“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  

[Machine] Did your father hear it from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ? He replied, "Ramadan has come." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, Ramadan is a month that Allah has enjoined fasting upon. And I have established the practice of night prayers (qiyaam) during it for the Muslims. So whoever fasts it out of faith and seeking reward, his sins will be forgiven as if he were a newborn on the day his mother gave birth to him."  

عَنْ أَبِيكَ سَمِعَهُ أَبُوكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ أَقْبَلَ رَمَضَانُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ رَمَضَانَ شَهْرٌ افْتَرَضَ اللهُ ﷻ صِيَامَهُ وَإِنِّي سَنَنْتُ لِلمُسْلِمِينَ قِيَامَهُ فَمَنْ صَامَهُ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا خَرَجَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ  

"شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ شَهْرٌ كَتَبَ الله عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامَهُ، وَسَنَنْتُ لَكُمْ قِيَامَهُ، فَمَنْ صَامَهُ وَقَامَهُ إِيمَانا وَاحْتِسَابًا خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ".
