; my father said: The Messenger of Allah said: Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, enjoined the fast of Ramadan upon you, and I have made it Sunnah for you to spend its nights in prayer. Whoever fasts it and spends its nights in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, he will emerge from his sins as on the day his mother bore him."' (Daif) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2210)  

حَدِّثْنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ أبِيكَ سَمِعَهُ أَبُوكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ أَبِيكَ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَدٌ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ فَرَضَ صِيَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَسَنَنْتُ لَكُمْ قِيَامَهُ فَمَنْ صَامَهُ وَقَامَهُ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ»  

"Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, says: 'Fasting is for me and 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 my soul, the smell that comes from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2211)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ الصَّوْمُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ حِينَ يُفْطِرُ وَحِينَ يَلْقَى رَبَّهُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ

"(Allah says) fasting is for me and I shall reward for it. The fasting person rejoices twice: when he breaks his fast and the day when he meets his Lord. And the smell that come from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2214)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ الصِّيَامُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالصَّائِمُ يُفْرَحُ مَرَّتَيْنِ عِنْدَ فِطْرِهِ وَيَوْمَ يَلْقَى اللهَ وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

"There is no good deed that the son of Adam does, but between ten and seven hundred Hasanahs will be recorded for him. Allah, the mighty and sublime, said: 'Except fasing, for it is for me and I shall reward for it. He gives up his desires and his food for my sake. Fasting is a shield, and the fasting person has two moments of joy. One when he breaks his fast and another when he meets his Lord. And the smell that comes from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2215)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ يَعْمَلُهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ قَالَ اللهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ فَإِنَّهُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ يَدَعُ شَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ فَرْحَةٌ عِنْدَ فِطْرِهِ وَفَرْحَةٌ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ رَبِّهِ وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah said, 'All the deeds of Adam's sons (people) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.'

"Fasting is a shield or protection from the fire and from committing sins. If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual relation with his wife and quarreling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say: I am fasting."

"By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the unpleasant smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk."

"There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord; then he will be pleased because of his fasting." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1904)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ صِيَامِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلَا يَرْفُثْ وَلَا يَصْخَبْ فَإِنْ شَاتَمَهُ أَحَدٌ أَوْ قَاتَلَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ لِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ يَفْرَحُهُمَا إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَرِحَ بِفِطْرِهِ وَإِذَا لَقِيَ رَبَّهُ فَرِحَ بِصَوْمِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah said, 'Every deed of the son of Adam is for himself, except for fasting. It is for Me and I will reward it. Fasting is a shield, so if one of you is fasting, let him not indulge in obscene language or raise his voice in anger. If someone insults him or fights with him, let him say, 'I am fasting.' By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell coming from the mouth of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk.' " Abu 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Mubarak said, "Indeed, the status of fasting with us is greater and higher than that of Hajj. The hadith of Hajj is more reliable to us. In the time of Ibn al-Mubarak, we do not know of a person more reliable than him or higher in rank than him in every commendable trait. However, mistakes are inevitable." 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi, who was trying to absolve himself from error, said, "Who does not make mistakes? Correctness is like a speck of dust in the wind, while error is thick like molasses." This hadith has also been narrated by Abu Huraira and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ صَوْمِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلَا يَرْفُثْ وَلَا يَصْخَبْ فَإِنْ شَاتَمَهُ أَحَدٌ أَوْ قَاتَلَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي امْرُؤٌ صَائِمٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَيِّ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَجَلُّ وَأَعْلَى عِنْدَنَا مِنْ حَجَّاجٍ وَحَدِيثُ حَجَّاجٍ أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ عِنْدَنَا وَلَا نَعْلَمُ فِي عَصْرِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ رَجُلًا أَجَلَّ مِنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَلَا أَعْلَى مِنْهُ وَلَا أَجْمَعَ لِكُلِّ خَصْلَةٍ مَحْمُودَةٍ مِنْهُ وَلَكِنْ لَا بُدَّ مِنَ الْغَلَطِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ الَّذِي يُبَرِّئُ نَفْسَهُ مِنَ الْخَطَأِ مَجْنُونٌ وَمَنْ لَا يَغْلَطُ؟ وَالصَّوَابُ ذَكْوَانُ الزَّيَّاتُ لَا عَطَاءٌ الزَّيَّاتُ وَقَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ  

Allah, the Majestic and the Exalted, said: Every act of the son of Adam is for him except fasting. It is done for My sake, and I will give a reward for it. By Allah in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the breath of the observer of fast is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk. (Using translation from Muslim 1151b)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامُ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلْفَةُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said that Allah said: "Every good deed that the son of Adam performs, he will receive ten times its reward, except for fasting, which is for Me and I will reward it accordingly."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ كُلُّ حَسَنَةٍ يَعْمَلُهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ فَلَهُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ  

"Raja bin Haiwah narrated that Abu Umamah said: 'I came to the Messenger of Allah and said: Tel l me of something that I may take (learn) from you. He said: "Take to fasting, for there is nothing like it."' ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2220)  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ مُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ آخُذُهُ عَنْكَ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ»  

"Abu Umamah Al-Bahili narrated to me: 'I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me of something by which Allah will benefic me. He said: Take to fasting, for there is nothing like it."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2221)  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ يَنْفَعُنِي اللهُ بِهِ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصِّيَامِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ»  

"Which deed is best?" he said: "Take to fasting, for there is nothing equal to it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2222)  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا عِدْلَ لَهُ»  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, tell me of an action (I should do).' He said: 'Take to fasting, for there is nothing equal to it."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2223)   

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا عِدْلَ لَهُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا عِدْلَ لَهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا عِدْلَ لَهُ»

'Uthman bin Abi Al-As called for milk to be given to him (Mutarrif) to drink. Mutarrif said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Fasting is a shield like the shield of any one of you in battle."' Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Fasting is a shield."' (Sahih (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2230)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ كَجُنَّةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْقِتَالِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Fasting is a shield against the Fire, just as a shield protects one from fighting." Zakariya bin Yahya informed me, he said: Abu Mus'ab narrated to us from Al-Mughirah, from Abdullah bin Sa'id bin Abi Hind, from Muhammad bin Ishaq, from Sa'id bin Abi Hind, he said: Mutarrif entered upon Uthman in a sending manner.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الصَّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ كَجُنَّةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْقِتَالِ» 2553 أَخْبَرَنِي زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُصْعَبٍ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ مُطَرِّفٌ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ نَحْوَهُ مُرْسَلٌ

"For those who fast there is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Rayyan, through which no one but they will enter. When the last of them has entered it, it will be closed. Whoever enters through it will drink, and whoever drinks will never thirst again." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2236)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلّى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ «لِلصَّائِمِينَ بَابٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الرَّيَّانُ لَا يَدْخُلُ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُمْ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ آخِرُهُمْ أُغْلِقَ مَنْ دَخَلَ فِيهِ شَرِبَ وَمَنْ شَرِبَ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَدًا»  

in Paradise there is a gate called Ar'Rayyan, it will be said on the Day of Resurrection: "Where are those who used to fast? Would you like to enter through Ar-Rayyan?" whoever enters through it will never thirst again. Then when they have entered it will be closed behind them, and no one but they will enter through it. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2237)  

يُقَالُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَيْنَ الصَّائِمُونَ؟ هَلْ لَكُمْ إِلَى الرَّيَّانِ؟ مَنْ دَخَلَهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَدًا فَإِذَا دَخَلُوا أُغْلِقَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُمْ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever gives two kinds (of things or property) in charity for Allah's Cause, will be called from the gates of Paradise and will be addressed, 'O slaves of Allah! Here is prosperity.' So, whoever was amongst the people who used to offer their prayers, will be called from the gate of the prayer; and whoever was amongst the people who used to participate in Jihad, will be called from the gate of Jihad; and whoever was amongst those who used to observe fasts, will be called from the gate of Ar-Raiyan; whoever was amongst those who used to give in charity, will be called from the gate of charity." Abu Bakr said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! No distress or need will befall him who will be called from those gates. Will there be any one who will be called from all these gates?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes, and I hope you will be one of them." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1897)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ نُودِيَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ هَذَا خَيْرٌ 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 أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا عَلَى أَحَدٍ يُدْعَى مِنْ تِلْكِ الْأَبْوَابِ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ؟ فَهَلْ يُدْعَى أَحَدٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَبْوَابِ كُلِّهَا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَعَمْ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ»  

"We went out with the Messenger of Allah and we were young men who could not afford anything. He said: 'O young men, you should get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and protecting one's chastity. Whoever cannot afford it should fast, for it will be a restraint Wija, for him."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2239)  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ شَبَابٌ لَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْبَاءَةِ فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ»  

Ibn Masud met 'Uthman at 'Arafat and spoke to him in private. Uthman said to Ibn Masud: "Are you interested in a girl so that I marry her to you?" 'Abdullah called 'Alqamah and he told him that the Prophet said: 'Whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do so. Whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for fasting will be a restraint (Wija) for him."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2240)  

لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ هَلْ لَكَ فِي فَتَاةٍ أُزَوِّجُكَهَا فَدَعَا عَبْدُ اللهِ عَلْقَمَةَ فَحَدَّثَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَلْيَصُمْ فَإِنَّ الصَّوْمَ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do so, and whoever cannot afford it should fast, for it will be a restraint (Wija) for him."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2241)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ»  

"We entered upon 'Abdullah along with 'Alqamah, Al-Aswad and a group (of others). He told us a Hadith which he only narrated to the people because of me, as I was the youngest of them. The Messenger of Allah said: 'O young men, whoever among you can afford to get married let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity."' (One of the narrators) 'Ali said: "Al-Amash was asked about the narrated of Ibrahim, so he (the questioner) said: 'Form Ibrahim, from 'Alqamah, from 'Abdullah; similarly?. Which he (Al-'Amash) replied: 'Yes. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2242)  

فَحَدَّثَنَا بِحَدِيثٍ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ حَدَّثَ بِهِ الْقَوْمَ إِلَّا مِنْ أَجْلِي لِأَنِّي كُنْتُ أَحْدَثَهُمْ سِنًّا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ» قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَسُئِلَ الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ حَدِيثِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

"I was with Ibn Masud when he was with "uthman, and 'Uthman said: 'Whoever among you has the means, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity. And whoever cannot, then fasting will be a shield for him." (Sahih) Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: This (narrator) is Abu Mashar, his name is Ziyad bin Kulaib, and he is trustworthy. He was a companion of Ibrahim. Mansur, Mughirah, and Shubah reported from him. (As for) Abu Mashar AL-Madini; his name is Najih and he is weak, and with his weakness, he also became confused, he narrated Munkar narrations, among them: Muhammad bin 'Amr from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet, who said: "What is between the east and the west is the Qiblah. And among them: Hisham bin 'Urwah, from his father, from 'Aishah, from the Prophet: "Do not cut meat with the knife, rather gnaw at it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2243)  

عُثْمَانُ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى يَعْنِي فِتْيةٍ فَقَالَ «مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ ذَا طَوْلٍ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلطَّرْفِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ وَمَنْ لَا فَالصَّوْمُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ هَذَا اسْمُهُ زِيَادُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ ثِقَةٌ وَهُوَ صَاحِبُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَوَى عَنْهُ مَنْصُورٌ وَمُغِيرَةُ وَشُعْبَةُ وَأَبُو مَعْشَرٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ اسْمُهُ نَجِيحٌ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَمَعَ ضَعْفِهِ أَيْضًا كَانَ قَدِ اخْتَلَطَ وعِنْدَهُ أَحَادِيثُ مَنَاكِيرُ مِنْهَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةٌ» ومنها هشام بن عروة عن أبيه عن عائشة عن النبي ﷺ لا تقطعوا اللحم بالسكين ولكن انهسوه نهسا وغير ذلك  

“Whoever fasts one day for the sake of Allah, Allah will move his face away from the Fire a distance of seventy autumns (years).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1718)   

قَالَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ زَحْزَحَ اللهُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ بِذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا»  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Indeed, anyone who fasts for one day for Allah's Pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2840)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بَاعَدَ اللهُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ بِذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا»
