“I met Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman and said: ‘Tell me a Hadith that you heard from your father, in which mention is made of the month of Ramadan.’ He said: ‘Yes, my father narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the month of Ramadan and said: “A month which Allah has enjoined upon you to fast, and in which I have established Qiyam (prayers at night) as Sunnah for you. So whoever fasts it and spends its nights in prayer out of faith and in hope of reward; he will emerge from his sins as on the day his mother bore him.”  

حَدِّثْنِي بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ أَبِيكَ يَذْكُرُهُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ شَهْرٌ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامَهُ وَسَنَنْتُ لَكُمْ قِيَامَهُ فَمَنْ صَامَهُ وَقَامَهُ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ  

"إِنَّ الله تَعَالى فَرَضَ صِيَام رَمَضانَ، وَسننتُ لَكُمْ قِيامه فَمَن صَامه وَقَامَه إِيمانًا واحْتسَابًا خَرَجَ مِن ذُنوبه كيوْم وَلدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ".  

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ: أنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ ذَكَرَ رَمَضَانَ فَفَضَّلَهُ عَلَى الشُّهُورِ بِمَا فَضَّلَهُ الله فَقَالَ: إِنَّ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ كتَبَ الله صِيَامَهُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِين فَرْضًا، وَسَنَنْتُ قِيَامَهُ، فَمَنْ صَامَهُ إِيَمانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كيَومَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ".
