"أظلَكُمْ شَهْرُكُمْ، هذا بمحْلُوفِ رسولِ الله، ما مرَّ على المسلمينَ شهْرٌ هو خير لهمْ مِنْهُ، ولا يأتِي على المنافقين شَهْرٌ شرٌّ لهم مِنْه، إنَّ الله يكتبُ أَجْرَه وثَوابَه مِنْ قبل أَنْ يدْخُلَ ويكْتُبُ وزرَهُ وشقَاءَه قبْلَ أنْ يدْخُلَ، وذلك أنَّ المؤْمِنَ يُعِدُّ فيه النَّفقةَ للقوَّةِ في الِعبَادَةِ، ويُعِدُّ فيه المنافِقُ اغتيابَ المؤمنِيِنَ واتّباعَ عوْراتِهم؛ فَهُوَ غُنْمٌ للمؤْمِنِ ومَعْصِيَةٌ على الفاجرِ".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "This month of yours, Ramadan, is a month in which the reward for good deeds is multiplied, a month that has never occurred for the believers better than it, nor for the hypocrites worse than it. Allah writes down the reward for the fasting person and multiplies it many times before they receive it, and writes down the reward for the voluntary prayers and other good deeds in the same way. As for the hypocrite, he neither considers the month as an opportunity for worship nor does he strive to escape from the sins and shortcomings. He is like a lost fortune for the believer who seizes it."  

أحمد:٨٨٧٠حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُبَارَكٍ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِيعَمْرُو بْنُ تَمِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَظَلَّكُمْ شَهْرُكُمْ هَذَا بِمَحْلُوفِ رَسُولِ اللهِ مَا مَرَّ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَهْرٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ وَلَا بِالْمُنَافِقِينَ شَهْرٌ شَرٌّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيَكْتُبُ أَجْرَهُ وَنَوَافِلَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ وَيَكْتُبُ إِصْرَهُ وَشَقَاءَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُعِدُّ فِيهِ الْقُوَّةَ لِلْعِبَادَةِ مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ وَيُعِدُّ الْمُنَافِقُ اتِّبَاعَ غَفْلَةِ النَّاسِ وَاتِّبَاعَ عَوْرَاتِهِمْ فَهُوَ غُنْمٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ يَغْتَنِمُهُ الْفَاجِرُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Your month, this month of yours, has been shaded by the mercy of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . There has never been a month that has been better for the Muslims than this month, and there has never been a month that has been worse for the hypocrites than this month. Indeed, Allah writes down the rewards and virtues of the believers, as well as their burdens and hardships, before they enter it. This is because the believer prepares in it the strength for spending in worship, while the hypocrite prepares in it seeking the faults and weaknesses of the believers. Therefore, it becomes a gain for the believer and the sinner seizes it."  

أحمد:١٠٧٨٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ تَمِيمٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ
