[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever meets Allah without associating anything with Him and performs the five daily prayers and fasts during Ramadan, it will be written for him to be forgiven." I said, "Shouldn't I give them the good news, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Let them continue to do their deeds."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ لَقِيَ اللهَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا يُصَلِّي الْخَمْسَ وَيَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ غُفِرَ لَهُ قُلْتُ أَفَلَا أُبَشِّرُهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ دَعْهُمْ يَعْمَلُوا

[Machine] I went out of necessity and found myself with a group in the marketplace. I joined them and there was a man talking to them, describing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and describing his physical characteristics. I presented myself to him on the road between Arafat and Mina, and he lifted me onto his ride, and I recognized him by his description. Then a man called out to me, "O rider, move away from the faces of the travelers!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave the rider alone, for he has done nothing wrong." So I came closer until I took hold of the reins or bridle of the she-camel and said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me or instruct me to do an action that will bring me close to Jannah and take me far from the Hellfire." He said, "Is that what you want from me, or are you asking me sincerely?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then be mindful or understand that worshiping Allah without associating anything with Him, establishing prayer, paying Zakat, fasting in Ramadan, performing Hajj, and treating people the way you want to be treated and avoiding what you dislike. Let go of the reins or bridle of the she-camel." Abu Qatadah said, "So I said to him, "Did you hear this directly from him or did you hear it from Al-Mughirah?" He said, "Yes."

غَدَوْتُ لِحَاجَةٍ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِجَمَاعَةٍ فِي السُّوقِ فَمِلْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ وَصْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَوَصْفَ صِفَتِهِ قَالَ فَعَرَضْتُ لَهُ عَلَى قَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ بَيْنَ عَرَفَاتٍ وَمِنًى فَرُفِعَ لِي فِي رَكْبٍ فَعَرَفْتُهُ بِالصِّفَةِ قَالَ فَهَتَفَ بِي رَجُلٌ أَيُّهَا الرَّاكِبُ خَلِّ عَنْ وُجُوهِ الرِّكَابِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَرُوا الرَّاكِبَ فَأَرِبٌ مَا لَهُ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِزِمَامِ النَّاقَةِ أَوْ خِطَامِهَا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَدِّثْنِي أَوْ خَبِّرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُنِي مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ أَوَذَلِكَ أَعْمَلَكَ أَوْ أَنْصَبَكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاعْقِلْ إِذًا أَوْ افْهَمْ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ وَتَأْتِي إِلَى النَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ يُؤْتَى إِلَيْكَ وَتَكْرَهُ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُؤْتَى إِلَيْكَ خَلِّ زِمَامَ النَّاقَةِ أَوْ خِطَامَهَا قَالَ أَبُو قَطَنٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْهُ أَوْ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ

[Machine] We fasted with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during Ramadan and he did not perform night prayers with us until it was the night of the twenty-fourth. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer until almost one-third of the night had passed. Then, on the following night, he did not perform night prayers with us. But on the night of the twenty-sixth, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer until almost half of the night had passed. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you could only voluntarily pray with us for the rest of this night." He said, "No, for if a man prays with the imam until he finishes, it is counted as the whole night for him." Then, on the following night, he did not perform night prayers with us. But when it was the night of the twenty-eight, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered his family and the people gathered for him, and he led us in prayer until we almost missed the pre-dawn meal. I asked, "What is the pre-dawn meal?" He said, "Suhoor (the meal before dawn prayer)." Then, after that night, he did not perform night prayers with us, O son of my brother, for the remainder of the month.

صُمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا شَيْئًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَامَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ قَامَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ نَفَّلْتَنَا بَقِيَّةَ لَيْلَتِنَا هَذِهِ قَالَ لَا إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا قَامَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ حُسِبَ لَهُ قِيَامُ لَيْلَةٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْلَهُ وَاجْتَمَعَ لَهُ النَّاسُفَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَادَ يَفُوتُنَا الْفَلَاحُ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْفَلَاحُ؟ قَالَ السُّحُورُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا يَا ابْنَ أَخِي شَيْئًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ

[Machine] We fasted with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during Ramadan, and he did not offer night prayers with us at all until the twenty-third night. He then offered night prayers with us until a third of the night had passed. After that, he did not offer night prayers with us on the fourth night, but offered them with us on the fifth night until half of the night had passed. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, if only you would prolong our night prayers." He said, "When a person prays with the imam until he finishes, it will be written for him as if he spent the whole night in prayer." He did not offer night prayers with us on the sixth night, but offered them on the seventh night. He then sent for his family and the people gathered until we feared that we would miss the pre-dawn meal (sahur). I asked, "What is the pre-dawn meal?" He replied, "It is the meal consumed before dawn." According to Wahib, Dawud reported that the twenty-fourth night is among the remaining nights, the twenty-sixth night is the fifth among the remaining nights, and the twenty-eighth night is the third among the remaining nights, and it has the same meaning.

صُمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَامَ بِنَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ نَحْوٌ مِنْ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ وَقَامَ بِنَا فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ نَحْوٌ مَنْ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ نَفَّلْتَنَا بَقِيَّةَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ إِذَا قَامَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ كُتِبَ لَهُ بَقِيَّةُ لَيْلَتِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا اللَّيْلَةَ السَّادِسَةَ وَقَامَ السَّابِعَةَ وَبَعَثَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى خَشِينَا أَنْ يَفُوتَنَا الْفَلَاحُ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْفَلَاحُ؟ قَالَ السَّحُورُ وَرَوَاهُ وُهَيْبٌ عَنْ دَاوُدَ قَالَ لَيْلَةُ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ السَّابِعُ مِمَّا يَبْقَى وَقَالَ لَيْلَةُ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ الْخَامِسُ مِمَّا يَبْقَى وَلَيْلَةُ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ الثَّالِثُ مِمَّا يَبْقَى وَبِمَعْنَاهُ

[Machine] The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were discussing the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr). Ubayy said, "By the One whom there is no god but Him, I know which night it is. It is the night that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us about, the night that falls on the twenty-seventh of Ramadan. The sign of that night is that the sun rises the following morning without any rays." Salamah bin Kuheil claimed that a visitor had informed him that he had observed this phenomenon for three years straight, from the first day of Ramadan to its last, and that he saw the dawn of the twenty-seventh morning without any rays.

تَذَاكَرَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ أُبَيٌّ أَنَا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ أَعْلَمُ أَيُّ لَيْلَةٍ هِيَ هِيَ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي أَخْبَرَنَا بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ تَمْضِي مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ تُصْبِحُ الْغَدَ مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ تَرَقْرَقُ لَيْسَ لَهَا شُعَاعٌ فَزَعَمَ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ أَنَّ زِرًّا أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ رَصَدَهَا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ يَدْخُلُ رَمَضَانُ إِلَى آخِرِهِ فَرَآهَا تَطْلُعُ صَبِيحَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ تَرَقْرَقُ لَيْسَ لَهَا شُعَاعٌ

[Machine] "That day, the sun rises with no rays."

أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us that on that day, the sun rises without any rays.

أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا

[Machine] "About the Prophet ﷺ? He said, 'That's how it is with me.'"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ كَذَا هُوَ عِنْدِي

[Machine] He said regarding the night of Al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), "Whoever stands for it, casting off sleep, will be rewarded." So I set out until I arrived at Uthman ibn Affan and I wanted to meet the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the Emigrants and the Helpers. Asim narrated to me that Uqbah ibn Ka'b and Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf used to stand for prayer when the sun set and perform two units of prayer before Maghrib. So I said to Ubay, who had a harsh demeanor, "Lower your wing over us, may Allah have mercy on you, because I am only enjoying myself with you. "He said, "Do you want to leave out any verse from the Qur'an without asking me about it?" He said, "And I had a companion who spoke the truth, so I said, 'O Abu Mundhir, tell me about the Night of Decree.' For Ibn Mas'ud says, 'Whoever stands for it, casting off sleep, will be rewarded.' " He said, "By Allah, Abdullah knew that it is in Ramadan, but he concealed it from the people so that they would not rely on it. By Allah, who sent down the Book upon Muhammad ﷺ, it is indeed in Ramadan, and it is the night of the twenty-seventh." So I said, "O Abu Mundhir, how do you know that?" He said, "Through the verse that Muhammad ﷺ informed us of." So we counted and memorized it, and by Allah, it is a sign that is not excepted." He said, "So I said, 'And what is the verse?' He said, 'It rises when the sun rises, it has no rays until it rises and becomes white and ascends.'"

أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ مَنْ يَقُمِ الْحَوْلَ يُصِبْهَا فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ وَأَرَدْتُ لُقِيَّ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ عَاصِمٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّهُ لَزِمَ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَقُومَانِ حِينَ تَغْرُبُ الشَّمْسُ فَيَرْكَعَانِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِأُبَيٍّ وَكَانَتْ فِيهِ شَرَاسَةٌ اخْفِضْ لَنَا جَنَاحَكَ رَحِمَكَ اللهُ فَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا أَتَمَتَّعُ مِنْكَ تَمَتُّعًا فَقَالَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا تَدَعَ آيَةً فِي الْقُرْآنِ إِلَّا سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْهَا قَالَ وَكَانَ لِي صَاحِبَ صِدْقٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَإِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَقُمِ الْحَوْلَ يُصِبْهَا فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَعَبْدُ اللهِ أَنَّهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ وَلَكِنَّهُ عَمَّى عَلَى النَّاسِ لِكَيْلَا يَتَّكِلُوا وَاللهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ الْكِتَابَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّهَا لَفِي رَمَضَانَ وَإِنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ أَنَّى عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ بِالْآيَةِ الَّتِي أَنْبَأَنَا بِهَا مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ فَعَدَدْنَا وَحَفِظْنَا فَوَاللهِ إِنَّهَا لَهِيَ مَا يُسْتَثْنَى قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا الْآيَةُ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ حِينَ تَطْلُعُ لَيْسَ لَهَا شُعَاعٌ حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ وَكَانَ عَاصِمٌ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ مِنَ السَّحَرِ لَا يَطْعَمُ طَعَامًا حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ صَعِدَ عَلَى الصَّوْمَعَةِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الشَّمْسِ حِينَ تَطْلُعُ لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا حَتَّى تَبْيَضَّ وَتَرْتَفِعَ

[Machine] Narrated by Abdullah, Hudbah bin Khaled reported to us, Hammad reported to us from Thabit, from Abu Rafe', from Ubayy ibn Ka'b, that the Messenger of Allah used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. However, one year he was unable to observe i'tikaf due to circumstances. Then, the following year, he observed i'tikaf for twenty days.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَسَافَرَ سَنَةً فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الْمُقْبِلُ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for thirty nights in the month of Ramadan. The first night, we stood with him until one-third of the night, then he said, "I do not think that you seek anything other than what is behind you." Then we stood with him for twenty-five nights until half of the night, then he said, "I do not think that you seek anything other than what is behind you." Then we stood with him for twenty-seven nights until morning, and he remained silent.

قُمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا أَحْسَبُ مَا تَطْلُبُونَ إِلَّا وَرَاءَكُمْ ثُمَّ قُمْنَا مَعَهُ لَيْلَةَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ إِلَى نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا أُحْسَبُ مَا تَطْلُبُونَ إِلَّا وَرَاءَكُمْ فَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ وَسَكَتَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "None of you should say, 'I have fasted the entire month of Ramadan' or 'I have observed all of its fasts.'"

Al-Hasan and Yazid both said once: "Qatadah said: 'Only Allah knows, but I fear for His Ummah whether there should necessarily be someone that is either neglectful or complacent.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ قُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ وَلَا صُمْتُهُ كُلَّهُ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ وقَالَ يَزِيدُ مَرَّةً قَالَ قَتَادَةُ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَخَافَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ التَّزْكِيَةَ أَوْ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ رَاقِدٍ أَوْ غَافِلٍ ؟

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "None of you should say, 'I have observed the entirety of Ramadan.'" Qatadah said, "Allah knows best. I fear that it may be considered boasting against His Ummah or it may be said, 'There must be a slumbering or an ignorant person.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنِّي قُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَخَشِيَ التَّزْكِيَةَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ أَوْ يَقُولُ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ رَاقِدٍ أَوْ غَافِلٍ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "One of you should not say, 'I have fasted the whole Ramadan.'"

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنِّي قُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ

"لا يَقُولَنَّ أحَدُكُمْ: إِنِّي صُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كلَّهُ وَقمْتُه".

[Machine] Salim Abu Ubaidullah, also known as Abu Hatim, narrated from Abdur Rahman ibn Abi Bakr, who narrated from his father, from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , who said, "There are two months of celebration that should not be diminished: Ramadan and Dhul-Hijjah."

عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي عُبَيْدِ اللهِ وَهُوَ أَيْضَا يُكَنَّى أَبَا حَاتِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ شَهْرَا عِيدٍ لَا يَنْقُصَانِرَمَضَانُ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'None of you should say, "I have observed Ramadan in its entirety." For Allah knows best and I fear that His Ummah (community) may boast about themselves.' Abd al-Wahhab said, 'Does Allah need His Ummah to boast about themselves? Or does he rather fear that they will fall into deep sleep or negligence?'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنِّي قُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ قَالَ فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَخَشِيَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ أَنْ تُزَكِّيَ أَنْفُسَهَا قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَخَشِيَ التَّزْكِيَةَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ؟ أَوْ قَالَ لَابُدَّ مِنْ نَوْمٍ أَوْ غَفْلَةٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "No month comes upon the Muslims that is better for them than Ramadan, and no month comes upon the hypocrites that is worse for them than Ramadan. This is because the believers prepare in it with strength for worship, while the hypocrites are known for their negligence and faults among people. It is a time when the believers seize the profits, while the sinners exploit it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَحْلُوفِ رَسُولِ اللهِ مَا أَتَى عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ شَهْرٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَلَا أَتَى عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ شَهْرٌ شَرٌّ لَهُمْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَذَلِكَ لِمَا يُعِدُّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ لِلْعِبَادَةِ وَمَا يُعِدُّ فِيهِ الْمُنَافِقُونَ مِنْ غَفَلَاتِ النَّاسِ وَعَوْرَاتِهِمْ هُوَ غنْمٌ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَغْتَنِمُهُ الْفَاجِرُ

[Machine] There were two men from Bani Bali who became Muslim with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . One of them was martyred, and the other lived for another year. Talha ibn Ubayd Allah said, "I saw Paradise in a dream and I saw the one who lived longer of the two entering it before the martyr." I was amazed by this, so in the morning I mentioned it to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ or it was mentioned to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hasn't he fasted Ramadhan and prayed six thousand units or so of the Sunnah prayer after that?"

كَانَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَلِيٍّ حَيٌّ مِنْ قُضَاعَةَ أَسْلَمَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَاسْتُشْهِدَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَأُخِّرَ الْآخَرُسَنَةً قَالَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ فَأُرِيتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُ الْمُؤَخَّرَ مِنْهُمَا أُدْخِلَ قَبْلَ الشَّهِيدِ فَتَعَجَّبْتُ لِذَلِكَ فَأَصْبَحْتُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَوْ ذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ صَامَ بَعْدَهُ رَمَضَانَ وَصَلَّى سِتَّةَ آلَافِ رَكْعَةٍ أَوْ كَذَا وَكَذَا رَكْعَةً صَلَاةَ السَّنَةِ؟

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever reaches Ramadan and has missed any part of it, it will not be accepted from them, and whoever fasts voluntarily and has missed any part of Ramadan, it will not be accepted from them until they make up for it."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَمَضَانَوَعَلَيْهِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ شَيْءٌ لَمْ يَقْضِهِ لَمْ يُتَقَبَّلْ مِنْهُ وَمَنْ صَامَ تَطَوُّعًا وَعَلَيْهِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ شَيْءٌ لَمْ يَقْضِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُتَقَبَّلُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَصُومَهُ

"مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَمَضَانَ وَعَلَيهِ مِن رَمَضَانَ شَيْءٌ لَمْ يَقْضِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لا يُقْبلُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَصُومهُ".

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)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَفْطَرَ يَوْمًا مِنْرَمَضَانَ فِي غَيْرِ رُخْصَةٍ رَخَّصَهَا اللهُ لَهُ فَلَمْ يُقْبَلْ مِنْهُ الدَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ

[Machine] About the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , she said, "Don't you read the Quran?" He said, "Yes, I do." Then he mentioned the hadith. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray regularly and when he missed the night prayer, his eyes would be overcome with sleep or tiredness, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never completed a night prayer until morning, nor did he complete the recitation of the Quran in one night. And he did not fast for a whole month apart from Ramadan, until he passed away."

عَنْ خُلُقِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ أَلَسْتَ تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهَا وَكَانَ إِذَا فَاتَهُ الْقِيَامُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ غَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ بِنَوْمٍ أَوْ وَجَعٍ صَلَّى اثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ النَّهَارِ قَالَتْ وَلَمْ يَقُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً يُتِمُّهَا حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ وَلَمْ يَقْرَأِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ يُتِمُّهُ وَلَمْ يَصُمْ شَهْرًا يُتِمُّهُ غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى مَاتَ

[Machine] "Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , reported that the Prophet ﷺ used to observe Itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan until Allah took him."

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُمَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ ﷻ

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ used to observe Itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan, and he continued to do so until death ﷺ.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ الْمَوْتُ ﷺ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came down and prayed in the mosque one night during Ramadan, and some people prayed behind him. Then he came down the second night and there were more people than before. They increased in number on the third night, and when the fourth night came, the mosque was crowded with its people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come down, so they said, "What is the matter with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he did not come down?" He heard their words and when morning came, he said, "O people, I have heard what you said. The only thing that prevented me from coming down to you was the fear that the obligatory night prayer would be made obligatory for you."

نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَصَلَّى خَلْفَهُ نَاسٌ بِصَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ اللَّيْلَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَكَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ كَثُرُوا فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الرَّابِعَةُ غَصَّ الْمَسْجِدُ بِأَهْلِهِ فَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا فِي ذَلِكَ مَا شَأْنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ؟ فَسَمِعَ مَقَالَتَهُمْ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَقَالَتَكُمْ وَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُفْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ قِيَامُ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ

[Machine] Abu Huraira used to say, "Whoever wakes up in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity), then fasting is not valid for him." Marwan ibn al-Hakam sent me and another man to Aisha and Umm Salamah, asking them about waking up in a state of janabah in Ramadan before taking a ritual bath. One of them said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wake up in a state of janabah, then he would take a bath and observe his fasting for the day." The other one said, "He used to wake up in a state of janabah without having a wet dream, then he would complete his fasting." They both returned and informed Marwan about it. He said to Abdur-Rahman, "Inform Abu Huraira about what they said." Abu Huraira said, "That is what I used to think and believe." Marwan said, "You give fatwa (religious rulings) based on your thinking and beliefs."

كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ جُنُبًا فَلَا صَوْمَ لَهُ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَنِي مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ آخَرَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ نَسْأَلُهُمَا عَنِ الْجُنُبِ يُصْبِحُ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ وَيُتِمُّ صِيَامَ يَوْمِهِ قَالَ وَقَالَتِ الْأُخْرَى كَانَ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَحْتَلِمَ ثُمَّ يُتِمُّ صَوْمَهُ قَالَ فَرَجَعَا فَأَخْبَرَا مَرْوَانَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبِرْ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ بِمَا قَالَتَا فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ كَذَا كُنْتُ أَحْسَبُ وَكَذَا كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ بِأَظُنُّ وَبِأَحْسَبُ تُفْتِي النَّاسَ

From the Prophet ﷺ who said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan, then one month ˹is equivalent˺ to ten. And fasting and fasting for six days after the Fitr (end of Ramadan), that is ˹like˺ fasting for a year."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: *«مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ فَشَهْرٌ بِعَشَرَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَصِيَامُ سِتَّةِ *أَيَّامٍ **بَعْدَ **الْفِطْرِ فَذَلِكَ تَمَامُ صِيَامِ السَّنَةِ».

"صِيَامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِعَشْرَة أشْهَرٍ، وَصِيَامُ سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ، بشَهْرَين، بَعْدَ الْفِطْرِ، فَذَلِكَ صِيَامُ السَّنَةِ".

[Machine] When Abdullah wanted to come to the city, he gathered his companions and said, "By Allah, I hope that today I am among you with the best of what the Muslim armies have in terms of religion, understanding, and knowledge of the Quran. Indeed, this Quran was revealed with its fine details. By Allah, if two men were to dispute, it would be over nothing as severe as when a reciter says, 'This is how I recite it,' and the other says, 'No, both of you recite well.' Verily, truth guides to righteousness, and righteousness guides to paradise, while lying guides to disobedience, and disobedience guides to the Hellfire. Consider this by the words of one of you to his companion, 'You lied and sinned,' and by his saying, 'If you tell the truth, I believe you and exonerate you.' Indeed, this Quran does not differ or contradict, nor does it become insignificant due to the multitude of responses. So whoever recites it with precision, let him not abandon it out of desire. And whoever recites it with any of the letters that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught, let him not abandon it out of desire. For surely, whoever denies one of its ayahs, he denies all that it contains. It is like the saying of one of you to his companion, 'Hurry up and guide me.' By Allah, if I knew a man who had knowledge of what Allah revealed to Muhammad ﷺ more than me, I would seek his company until his knowledge increased to the level of my own. Indeed, there will be people who neglect prayers, so perform your prayers at their specified times and make your voluntary prayers along with them. And verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite the Quran in every Ramadan. And I presented the matter twice in the year he passed away, and he informed me that I was reciting it well. I have recited seventy chapters from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."

لَمَّا أَرَادَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْمَدِينَةَ جَمَعَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ فِيكُمْ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا أَصْبَحَ فِي أَجْنَادِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنَ الدِّينِ وَالْفِقْهِ وَالْعِلْمِ بِالْقُرْآنِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى حُرُوفٍ وَاللهِ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلَانِ لَيَخْتَصِمَانِ أَشَدَّ مَا اخْتَصَمَا فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ فَإِذَا قَالَ الْقَارِئُ هَذَا أَقْرَأَنِي قَالَأَحْسَنْتَ وَإِذَا قَالَ الْآخَرُ قَالَ كِلَاكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ فَأَقْرَأَنَا إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَالْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَالْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَالْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ وَاعْتَبِرُوا ذَاكَ بِقَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ كَذَبَ وَفَجَرَ وَبِقَوْلِهِ إِذَا صَدَّقَهُ صَدَقْتَ وَبَرَرْتَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ لَا يَخْتَلِفُ وَلَا يُسْتَشَنُّ وَلَا يَتْفَهُ لِكَثْرَةِ الرَّدِّ فَمَنْ قَرَأَهُ عَلَى حَرْفٍ فَلَا يَدَعْهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْحُرُوفِ الَّتِي عَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَا يَدَعْهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَجْحَدْ بِآيَةٍ مِنْهُ يَجْحَدْ بِهِ كُلِّهِ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ كَقَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ اعْجَلْ وَحَيَّ هَلًا وَاللهِ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ رَجُلًا أَعْلَمَ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ مِنِّي لَطَلَبْتُهُ حَتَّى أَزْدَادَ عِلْمَهُ إِلَى عِلْمِي إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلُّوا الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَاجْعَلُوا صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ تَطَوُّعًا وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُعَارَضُ بِالْقُرْآنِ فِي كُلِّ رَمَضَانَ وَإِنِّي عَرَضْتُ فِي الْعَامِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَأَنْبَأَنِي أَنِّي مُحْسِنٌ وَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً

[Machine] A man from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ entered upon us. When Uthman saw him, he became saddened and remained silent. He then spoke about Ramadan, saying, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'In Ramadan, the gates of Hell are closed, the gates of Paradise are opened, and the devils are chained up.' He further said, 'In it, a caller announces, "O seeker of goodness, proceed! O seeker of evil, desist!" until Ramadan is completed.'"

فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عُتْبَةُ هَابَهُ فَسَكَتَ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَ عَنْ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي رَمَضَانَ تُغَلَّقُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ وَتُفَتَّحُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ وَتُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ قَالَ وَيُنَادِي فِيهِ مَلَكٌ يَا بَاغِيَ الْخَيْرِ أَبْشِرْ يَا بَاغِيَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ رَمَضَانُ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ calling for the pre-dawn meal in the month of Ramadan. He said, "Come for the blessed meal, then I heard him say, 'O Allah, teach Mu'awiyah the Book and the account and protect him from the punishment."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺوَهُوَ يَدْعُو إِلَى السَّحُورِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ هَلُمَّ إِلَى الْغِدَاءِ الْمُبَارَكِ ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ عَلِّمْ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِسَابَ وَقِهِ الْعَذَابَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man from the Ansar and his wife, "Perform 'Umrah in Ramadan, for verily, 'Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj." And Sufyan said once, without specifying who told him, "Perform 'Umrah, for verily, 'Umrah in it is equivalent to Hajj."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَامْرَأَتِهِ اعْتَمِرَا فِي رَمَضَانَ فَإِنَّ عُمْرَةً فِي رَمَضَانَ لَكُمَا كَحَجَّةٍ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً وَلَمْ يَقُلْحَدَّثَنِي يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ فَإِنَّ عُمْرَةً فِيهِ كَحَجَّةٍ

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast in the month of Sha'ban and Ramadan.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ وَرَمَضَانَ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to fast in the months of Sha'ban and Ramadan.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ وَرَمَضَانَ»

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ used to fast in the month of Sha'ban leading up to Ramadan."

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَصِلُ شَعْبَانَ بِرَمَضَانَ»

[Machine] I heard Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri, and it was mentioned to him about a prayer at At-Tur (mountain). He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'It is not proper for a traveler to set out heading to a mosque seeking to perform a prayer except at Al-Masjid Al-Haram, Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, or this mosque of mine. And it is not proper for a woman who has entered Islam to travel except with a Mahram from her family. And it is not proper to pray in the two hours after Fajr prayer until the sun rises, nor after Asr prayer until the sun sets. And it is not proper to fast on two days of the year, the day of Eid al-Fitr and the day of Eid al-Adha.'"

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ وَذُكِرَتْ عِنْدَهُ صَلَاةٌ فِي الطُّورِ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمَطِيِّ أَنْ تُشَدَّ رِحَالُهُ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ يُبْتَغَى فِيهِ الصَّلَاةُ غَيْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَالْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى وَمَسْجِدِي هَذَا وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِامْرَأَةٍ دَخَلَتِ الْإِسْلَامَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا مُسَافِرَةً إِلَّا مَعَ بَعْلٍ أَوْ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ مِنْهَا وَلَا يَنْبَغِي الصَّلَاةُ فِي سَاعَتَيْنِ مِنَ النَّهَارِ مِنْ بَعْدِ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى أَنْ تَرْحَلَ الشَّمْسُ وَلَا بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى أَنْ تَغْرُبَالشَّمْسُ وَلَا يَنْبَغِي الصَّوْمُ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan when he was staying in one place, and when he travelled, he would observe i'tikaf for twenty days in the coming year. Abdullah bin Ahmad said, "My father narrated to me that he heard this hadith from Ibn Abi Adiy from Humaid from Anas."

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ مُقِيمًا اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَإِذَا سَافَرَ اعْتَكَفَ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ عِشْرِينَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ أَبِي لَمْ أَسْمَعْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا مِنْ ابْنِأَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ traveled during Ramadan and rode his mount. He called for water to be brought to him, and then he raised it and sent it away. When it became stationary, he drank from it while the people were looking at him."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَافَرَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ عَلَى يَدِهِ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهَا فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَتْ قَائِمَةً شَرِبَ وَالنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ

Ibn 'Abbas gave a Khutbah in Al-Basrah and said: "Pay the zakah of your fasting." The people started looking at one another. He said: "Whoever there is here from the people of Al-Madinah, get up and teach your brothers, for they do not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ enjoined sadaqat al-fitr on the young and the old, the free and the slave, the male and the female; half a sa' of wheat or a sa' of dried dates or barley.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1580)

يَا أَهْلَ الْبَصْرَةِ أَدُّوا زَكَاةَ صَوْمِكُمْ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَاهُنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ؟ قُومُوا فَعَلِّمُوا إِخْوَانَكُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَضَ صَدَقَةَ رَمَضَانَ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ بُرٍّ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ وَالْحُرِّ وَالذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى

[Machine] Hisham narrated to us and mentioned something similar to it, except that they said, "Whoever observes Ramadan in faith'".

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ وَذَكَرَا مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Seek Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree) in the last ten nights of Ramadan, on an odd night. Indeed, I saw it but then I forgot it. It is a night of rain and wind, or he said, drizzle and wind."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْتَمِسُوا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فِي وَتْرٍ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا فَنُسِّيتُهَا هِيَ لَيْلَةُ مَطَرٍ وَرِيحٍ أَوْ قَالَ قَطْرٍ وَرِيحٍ

"التمسوا ليلةَ القدرِ في العَشْر الأواخِرِ من رمضانَ: في وَتْرٍ، فَإنِّي قَدْ رَأيتُها فنسيتُها".

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “My ummah has been given five qualities in Ramadan that no nation before them was given: (1) the odor from the mouth of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk; (2) the angels seek forgiveness for them until they break their fast; (3) Allah ﷻ adorns His Paradise every day, then says: ‘My righteous servants are soon to cast off the burden and harm and come to you’; (4) the rebellious devils are chained in it, so they cannot reach what they used to reach in other than it; (5) and they are forgiven on the last night.”

It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, is it Laylat al-Qadr?” He said: “No; rather, the worker is only paid his wages when he has finished his work.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «أُعْطِيَتْ أُمَّتِي خَمْسَ خِصَالٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ، لَمْ تُعْطَهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَهُمْ: (١) خُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، (٢) وَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرُوا، (٣) وَيُزَيِّنُ اللَّهُ ﷻ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ جَنَّتَهُ –ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: يُوشِكُ عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ أَنْ يُلْقُوا عَنْهُمُ الْمَئُونَةَ وَالْأَذَى وَيَصِيرُوا إِلَيْكِ– (٤) وَيُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ مَرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ –فَلَا يَخْلُصُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى مَا كَانُوا يَخْلُصُونَ إِلَيْهِ فِي غَيْرِهِ– (٥) وَيُغْفَرُ لَهُمْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ».

قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَهِيَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا، وَلَكِنَّ الْعَامِلَ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى أَجْرَهُ إِذَا قَضَى عَمَلَهُ».

"أُعْطيَتْ أُمَّتي في شهْرِ رمضانَ خمْسَ خصال لمْ تُعطه أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَهم، خُلُوفُ فم الصَّائِم أطيبُ عند الله من ريحِ المِسْك، وتَستْغِفُر لهم الملائكةُ حتَّى يُفْطِرُوا، ويُزيِّن الله كُلَّ يوم جَنَّتَهُ، ثمَّ يقُولُ: يُوشِكُ عبادي الصَّالحونَ أَنْ يلُقُوا عْنُهمْ المَؤُنَةَ والأذَى، ويَصِيرونَ إليكِ، وتُصَفَّدُ فيه مردةُ الشياطينِ، ولا يَخلُصُون فيه إلى ما كانُوا يخلُصون في غيره، ويُغفَرُ لهم في آخِرِ ليلة، قيِلَ: يا رسولَ الله! أَهِي ليلةُ القدْرِ؟ قال: لا، ولكنَّ العامِلَ إنَّما يُوَفَّى أجْرَهُ إذا قَضَى عمَلَهُ".

the Prophet ﷺ, as ˹the month of˺ Rajab entered, used to say, "O Allah, bless us in ˹the months of˺ Rajab and Shaʿbān, and bless us in ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān." He also used to say, "The night of Friday (Thursday evening) is honorable and its day is ˹a day of˺ happiness/radiance."

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ رَجَبٌ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَجَبٍ وَشَعْبَانَ وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَمَضَانَ۔» وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ غَرَّاءُ وَيَوْمُهَا أَزْهَرُ۔»

the Prophet ﷺ, as ˹the month of˺ Rajab entered, used to say, "O Allah, bless us in ˹the months of˺ Rajab and Shaʿbān, and let us reach ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān." And whenever it was the night of Friday (Thursday evening), he said: "This night is honorable and the day of Friday is a day of happiness/radiance."

أن النبي ﷺ كانَ إِذَا دخلَ رجب قالَ: «اللهمَّ بارِكْ لَنا في رجب وشعبان، وبَلِّغنَا رمضانَ۔» وكان إِذا كانت ليلةُ الجمعة قالَ: «هذه ليلة غَرَّاءُ، ويومُ الجمعة يومٌ أزهرُ۔»

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, as ˹the month of˺ Rajab entered, used to say, "O Allah, bless us in ˹the months of˺ Rajab and Shaʿbān, and let us reach ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān."

كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ رَجَب قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا في رَجَبٍ وَشَعْبَانَ وَبَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَانَ۔»

[Machine] I asked Aisha, the mother of the Believers, "Tell me about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She said, "His prayer during Ramadan and other times was thirteen units of prayer. This included the two units of the dawn prayer (Fajr)."

I said, "Tell me about his fasting." She said, "He used to fast until we would say, 'He is fasting.' And he would break his fast until we would say, 'He has broken his fast.' I never saw him fasting a whole month more than he did in Sha'ban. He used to fast all of it except for a little."

عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَقُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَيْ أُمَّهْ أَخْبِرِينِي عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَغَيْرِهِ سَوَاءً ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً فِيهَا رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ قُلْتُ فَأَخْبِرِينِي عَنْ صِيَامِهِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ صَامَ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ قَدْ أَفْطَرَ وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَامَ شَهْرًا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صِيَامِهِ فِي شَعْبَانَ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , informed us about the Night of Qadr (Decree), saying: "It is in the month of Ramadan, so seek it in the last ten nights, for it is an odd night, either the night of the twenty-first, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-seventh, or twenty-ninth, or the last night of Ramadan. Whoever performs night prayers on this night with faith and hoping for its reward, will have his previous sins forgiven."

أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ هِيَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ؛ فَإِنَّهَا وَتْرٌ لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ مَنْ قَامَهَا احْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
