[Machine] I wanted to perform Hajj, but my camel fell ill, so I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, "Perform Umrah in the month of Ramadan, for an Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj."  

أَرَدْتُ الْحَجَّ فَضَلَّ بَعِيرِي فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اعْتَمِرِي فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَإِنَّ عُمْرَةً فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً»  

[Machine] The translation into English of the passage provided is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wake up in a state of ritual impurity in Ramadan with his family, then he would cleanse himself and observe fasting."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا فِي رَمَضَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ وَيَصُومُ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wake up in a state of ritual impurity (janabah) from sexual intercourse, without having a wet dream, in Ramadan, and then he would observe the fast.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ جِمَاعٍ غَيْرِ احْتِلَامٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the shadow of a steep wall in Ujum Hassan when a man came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am burnt." He asked, "What happened to you?" The man replied, "I fell on my wife while I was fasting." Then his wife said, "And that happened in Ramadan." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him to sit down, and he sat among the people. Then a man came with a donkey carrying a sack full of dates and said, "This is my charity, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Where is the one who got burnt?" The man said, "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Take this and give charity with it." The man asked, "Where should I give charity, O Messenger of Allah, except to myself and my family? By the One who sent you with the truth, I don't find anything for me and my family." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then take it." And the man took it.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ فَارِعِ أُجُمِ حَسَّانَ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ احْتَرَقْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ مَا شَأْنُكَ؟ قَالَ وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ قَالَتْ وَذَاكَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اجْلِسْ فَجَلَسَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقَوْمِ فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ بِحِمَارٍ عَلَيْهِ غِرَارَةٌ فِيهَا تَمْرٌ قَالَ هَذِهِصَدَقَتِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيْنَ الْمُحْتَرِقُ آنِفًا؟ فَقَالَ هَا هُوَ ذَا أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ قَالَ وَأَيْنَ الصَّدَقَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَّا عَلَيَّ وَلِي فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَجِدُ أَنَا وَعِيَالِي شَيْئًا قَالَ فَخُذْهَا فَأَخَذَهَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ drank a drink and handed it to her so she could drink from it. She said, "I am fasting but I dislike returning your saliva." He said, "What I mean is that if it is a make-up day from Ramadan, then fast a day in return, and if it is a voluntary fast, then if you wish, fast, and if you wish, do not fast."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ شَرِبَ شَرَابًا فَنَاوَلَهَا لِتَشْرَبَ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي صَائِمَةٌ وَلَكِنْ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ سُؤْرَكَ فَقَالَ يَعْنِي إِنْ كَانَ قَضَاءً مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَاقْضِي يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ تَطَوُّعًا فَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَاقْضِي وَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَلَا تَقْضِي  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered upon her while she was fasting. Then a vessel was brought to him and he drank from it, and also offered it to her and she drank from it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it is a missed fast from Ramadan, then fast another day instead. And if it is a voluntary fast, then if you wish, complete it, and if you wish, break it."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَهِيَ صَائِمَةٌ فَأُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهَا فَشَرِبَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كَانَ قَضَاءَ رَمَضَانَ فَصُومِي يَوْمًا آخَرَ وَإِنْ كَانَ تَطَوُّعًا فَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَاقْضِيهِ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَلَا تَقْضِيهِ»  

[Machine] That the Prophet entered upon her and a vessel was brought to him, and he drank from it. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, I was fasting, but I disliked to interupt your fasting." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it is a make-up fast from Ramadan, then make it up another day. And if it is a voluntary fast, then complete it. And if you wish, you may break it."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَأُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ فَشَرِبَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً وَلَكِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ سُؤْرَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كَانَ قَضَاءً مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَاقْضِيهِ يَوْمًا آخَرَ وَإِنْ كَانَ تَطَوُّعًا فَاقْضِيهِ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَلَا تَقْضِيِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered to me while I was fasting, and a container of milk was brought to him. He drank from it and then gave it to me. I drank from it and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I was fasting, but I disliked that I should return your saliva." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it is a day of Ramadan that you need to make up, then make it up another day. But if it is a day from other than Ramadan, then if you wish, make it up, and if you wish, do not make it up."  

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا صَائِمَةٌ فَأُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي فَشَرِبْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً وَلَكِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ سُؤْرَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَضَاءِ رَمَضَانَ فَاقْضِي يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِ قَضَاءِ رَمَضَانَ فَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَاقْضِي وَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَلَا تَقْضِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me, and I offered him a drink. He drank it or said he asked for a drink and drank, then he handed it to me and I drank. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I was fasting, but I did not want to refuse your cup." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it is a fast from Ramadan, then fast a day in its place. And if it is a voluntary fast, then if you wish, complete it, and if you wish, break it."  

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَعَوْتُ لَهُ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ أَوْ قَالَ دَعَا بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي فَشَرِبْتُ وَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً وَلَكِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ سُؤْرَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنْ كَانَ قَضَاءً مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَصُومِي يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ تَطَوُّعًا فَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَاقْضِي وَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَلَا تَقْضِي  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered upon me on the day of the conquest of Mecca and handed me his drink. I drank it and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I was fasting and I disliked to return your cup." He said, "If it is a make up fast from Ramadan, then fast one day instead. And if it is voluntary, then if you wish, complete it, and if you wish, do not complete it."  

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ فَنَاوَلَنِي فَضْلَ شَرَابِهِ فَشَرِبْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً وَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَرُدَّ سُؤْرَكَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ قَضَاءً مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَصُومِي يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ تَطَوُّعًا فَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَاقْضِيهِ وَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَلَا تَقْضِيهِ  

"إِنْ كَانَ قَضَاءً عَنْ رَمَضَان فَاقْض يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ تَطَوُّعًا فَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَاقْض وَإِن شئْت فَلَا تَقْضِى" .  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ used to kiss while he was fasting. Abu al-Mundhir said in Ramadan.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُقَبِّلُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ قَالَ أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ فِي رَمَضَانَ  

[Machine] "On the authority of Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , she said: "People used to pray in the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Ramadan at night in groups. A person would recite a portion of the Quran, and he would have with him five or six people, sometimes more or less, who would pray with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me one night to set up a mat for him at the door of my room. So I did, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to it after he had prayed the last evening prayer. Those who were in the mosque gathered around him, and he prayed with them for a long night. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left and entered the house, leaving the mat as it was. When the people woke up in the morning, they spoke about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with those who were with him in the mosque that night. And in the evening, the mosque was filled with people, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the last evening prayer with them. Then he entered his house, and the people stayed in their places. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, 'O Aisha, what is the matter with the people?' I said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, the people heard about your prayer last night with those who were in the mosque, so they gathered for you to pray with them.' He said, 'Get rid of your mat, O Aisha.' So I did, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent the night without being aware of it. The people stayed in their places until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out in the morning to dawn and said, 'O people, by Allah, I did not spend the night in heedlessness, and my location was not hidden from me. But I feared that it would be made obligatory upon you, so do as much acts of worship as you are able, for Allah does not become tired until you become tired.' Aisha used to say, 'The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are done consistently, even if they are few.'"  

عَوْفٍعَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ بِاللَّيْلِ أَوْزَاعًا يَكُونُ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ الشَّيْءُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَيَكُونُ مَعَهُ النَّفَرُ الْخَمْسَةُ أَوِ السِّتَّةُ أَوْ أَقَلُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَكْثَرُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاتِهِ قَالَتْ فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنْ أَنْصِبَ لَهُ حَصِيرًا عَلَى بَابِ حُجْرَتِي فَفَعَلْتُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ أَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ قَالَتْ فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ وَتَرَكَ الْحَصِيرَ عَلَى حَالِهِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ تَحَدَّثُوا بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَتْ وَأَمْسَى الْمَسْجِدُ رَاجًّا بِالنَّاسِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَثَبَتَ النَّاسُ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ يَا عَائِشَةُ؟ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سَمِعَ النَّاسُ بِصَلَاتِكَ الْبَارِحَةَ بِمَنْ كَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَشَدُوا لِذَلِكَ لِتُصَلِّيَ بِهِمْ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ اطْوِ عَنَّا حَصِيرَكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ قَالَتْ فَفَعَلْتُ وَبَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَيْرَ غَافِلٍ وَثَبَتَ النَّاسُ مَكَانَهُمْ حَتَّى خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصُّبْحِفَقَالَتْ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا بِتُّ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ غَافِلًا وَمَا خَفِيَ عَلَيَّ مَكَانُكُمْ وَلَكِنِّي تَخَوَّفْتُ أَنْ يُفْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا قَالَ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللهِ أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet to pledge allegiance to him. He stipulated that I testify that there is no god but Allah, Muhammad is His slave and messenger, and that I establish prayer, give Zakat, perform the Hajj pilgrimage, fast during the month of Ramadan, and strive in the cause of Allah. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, except for two things, I am unable to fulfill the requirements of Jihad and giving in charity. They say that whoever turns his back during a battle has earned the anger of Allah. I fear that if I witness such situations, my desires will overpower me and I will dislike death and giving in charity. By Allah, I have nothing except for booty and possessions. They are the messengers of my family." The Messenger of Allah then took his hand and moved it, then said, "Then there is no Jihad or giving in charity. So how will you enter Paradise?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I pledge allegiance to you." He said, "Then pledge allegiance to me with all of these conditions."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لِأُبَايِعَهُ قَالَ فَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيَّ شَهَادَةَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَنْ أُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْ أُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَنْ أَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَنْ أَصُومَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنْ أُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَوَاللهِ مَا أُطِيقُهُمَا الْجِهَادُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ فَإِنَّهُمْ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَلَّى الدُّبُرَ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللهِ فَأَخَافُ إِنْ حَضَرْتُ تِلْكَ جَشِعَتْ نَفْسِي وَكَرِهَتِ الْمَوْتَ وَالصَّدَقَةُ فَوَاللهِ مَا لِي إِلَّا غُنَيْمَةٌ وَعَشْرُ ذَوْدٍ هُنَّ رَسَلُ أَهْلِي وَحَمُولَتُهُمْ قَالَ فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ حَرَّكَ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ فَلَا جِهَادَ وَلَا صَدَقَةَ فَبِمَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِذًا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا أُبَايِعُكَ قَالَ فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَيْهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ  

[Machine] I heard the son of al-Khassasa saying, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to pledge allegiance to him upon Islam. So he stipulated for me, 'Bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, perform the five daily prayers, fast during Ramadan, give Zakat, perform Hajj, and strive in the cause of Allah.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! As for two of them, I cannot bear them. As for Zakat, I have nothing except ten camels, who are the messengers of my family and their burdens. As for Jihad, they claim that whoever turns away has earned the wrath of Allah. So when a battle is imminent, I dislike death and my soul becomes weak.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of his hand, then shook it and said, 'There is no charity or Jihad, so how will you enter paradise?' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! I pledge allegiance to you and will fulfill all of them.'"  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَةِ يَقُولُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِأُبَايِعَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيَّ «تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَتُصَلِّيَ الْخَمْسَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ وَتُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَلَا أُطِيقُهُمَا أَمَّا الزَّكَاةُ فَمَالِي إِلَّا عَشْرُ ذَوْدٍ هُنَّ رُسُلُ أَهْلِي وَحَمُولَتُهُمْ وَأَمَّا الْجِهَادُ فَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَلَّى فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَأَخَافُ إِذَا حَضَرَنِي قِتَالٌ كَرِهْتُ الْمَوْتَ وَخَشَعَتْ نَفْسِي قَالَ فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ حَرَّكَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَا صَدَقَةَ وَلَا جِهَادَ فَبِمَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟» قَالَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُبَايِعُكَ فَبَايَعَنِي عَلَيْهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ  

[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to pledge allegiance to him, and he stipulated for me the conditions to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, to establish the five daily prayers, to fast in Ramadan, to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity), to perform the Hajj pilgrimage, and to strive in the cause of Allah. So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, as for the two conditions, I am not capable of fulfilling them - the Zakat, for by Allah, all I possess is ten camels that are the sustenance and burdens of my family. And as for the Jihad, they claim that anyone who abandons it has incurred the wrath of Allah. So, when I fear encountering a battle, my soul becomes weak and I despise death.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grabbed my hand, shook it, then said, 'There is no charity nor Jihad that will enter Paradise?' So I pledged allegiance to him on all of these conditions."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أُبَايِعُهُ فَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيَّ «تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَتُصَلِّي الْخَمْسَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ وتُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَلَا أُطِيقُهُمَا الزَّكَاةُ فَوَاللهِ مَالِي إِلَّا عَشْرُ ذَوْدٍ هُنَّ رُسُلُ أَهْلِي وَحَمُولَتُهُمْ وَأَمَّا الْجِهَادُ فَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَلَّى فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللهِ فَأَخَافُ إِذَا حَضَرَنِي قِتَالٌ خَشَعَتْ نَفْسِي وَكَرِهْتُ الْمَوْتَ فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ فحَرَّكَها ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَا صَدَقَةَ وَلَا جِهَادَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟» فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَيْهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ  

[Machine] I heard Ibn al-Khasa'isah saying, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to pledge allegiance to him on Islam. He stipulated that I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and that I pray the five prayers, fast during Ramadan, give Zakat, perform Hajj, and strive in the cause of Allah. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I cannot bear two of them. As for Zakat, I do not have more than ten Dirhams. They are my family's messengers and their burdens. As for Jihad, they believe that whoever turns away from it has incurred the wrath of Allah. When I am about to face a battle, I dislike death and my soul becomes fearful.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then took hold of his hand and moved it and said, 'There is no Zakat or Jihad for you. How then will you enter Paradise?' He said, 'Then I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I pledge allegiance to you, so pledge allegiance to me on these,' and I motioned with my hand." This is the wording of Abu 'Abdullah's Hadith.  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَةِ ؓ يَقُولُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِأُبَايِعَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَتُصَلِّيَ الْخَمْسَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ وَتُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ وَتُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَلَا أُطِيقُهُمَا أَمَّا الزَّكَاةُ فَمَا لِي إِلَّا عَشْرُ ذَوْدٍ هُنَّ رَسَلُ أَهْلِي وَحَمُولَتُهُمْ وَأَمَّا الْجِهَادُ فَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَلَّى فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللهِ فَأَخَافُ إِذَا حَضَرَنِي قِتَالٌ كَرِهْتُ الْمَوْتَ وَخَشَعَتْ نَفْسِي قَالَ فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ حَرَّكَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا صَدَقَةَ وَلَا جِهَادَ فَبِمَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُبَايِعُكَ فَبَايَعَنِي عَلَيْهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ  

"عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ الْخَصَاصِيَة قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ لأُبَايِعَهُ فَقُلْتُ: عَلامَ تُبَايعُنِى يَارَسُولَ الله؟ فَمَدَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ: تَشْهدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ ورسُولُهُ، وَتُصَلِّى الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ لِوَقْتِهَا، وَتُؤَدِّى الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَتصُومُ رَمَضَانَ، وَتَحُجُّ البَيْتَ، وتُجَاهِدُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللهِ، قُلتُ: يَارَسُولَ الله! كُلاّ نُطيقُ إِلاَّ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَلاَ أُطِيقُهُمَا: الزَّكَاةَ واللهِ مَالِى إِلاَّ عَشْرُ ذُوْد (*) هُنَّ رُسُلُ أهْلِى وَحَمُولَتُهُنَّ، وَأَمَّا الجِهَادُ فَإِنِّى رجُلٌ جَبَانٌ وَتَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَلَّى فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللهِ، وَأَخَافُ إِنْ حَضَرَ القِتَالُ أَنْ أَخْشَعَ بِنَفْسِى فأَفِرَّ وأَبُوءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللهِ، فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ حَرّكَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا بَشِيرُ! لاَ صَدَقَةَ، وَلاَ جِهَادَ فَبِمَ إِذَنْ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قُلْتُ: يَارَسُولَ اللهِ! ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ أُبَايِعْكَ، فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَيْهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ".  

[Machine] The prayer (salat) has three states, and so does fasting (sawm). As for the states of prayer, it is narrated that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ came to Madinah and he prayed towards Beit Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for seventeen months. Then, Allah revealed the following verse to him: "Verily, We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad's) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid Al-Haram (at Makkah). And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in prayer) towards it" (Quran 2:144). Allah redirected him towards Makkah, and this became the first state. The people used to gather for prayer and call the Adhan to each other until it caused confusion. Then, a man named Abdullah bin Zaid, from the Ansar (Helpers), went to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I saw something in my dream. If I say that I did not sleep, I would be telling the truth. I was in between the state of sleeping and being awake, when I saw a person wearing two green garments. He faced the Qiblah and said 'Allahu Akbar' twice, then he said 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah' twice, and 'Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasul Allah' twice, then he completed the Adhan. He then waited for some time before saying the same words again, except that he added a few words. The prayers were about to be established, so tell Bilal to call the Adhan for us." Bilal was the first person to call the Adhan after that. Omar bin Al-Khattab then came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I had an experience similar to that of the one before me." Thereafter, the Messenger of Allah said, "There is a man among you who Allah has ordered to establish the prayer this way." This narration states three different states. As for fasting, when the Prophet came to Madinah, he fasted three days of each month. He said, "One may fast three days of each month, and when asked whether to increase that number, he said, "If you wish, you may fast. "Allah also revealed that fasting is obligatory. Allah says, "O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you" (Quran 2:183) until the verse that states that the reward of those who are unable to fast is to feed a poor person. This is

[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] 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".  

[Machine] I asked Aisha, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite the Qur'an in pairs?" She replied, "Yes, in a detailed manner." I then asked, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray while sitting?" She said, "Yes, after people began to crowd around him." I further asked, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray the Duha prayer?" She said, "No, unless he missed the morning prayer and it became a part of it." I asked, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fast for a whole month other than Ramadan?" She said, "No, by Allah, he would fast for a complete month other than Ramadan and he would not break his fast until he had fasted a day from it." I asked, "Who were the most beloved companions to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" She said, "Abu Bakr." I asked, "Then who?" She said, "Then Umar." I asked, "Then who?" She said, "Then Abu Ubaydah bin Jarrah." I asked, "Then who?" She remained silent.  

قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرِنُ السُّوَرَ؟ قَالَتْ الْمُفَصَّلَ قُلْتُ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ بَعْدَمَا حَطَمَهُ النَّاسُ قُلْتُ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى؟ قَالَتْ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَجِيءَ مِنْ مَغِيبِهِ قُلْتُ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ شَهْرًا سِوَى رَمَضَانَ؟ قَالَتْ لَا وَاللهِ إِنْ صَامَ شَهْرًا تَامًّا سِوَى رَمَضَانَ وَلَا أَفْطَرَهُ كُلَّهُ حَتَّى يَصُومَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا قُلْتُ أَيُّأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ؟ قَالَتْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَتْ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ قَالَ يَزِيدُ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتَتْ  

[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  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , prayed one night in the mosque during the month of Ramadan, and there were people with him. Then he prayed a second prayer, and more people gathered that night than the first. When the third or fourth prayer approached, the mosque became full until it was crowded with its people. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , did not come out to them, so the people began calling him for prayer, but he did not come out. When morning came, Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "The people were waiting for you last night, O Messenger of Allah!" He said, "It was not that their matter escaped me, but I feared that it would be made obligatory for them."  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَمَعَهُ نَاسٌ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الثَّانِيَةَ فَاجْتَمَعَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ الْأُولَى فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةُ امْتَلَأَ الْمَسْجِدُ حَتَّىاغْتَصَّ بِأَهْلِهِ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُنَادُونَهُ الصَّلَاةَ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَا زَالَ النَّاسُ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ الْبَارِحَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيَّ أَمْرُهُمْ وَلَكِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ تُكْتَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ  

[Machine] Aisha mentioned to us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend a night in the mosque during the month of Ramadan.  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ يَعْنِي صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ  

[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] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a certain need, and he asked, "Who are you?" I said, "Don't you recognize me?" He asked, "Who are you?" I said, "I am Al-Bahili, the one who came to you in the first year." He said, "Indeed, you came to me, and your body, color, and appearance are good, so what happened to you?" I said, "By Allah, I have not broken my fast since I last saw you except for one night." He asked, "Who commanded you to torture yourself?" I replied, "Three times, I tried to fast the entire month of Ramadan, but I found it difficult. However, I would like to increase my fasting." He said, "Then fast one day a month." I said, "I would like to increase." He said, "Then fast two days." I insisted on increasing, and he allowed me to fast three days a month. I persisted, and when I reached the third day, I found it difficult. I said, "I would like to increase." He said, "Then fast for three days a month. And don't fast more than that."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِحَاجَةٍ مَرَّةً فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ أَوَ مَا تَعْرِفُنِي؟ قَالَ وَمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ أَنَا الْبَاهِلِيُّ الَّذِي أَتَيْتُكَ عَامَ أَوَّلٍ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ أَتَيْتَنِي وَجِسْمُكَ وَلَوْنُكَ وَهَيْئَتُكَ حَسَنَةٌ فَمَا بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا أَرَى؟ فَقَالَ إِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا أَفْطَرْتُ بَعْدَكَ إِلَّا لَيْلًا قَالَ مَنْ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تُعَذِّبَ نَفْسَكَ؟ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ صُمْ شَهْرَ الصَّبْرِ رَمَضَانَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَزِيدَنِي قَالَ فَصُمْ يَوْمًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قُلْتُ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَزِيدَنِي قَالَ فَيَوْمَيْنِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قُلْتُ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَزِيدَنِي قَالَ وَمَا تَبْغِي عَنْ شَهْرِ الصَّبْرِ وَيَوْمَيْنِ فِي الشَّهْرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَزِيدَنِي قَالَ فَثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قَالَ وَأَلْحَمَ عِنْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ فَمَا كَادَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَزِيدَنِي قَالَ فَمِنَ الْحُرُمِ وَأَفْطِرْ  

[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 commanded us before the obligation of Zakat was revealed. Then Zakat was revealed, and we were neither prohibited from it nor commanded to do it, yet we still adhered to it. I asked him about fasting on the day of Ashura, and he said: the messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to fast on this day before the obligation of Ramadan was revealed. Then Ramadan was revealed, and we were neither commanded to fast on Ashura nor prohibited from it, yet we still fast on that day.  

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الزَّكَاةُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ فَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهَا وَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهَا وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهُ وَنَحْنُ نَفْعَلُهُ  

[Machine] Abu Basrah left Alexandria during Ramadan and brought his food with him. It was said to him, "Why did you leave our residences?" He replied, "Are you deviating from the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ ?" They said, "We continue to break our fast until we reach a certain place."  

أَنَّ أَبَا بَصْرَةَ خَرَجَ فِي رَمَضَانَ مِنَ الْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامِهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لَمْ تَغِبْ عَنَّا مَنَازِلُنَا بَعْدُ فَقَالَ أَتَرْغَبُونَ عَنْ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ فَمَا زِلْنَا مُفْطِرِينَ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا مَكَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah. I have performed the five daily prayers, paid the obligatory charity (Zakat), and fasted the month of Ramadan." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever dies upon this will be with the Prophets, the truthful ones, and the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection." He raised his index and middle fingers, indicating this, as long as his parents are not disbelievers.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ شَهِدْتُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَصَلَّيْتُ الْخَمْسَ وَأَدَّيْتُ زَكَاةَ مَالِي وَصُمْتُ شَهْرَرَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى هَذَا كَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ هَكَذَا وَنَصَبَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يُعَقَّ وَالِدَيْهِ  

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, what if I were to testify that there is no god except Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah, and I were to perform the five Ṣalawāt (obligatory ritual prayers), pay the Zakāh (obligatory charity), fast ˹the month of˺ Ramaḍān and stand ˹for night ṣalāh˺ in it, then whom I would be among? He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "From the Truthful ones and the Martyrs."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ شَهِدْتُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَصَلَّيْتُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَأَدَّيْتُ الزَّكَاةَ وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ وَقُمْتُهُ فَمِمَّنْ أَنَا؟ قَالَ «مِنَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ»  

"عَنْ عَمْروِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْجُهَنِّى قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُضَاعَةَ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ شَهِدْتُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله وَأَنَّكَ رسُولُ الله، وَصَلَّيْتُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَأَدَّيْتُ الزَّكَاة، وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ، وَقُمْتُهُ فَمَنْ أَنَا؟ قَالَ: أَنْتَ مِنَ الصِّدِّيقينَ وَالشُّهَداءِ، وَفِى لَفْظِ: قَالَ: مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى هَذَا كان مِنَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ".  

[Machine] I used to suffer from something that no one else suffered from, from women. He said, "When the month of Ramadan came, I became afraid and accused my wife of adultery in the month." He said, "While she was serving me one night, something was revealed to me from her, and I did not hesitate to take action against her. So I came to the Messenger of Allah and informed him. He said, "Set free a slave." I said, "By the One who sent you with the truth, I do not possess a slave except for my own." He said, "Then fast for two consecutive months." I said, "Did what happened to me only happen due to fasting?" He said, "Then feed sixty poor people."  

كُنْتُ امْرَأً أُصِيبُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَا يُصِيبُ غَيْرِي قَالَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ خِفْتُ فَتَظَاهَرْتُ مِنَ امْرَأَتِي فِي الشَّهْرِ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ تَخْدُمُنِي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ إِذْ تَكَشَّفَ لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ وَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ حَرِّرْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ قُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَمْلِكُ رَقَبَةً غَيْرَ رَقَبَتِي قَالَ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ وَهَلْ أَصَابَنِي الَّذِي أَصَابَنِي إِلَّا مِنَ الصِّيَامِ؟ قَالَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا  

[Machine] "They brought some donkeys in Ramadan and I guessed there were eight or nine or ten pounds. Mujahid said, Aisha narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ghusl with an amount like this."  

جَاءُوا بِعُسٍّ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَحَزَرْتُهُ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَوْ تِسْعَةَ أَوْ عَشْرَةَ أَرْطَالٍ فَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا  

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had ten days left of Ramadan, he would tighten his waist cloth and seclude himself from his family."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَقِيَ عَشْرٌ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ وَاعْتَزَلَ أَهْلَهُ  

[Machine] "When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ entered the last ten nights of Ramadan, he used to wake up his family, tighten his waist belt, and stay up all night in worship."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ الْأَوَاخِرُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ أَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ وَأَحْيَا اللَّيْلَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to revive the nights and wake up his family during the last ten nights of Ramadan, and he would tighten his waist belt.  

ؓ تَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْعَشْرُ الْأَوَاخِرُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ أَحْيَا اللَّيْلَ وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ  

[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] 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] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "My nation has been granted five qualities in the month of Ramadan that no previous nation has been granted: the foul smell from the mouth of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk, the angels seek forgiveness for them until they break their fast, Allah adorns His Garden every day and then says, 'Soon my righteous servants will be rid of their wants and afflictions and will turn to You, and Satan's efforts against them will be in vain, so they will not reach what they used to reach before in other months.' and they will be forgiven on the last night.' It was asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, is it the Night of Decree?' He said, 'No, but the rewards of a worker are only given to him when he completes his work.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُعْطِيَتْ أُمَّتِي خَمْسَ خِصَالٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ لَمْ تُعْطَهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَهُمْ خُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ وَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرُوا وَيُزَيِّنُ اللهُ ﷻ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ جَنَّتَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يُوشِكُ عِبَادِي الصَّالِحُونَ أَنْ يُلْقُوا عَنْهُمُ الْمَئُونَةَ وَالْأَذَى وَيَصِيرُوا إِلَيْكِ وَيُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ مَرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فَلَا يَخْلُصُوا فِيهِ إِلَى مَا كَانُوا يَخْلُصُونَ إِلَيْهِ فِي غَيْرِهِ وَيُغْفَرُ لَهُمْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ 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".  

[Machine] He asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the Night of Decree, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Look for it in the last ten nights of Ramadan, for it is in odd nights, in the twenty-first or twenty-third, or twenty-fifth, or twenty-seventh, or twenty-ninth, or the last night. Whoever stands in prayer during it, seeking its reward with faith and expecting its reward, his previous sins will be forgiven."  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَإِنَّهَا فِي وَتْرٍ فِي إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍوَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ فَمَنْ قَامَهَا ابْتِغَاءَهَا إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا ثُمَّ وُفِّقَتْ لَهُ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ
