The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone breaks his fast one day in Ramadan without a concession granted to him by Allah, a perpetual fast will not atone for it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2396)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَفْطَرَ يَوْمًا مِنْ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِ رُخْصَةٍ رَخَّصَهَا اللهُ لَهُ لَمْ يَقْضِ عَنْهُ وَإِنْ صَامَ الدَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ»

"مَنْ أَفْطَرَ يَوْمًا مِنْ رَمَضَانَ في غيرِ رُخْصَةٍ رَخَّصَهَا اللهُ لَهُ لَمْ يَقْضِ عَنْهُ صِيَامُ الدَّهْرِ كُلِّه وَإِن صَامَهُ".

If a man falls ill during Ramadan and he dies, while he could not keep the fast, food will be provided (for the poor men) on his behalf ; there is no atonement (for his fasts) due from him. If there is some vow which he could not fulfill, his heir must atone on his behalf.

إِذَا مَرِضَ الرَّجُلُ فِي رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَصُمْ أُطْعِمَ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ نَذْرٌ قَضَى عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ

I said: Messenger of Allah. I am a master of mounts and I use them ! I myself travel on them and I rent them. This month, that is, Ramadan, happend to come to me (while I am on a journey), and I find myself strong enough (to fast) as I am young, and I find that it is easier for me to fast than to postpone it, and i becomes debt due from me. Does it bring me more reward, Messenger of Allah, if I fast, or if I break ? He replied: Whichever you like, Hamzah.

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي صَاحِبُ ظَهْرٍ أُعَالِجُهُ أُسَافِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَكْرِيهِ وَإِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا صَادَفَنِي هَذَا الشَّهْرُ يَعْنِي رَمَضَانَ وَأَنَا أَجِدُ الْقُوَّةَ وَأَنَا شَابٌّ وَأَجِدُ بِأَنْ أَصُومَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَهْوَنَ عَلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُؤَخِّرَهُ فَيَكُونَ دَيْنًا أَفَأَصُومُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْظَمُ لأَجْرِي أَوْ أُفْطِرُ قَالَ أَىُّ ذَلِكَ شِئْتَ يَا حَمْزَةُ

I came to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri while he was giving his legal opinion to the people who bent down on him. So I waited to see hi when he was alone. When he became alone, I asked him about keeping fast while travelling. He said: we went out along with the Prophet ﷺ in Ramadan in the year of conquest of Mecca. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted and we fasted until he reached a certain stage. He said: You have come near your enemy; the breaking of fast will bring you more strength. Then morning came when some of us fasted and other broke their fast. He (Abu Sa'id al-Khudri) said: We then proceeded and alighted at a stage. He said: You are going to attack your enemy tomorrow morning ; breaking the fast will bring you more strength ; so break your fast (i.e. do not keep fast). This resolution (of breaking the fast) took place (due to the announcement) from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Sa'id said: Then I found myself keeping fast along with the Prophet ﷺ before and after that.

أَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ وَهُوَ يُفْتِي النَّاسَ وَهُمْ مُكِبُّونَ عَلَيْهِ فَانْتَظَرْتُ خَلْوَتَهُ فَلَمَّا خَلاَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ وَنَصُومُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ مَنْزِلاً مِنَ الْمَنَازِلِ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ دَنَوْتُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْنَا مِنَّا الصَّائِمُ وَمِنَّا الْمُفْطِرُ قَالَ ثُمَّ سِرْنَا فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلاً فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تُصَبِّحُونَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ فَأَفْطِرُوا فَكَانَتْ عَزِيمَةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ثُمَّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَصُومُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If anyone has a riding beast which carries him to where he can get sufficient food, he should keep the fast of Ramadan wherever he is when it comes.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَمُولَةٌ تَأْوِي إِلَى شِبَعٍ فَلْيَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ حَيْثُ أَدْرَكَهُ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If anyone has a riding beast which carries him to where he can get sufficient food, he should keep the fast of Ramadan wherever he is when it comes. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2410)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَمُولَةٌ تَأْوِي إِلَى شِبَعٍ فَلْيَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ حَيْثُ أَدْرَكَهُ

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say: "Whoever experiences Ramadan and has the ability should retreat to tranquility and observe fasting in Ramadan wherever he may be."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ رَمَضَانُ لَهُ حُمُولَةٌ يَأْوِي إِلَى شِبَعٍ فَلْيَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ حَيْثُ أَدْرَكَهُ

"مَنْ كَانَ في سَفَرٍ عَلَى حَمُولَةِ يَأوى إِلَى شِبَعٍ فَلْيَصُمْ حيثُ أَدْرَكَهُ رَمَضَانُ".

"مَنْ كَانَتْ لَه حَمولَة تَأوى إِلى شِبَعٍ وَرِيٍّ فَلْيَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ حَيثُ أَدْرَكَهُ".

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone is on a journey and Ramadan comes... He then narrated the rest of the tradition to the same effect.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ رَمَضَانُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ

Ja'far ibn Jubayr said: I accompanied AbuBusrah al-Ghifari, a Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, in a boat proceeding from al-Fustat (Cairo) during Ramadan. He was lifted (to the boat), then his meal was brought to him. The narrator Ja'far said in his version: He did not go beyond the houses (of the city) but he called for the dining sheet. He said (to me): Come near. I said: Do you not see the houses? AbuBusrah said: Do you detest the sunnah (practice) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? The narrator Ja'far said in his version: He then ate (it).

كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ صَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفِينَةٍ مِنَ الْفُسْطَاطِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَرُفِعَ ثُمَّ قُرِّبَ غَدَاهُ قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَلَمْ يُجَاوِزِ الْبُيُوتَ حَتَّى دَعَا بِالسُّفْرَةِ قَالَ اقْتَرِبْ قُلْتُ أَلَسْتَ تَرَى الْبُيُوتَ قَالَ أَبُو بَصْرَةَ أَتَرْغَبُ عَنْ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَأَكَلَ

[Machine] I traveled with Abu Basrah al-Ghifari, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , on a ship from Fusṭāṭ during Ramadan. Then he approached his lunch, and after that, he said, "Come closer." I asked him, "Aren't you among the houses?" Abu Basrah said, "Are you deviating from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?"

رَكِبْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفِينَةٍ مِنَ الْفُسْطَاطِ فِي رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ قَرَّبَ غَدَاءَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اقْتَرِبْ فَقُلْتُ أَلَسْتَ بَيْنَ الْبُيُوتِ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصْرَةَ أَرَغِبْتَ عَنْ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟

[Machine] "I traveled with my father Abu Basrah al-Ghifari on a ship from Fustat during Ramadan. He paid and brought his lunch closer, then he said, 'Come closer.' I said, 'Don't you see the houses?' Abu Basrah replied, 'Did you deviate from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?'"

رَكِبْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ سَفِينَةً مِنَ الْفُسْطَاطِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَدَفَعَ فَقَرَّبَ غَدَاءَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اقْتَرِبْ فَقُلْتُ أَلَسْتَ تَرَى الْبُيُوتَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصْرَةَ «أَرَغِبْتَ عَنْ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟»

I asked or the Prophet ﷺ was asked about fasting continuously for a lifetime, and he said: “Indeed, your family has a right over you. Fast Ramadan and what follows it, and every Wednesday and Thursday; then, if you do that, you will have fasted for a lifetime.”

سَأَلْتُ أَوْ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ لِأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، صُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ، وَكُلَّ أَرْبِعَاءَ وَخَمِيسٍ، فَإِذَا أَنْتَ قَدْ صُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ».

"I asked - or; the Prophet was asked - about fasting daily. So he said: 'Your family has a right over you.' Then he said: 'Fast Ramadan and that which is after it, and every Wednesday and Thursday. If you do that, then you will have fasted daily, as well as broken (the fast).'"

سَأَلْتُ أَوْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا صُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَكُلَّ أَرْبِعَاءٍ وَخَمِيسٍ فَإِذًا أَنْتَ قَدْ صُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ وَأَفْطَرْتَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

"إِنَّ لأهْلكَ عليكَ حَقًا، صُمْ رمَضانَ والَّذى يليه، وكُلَّ أرْبعَاءَ وخَمِيسٍ، فَإِذا أنْتَ قَدْ صُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ وأَفْطَرْتَ".

"أَمَا لأهْلِكَ حَقٌّ؟ صُمْ رمضانَ والذي يَلِيه، وَكلَّ يَوْمٍ أَرْبِعَاءَ وخميسٍ، فإِذا أنْتَ قَدْ صُمْتَ الدهرَ".

It is not allowable for a woman to keep (voluntary) fast when her husband is present without his permission, and she may not allow anyone to enter his house without his permission.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَصُومُ الْمَرْأَةُ وَبَعْلُهَا شَاهِدٌ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَلاَ تَأْذَنُ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ شَاهِدٌ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "A woman should not observe fasting for one day without the permission of her husband, except during Ramadan."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَصُومُ الْمَرْأَةُ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا وَزَوْجُهَا شَاهِدٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "A woman should not fast voluntarily for a day except with the permission of her husband."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَصُومَنَّ امْرَأَةٌ يَوْمًا سِوَى شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَزَوْجُهَا شَاهِدٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ»

"لَا تَصُم المَرْأةُ وَبَعْلُها شَاهِدٌ إلا بِإِذْنِهِ غَيرَ رَمَضَانَ، ولَا تَأذَنْ فِي بَيتِهِ وهُو شَاهِدٌ إلا بِإِذْنِهِ، وَمَا أَنْفَقَتْ مِنْ كَسْبِهِ مِنْ غَيرِ أمْرِهِ فَإنَّ نِصْفَ أَجْرِهِ لَهُ".

The Prophet ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. One year he did not observe i'tikaf. When the next year came, he observed i'tikaf for twenty nights (i.e. days).

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ عَامًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً

The Prophet ﷺ used to spend the last ten days of Ramadan in I’tikaf. One year he was traveling, so the following year he spent twenty days in I’tikaf.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ وَاعْتَكَفَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً»

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe I'tikaf during the last ten nights of Ramadan when he was residing in Mecca. But when he traveled, he would observe I'tikaf for twenty nights in the following year."

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ مُقِيمًا يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَإِذَا سَافَرَ اعْتَكَفَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ عِشْرِينَ»

Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. (Using translation from Muslim 1171a)

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ وَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe Itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan when he was staying in one place. However, when he traveled, he would observe Itikaf for twenty days in the following year.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ مُقِيمًا يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَإِذَا سَافَرَ اعْتَكَفَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ عِشْرِينَ

The Prophet ﷺ used to spend the last ten days of Ramadan in I’tikaf. One year he was traveling, so the following year he spent twenty days in I’tikaf. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1770)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ قَابِلٍ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

"عَنْ أُبىٍّ قَالَ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَسَافَرَ عَامًا فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ قَابِلٍ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا".

The messenger of Marwan whom he sent to Umm Ma'qil reported to me. She said: AbuMa'qil accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during hajj. When he came (to her) she said: You know that hajj is incumbent on me. They walked until they visited him (i.e. the Prophet) and she asked (him): Messenger of Allah, hajj is due from me, and AbuMa'qil has a camel. AbuMa'qil said: She spoke the truth, I have dedicated it to the cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give it to her, that is in the cause of Allah. So he gave the camel to her. She then said: Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who has become aged and ill. Is there any action which would be sufficient for me as my hajj? He replied: umrah performed during Ramadan is sufficient as hajj.

أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ مَرْوَانَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُمِّ مَعْقِلٍ قَالَتْ كَانَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ حَاجًّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ مَعْقِلٍ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَلَىَّ حَجَّةً فَانْطَلَقَا يَمْشِيَانِ حَتَّى دَخَلاَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَلَىَّ حَجَّةً وَإِنَّ لأَبِي مَعْقِلٍ بَكْرًا قَالَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ صَدَقَتْ جَعَلْتُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْطِهَا فَلْتَحُجَّ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَعْطَاهَا الْبَكْرَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَسَقِمْتُ فَهَلْ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يُجْزِئُ عَنِّي مِنْ حَجَّتِي قَالَ عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ تُجْزِئُ حَجَّةً

[Machine] Marwan's messenger informed me that he was sent to Umm Maqil. He said that Abu Maqil came with the Prophet ﷺ as a pilgrim. When Abu Maqil arrived, Umm Maqil said, "You know that I have a Hajj obligation and you have a young camel, so give it to me so that I can perform Hajj on it." He said to her, "You know that I have dedicated it for the sake of Allah." She said, "Then give me the straw of your date-palm trees." He said, "You know that it is the provision for my family." She said, "But I talk to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he speaks to me." They continued walking until they entered upon him (the Prophet). She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a Hajj obligation and my husband has a young camel." Abu Maqil said, "You have spoken the truth; I have devoted it to the sake of Allah." The Prophet said, "Give it to her and let her perform Hajj on it, for it is dedicated to the sake of Allah." When he gave her the young camel, she said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am an old woman and I am sick. Is there any alternative act that can compensate for my Hajj obligation?" He said, "Perform `Umrah in Ramadan, for it will compensate for your Hajj obligation."

أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ مَرْوَانَ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَى أُمِّ مَعْقِلٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ جَاءَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَاجًّا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ مَعْقِلٍ إِنَّكَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَلَيَّ حَجَّةً وَأَنَّ عِنْدَكَ بَكْرًا فَأَعْطِنِي فَلْأَحُجَّ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّكِ قَدْ عَلِمْتِ أَنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَأَعْطِنِي صِرَامَ نَخْلِكَ قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتِ أَنَّهُ قُوتُ أَهْلِي قَالَتْ فَإِنِّي مُكَلِّمَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَذَاكِرَتُهُ لَهُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَا يَمْشِيَانِ حَتَّى دَخَلَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ حَجَّةً وَإِنَّ لِأَبِي مَعْقِلٍ بَكْرًا قَالَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ صَدَقَتْ جَعَلْتُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ أَعْطِهَا فَلْتَحُجَّ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَعْطَاهَا الْبَكْرَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَسَقِمْتُ فَهَلْمِنْ عَمَلٍ يُجْزِئُ عَنِّي مِنْ حَجَّتِي؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ تُجْزِئُ لِحَجَّتِكِ

[Machine] His mother Zainab went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Ma'qil promised me that he would not perform Hajj without me, so he performed Hajj on his camel and I was unable to bear it. I asked him for a young she-camel, but he said it was the provision for his children. I asked him for his older she-camel, but he said it was for the sake of Allah and he would not give it to me. Abu Ma'qil, what do you say, O mother of Ma'qil?" She said, "You have spoken the truth." He said, "Give her your young camel, for indeed, Hajj is the path of Allah." So he gave her his young camel. She said, "I am a woman who is sick and old, and I fear that I will not be able to perform Hajj before I die. Is there anything that can compensate for the Hajj?" He said, "Yes, performing Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj." So she performed Umrah in Ramadan.

أَنَّ أُمَّهُ زَيْنَبَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا مَعْقِلٍ كَانَ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ لَا يَحُجَّ إِلَّا وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَحَجَّ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَلَمْ أُطِقْ فَسَأَلْتُهُ جِدَادَ نَخْلِهِ فَقَالَ هُوَ قُوتُ عِيَالِي وَسَأَلْتُهُ بِكْرًا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ هُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ لَسْتُ أُعْطِيكِهِ فَقَالَ «أَبَا مَعْقِلٍ مَا تَقُولُ أُمُّ مَعْقِلٍ؟» فَقَالَ صَدَقَتْ قَالَ «أَعْطِهَا بِكْرَكَ فَإِنَّ الْحَجَّ سَبِيلُ اللهِ» فَأَعْطَاهَا بِكْرَهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ سَقِمْتُ وَكَبُرْتُ وَأَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أُدْرِكَ الْحَجَّ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ فَهَلْ شَيْءٌ يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْحَجِّ؟ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً» فَاعْتَمَرَتْ فِي رَمَضَانَ

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Farewell Pilgrimage, and we had a camel, AbuMa'qil dedicated it to the cause of Allah. Then we suffered from a disease, and AbuMa'qil died. The Prophet ﷺ went out (for hajj). When he finished the hajj, I came to him. He said (to me): Umm Ma'qil, what prevented you from coming out for hajj along with us? She said: We resolved (to do so), but AbuMa'qil died. We had a camel on which we could perform hajj, but AbuMa'qil had bequeathed it to the cause of Allah. He said: Why did you not go out (for hajj) upon it, for hajj is in the cause of Allah? If you miss this hajj along with us, perform umrah during Ramadan, for it is like hajj. She used to say: hajj is hajj, and umrah is umrah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said it to me: I do not know whether it was peculiar to me.

لَمَّا حَجَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ وَكَانَ لَنَا جَمَلٌ فَجَعَلَهُ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَصَابَنَا مَرَضٌ وَهَلَكَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ وَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ حَجِّهِ جِئْتُهُ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ مَعْقِلٍ مَا مَنَعَكِ أَنْ تَخْرُجِي مَعَنَا قَالَتْ لَقَدْ تَهَيَّأْنَا فَهَلَكَ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ وَكَانَ لَنَا جَمَلٌ هُوَ الَّذِي نَحُجُّ عَلَيْهِ فَأَوْصَى بِهِ أَبُو مَعْقِلٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَهَلاَّ خَرَجْتِ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ الْحَجَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَمَّا إِذْ فَاتَتْكِ هَذِهِ الْحَجَّةُ مَعَنَا فَاعْتَمِرِي فِي رَمَضَانَ فَإِنَّهَا كَحَجَّةٍ فَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ الْحَجُّ حَجَّةٌ وَالْعُمْرَةُ عُمْرَةٌ وَقَدْ قَالَ هَذَا لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا أَدْرِي أَلِيَ خَاصَّةً

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to perform hajj. A woman said to her husband: Let me perform hajj along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: I have nothing on which I can let you perform hajj. She said: You may perform hajj on your such-and-such camel. He said: That is dedicated to the cause of Allah, the Exalted. He then came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: My wife has conveyed her greetings and the blessings of Allah to you. She has asked about performing hajj along with you. She said (to me): Let me perform hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said (to her): I have nothing upon which I can let you perform hajj. She said: Let me perform hajj on your such-and-such camel. I said: That is dedicated to the cause of Allah, The Exalted. He replied: If you let her perform hajj on it, that would be in the cause of Allah. He said: She has also requested me to ask you: What is that action which is equivalent to performing hajj with you? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Convey my greetings, the mercy of Allah and His blessings to her and tell her that umrah during Ramadan is equivalent to performing hajj along with me.

أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَجَّ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِزَوْجِهَا أَحِجَّنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلاَنٍ قَالَ ذَاكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي تَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّهَا سَأَلَتْنِي الْحَجَّ مَعَكَ قَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلاَنٍ فَقُلْتُ ذَاكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَحْجَجْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ كَانَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَإِنَّهَا أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا يَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقْرِئْهَا السَّلاَمَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتِهِ وَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعِي يَعْنِي عُمْرَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to perform Hajj, so a woman said to her husband, "Let me go for Hajj with the Messenger of Allah." He replied, "I do not have anything to perform Hajj with." She said, "Take me with you on your camel." He responded, "That is what I am anticipating for myself and our child." She said, "Take me with you on your riding animal." He said, "That is what is needed in the way of Allah." She said, "Then sell your dates and raisins." He said, "That is our sustenance, yours and mine." When the Prophet ﷺ returned from Makkah, the woman sent a message to him, saying, "Peace be upon you, Messenger of Allah. Please ask him (her husband) what credits a Hajj with you." Her husband went to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my wife sends greetings to you, and she said that she asked me to take her for Hajj with you. I told her I do not have anything. Then she said, 'Take me on my riding animal.' I responded, 'That is what is needed in the way of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'If you had taken her, you would have been rewarded for performing Hajj in the way of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ then laughed in astonishment at her eagerness to perform Hajj." He (the husband) continued, "She also requested me to ask you what is equivalent to a Hajj with you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Tell her peace and mercy from me, and inform her that performing Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj with me."

أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحَجَّ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِزَوْجِهَا حُجَّ بِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ فَحَجَّ بِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَوَلَدُكِ قَالَتْ فَحُجَّ بِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ قَالَ ذَلِكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ تَمْرَ رِقِّكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ قُوتِي وَقُوتُكِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ زَوْجَهَا فَقَالَتْ أقْرِئْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَسَلْهُ مَا يَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ فَأَتَى زَوْجُهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي تُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَنَّ أَحُجَّ بِهَا مَعَكَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا لَيْسَ عِنْدِي قَالَتْ فَحَجَّ بِي عَلَى جَمَلِي فُلَانٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا ذَلِكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَمَا إِنَّكِ لَوْ كُنْتِ حَجَجْتِ بِهَا كَانَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» فَقَالَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ تَعَجُّبًا مِنْ حِرْصِهَا عَلَى الْحَجِّ قَالَ وَإِنَّهَا أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ «أقْرِئهَا مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعِي عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to perform Hajj, and a woman said to her husband, "Take me with you to perform Hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Her husband replied, "I don't have anything to afford your Hajj." She then asked him to take her on his camel. He replied, "That camel is reserved for the cause of Allah." She asked him to sell his date crop. He replied, "That is our sustenance, both yours and mine." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, her husband sent her to him, and she said to him, "Convey to him my greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah, and ask him if there is a way for me to perform Hajj with him." So her husband went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my wife conveys to you her greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah. She asked me to perform Hajj with her, and I told her I don't have anything to afford her Hajj. Then she asked me to take her on my camel. I told her that the camel is reserved for the cause of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you had taken her on the camel, it would have been in the cause of Allah." She then asked me to sell our date crop, and I told her that it is our sustenance, both hers and mine. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed due to her eagerness to perform Hajj. He then said, "She instructed me to ask you what she would receive as a reward for performing Hajj with you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Convey to her my greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah, and inform her that performing Umrah in Ramadan is equal to performing Hajj with me."

أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَجَّ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِزَوْجِهَا أَحْجِجْنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ أَحْجِجْنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ أَحْجِجْنِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَأَنْتِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ ثَمَرَتَكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ قُوتِي وَقُوتُكِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَتْ زَوْجَهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَقْرئْهُ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَسَلْهُ مَا يَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي تَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ سَأَلَتْنِي الْحَجَّ مَعَكَ فَقُلْتُ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَحْجِجْنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ فَقُلْتُ ذَاكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَحْجَجْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ كَانَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَأَحْجِجْنِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ فَقُلْتُ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَأَنْتِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ ثَمَرَتَكَ قُلْتُ ذَاكَ قُوتِي وَقُوتُكِ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ حِرْصِهَا عَلَى الْحَجِّ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا يُجْزِيُ حَجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَقْرِئْهَا السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّهُ يَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعِي عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ

[Machine] So a woman said to her husband, "Perform the Hajj pilgrimage with me alongside the Prophet ﷺ." He replied, "I do not have enough to perform the Hajj for both of us." She said, "Perform the Hajj pilgrimage for me using your camel, Fulan." He said, "That camel is reserved for the sake of Allah." She said, "Then perform the Hajj pilgrimage for me using your slave." He said, "That is reserved for me and our son." She said, "Then sell your date harvest." He said, "That is our sustenance and your sustenance." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, she sent her husband to the Prophet ﷺ, saying, "Send him my greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah, and ask him if there is a lesser form of pilgrimage that I can perform with him." So her husband went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my wife sends you her greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah. She asked me to perform the Hajj pilgrimage for her, and I told her that I do not have enough to perform it for her." She said, "Perform the Hajj pilgrimage for me using your camel, Fulan." I said, "That is reserved for the sake of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you had performed it for her, it would have been in the way of Allah." She said, "Then perform the Hajj pilgrimage for me using your slave." I said, "That is reserved for me and our son." She said, "Then sell your date harvest." At this, the Prophet ﷺ laughed at her eagerness for the Hajj pilgrimage. Ibrahim ibn Al-Hajjaj mentioned in his narration of this incident that the Prophet ﷺ laughed with amazement at her eagerness for the Hajj pilgrimage. He said, "She ordered me to ask you if there is a lesser form of Hajj that is equivalent to performing it with you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Send her my greetings of peace and the mercy of Allah, and inform her that an 'Umrah pilgrimage during Ramadan is equivalent to performing the Hajj pilgrimage with me." The judge said, "That is how it happened."

فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِزَوْجِهَا حُجَّ بِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ قَالَ ذَاكَ حَبِيسُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَحُجَّ بِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَابْنُكِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ ثَمَرَتَكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ قُوتِي وَقُوتِكِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْسَلَتْ زَوْجَهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ أَقْرِئْهُ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَسَلْهُ مَا يَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ فَأَتَى زَوْجُهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ امْرَأَتِي تُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ إِنَّهَا سَأَلَتْنِي أُحِجُّهَا فَقُلْتُ مَا عِنْدِي مَا أُحِجُّكِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَحِجَّنِي عَلَى جَمَلِكَ فُلَانٍ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ حَبِيسٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتَ أَحْجَجْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ كَانَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَتْ فَأَحِجَّنِي عَلَى نَاضِحِكَ فَقُلْتُ ذَاكَ نَعْتَقِبُهُ أَنَا وَابْنُكِ قَالَتْ فَبِعْ ثَمَرَتَكَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ حِرْصِهَا عَلَى الْحَجِّ وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَجَبًا مِنْ حِرْصِهَا عَلَى الْحَجِّ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا يَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ أَقْرِئْهَا السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً مَعِي عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ الْقَاضِي هَكَذَا

Muhammad reported on the authority of some of his teachers that Ubayy b. Ka'b led them in prayer during Ramadan. He used to perform the qunut during the second half of Ramadan.

أَنَّ أُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ أَمَّهُمْ يَعْنِي فِي رَمَضَانَ وَكَانَ يَقْنُتُ فِي النِّصْفِ الآخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ

When the deputation of ‘Abd al-Qais came to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him), he commanded them to believe in Allah. He asked : Do you know what faith in Allah is? They replied : Allah and his Apostle know best. He said: It includes the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, the observance of the prayer, the payment of zakat, the fasts of Ramadan, and your giving a fifth of the booty.

إِنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ لَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ تُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ

What is Islam? He replied : It means saying prayer, payment of zakat, performing HAJJ, fasting during RAMADAN, and taking a bath on account of sexual defilement. Abu Dawud said: 'Alqamah was a Murji'i.

إِقَامُ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَحَجُّ الْبَيْتِ وَصَوْمُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَالاِغْتِسَالُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ
