[Machine] I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the expedition of Tabuk, and I saw an opportunity, so I took advantage of it. I tied my camel and rode it until I caught up with him. Then I said, "O Messenger of Allah, teach me an action that will admit me into Paradise." He said, "You have asked about something great, yet it is easy for the one whom Allah makes it easy for. Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayers, pay the obligatory zakah, and fast in Ramadan." Then he walked away, and I followed him.

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكٍ فَرَأَيْتُ خَلْوَةً فَاغْتَنَمْتُهَا فَأَوْضَعْتُ بَعِيرِي نَحْوَهُ حَتَّى سَايَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلِّمْنِي عَمَلًا يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَظِيمًا وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ سَارَ وَسِرْتُ

[Machine] I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Battle of Tabuk, and I saw a private place, so I took advantage of it and put my camel towards it until I used it. Then I said, "O Messenger of Allah, teach me a deed that will admit me to Jannah (Paradise)." He said, "You have asked about a great matter, yet it is easy for one for whom Allah makes it easy. Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayers, pay the obligatory charity, and observe the fast of Ramadan." Then he walked away, and I followed him.

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكٍ فَرَأَيْتُ خَلْوَةً فَاغْتَنَمْتُهَا فَأَوْضَعْتُ بَعِيرِي نَحْوَهُ حَتَّى سَايَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلِّمْنِي عَمَلًا يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَظِيمًا وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ سَارَ وَسِرْتُ

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about an action that will enter me into Paradise and distance me from the Fire." He said, "You asked about something great, yet it is easy for those whom Allah has made it easy. Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayers, pay the obligatory charity, and fast during Ramadan. And if you want, I will inform you about the gates of goodness." I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Fasting is a shield, charity erases sins, and a person's standing in prayer at the depths of the night seeking the face of Allah." Then he recited this verse, "Their sides forsake their beds," (Surah As-Sajdah, 32:16).

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْبِئْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَالَ «سَأَلْتُ عَنْ عَظِيمٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْبَأْتُكَ بِأَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ» قُلْتُ أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُكَفِّرُ الْخَطِيئَةَ وَقِيَامُ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ يَبْتَغِي وَجْهَ اللهِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ}

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about a deed that will admit me into Jannah and distances me from the Fire." He said, "You have asked about something great, yet it is easy for whoever Allah makes it easy for him. Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayers, give the obligatory charity, and observe fasting in the month of Ramadan. And if you wish, I shall inform you about the gates of good." I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sins like water extinguishes fire, and the standing of a person in prayer during the depths of the night seeking the face of Allah." Then he recited the verse, "Their sides forsake their beds..." (Quran, 32:16).

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْبِئْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَالَ «سَأَلْتُ عَنْ عَظِيمٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْبَأْتُكَ بِأَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ» قُلْتُ أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُكَفِّرُ الْخَطِيئَةَ وَقِيَامُ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ يَبْتَغِي وَجْهَ اللهِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ}

[Machine] There was an Arab who took hold of the reins of the Prophet's camel and said, "O Prophet of Allah, guide me to an action that will bring me close to Paradise and distance me from the Hellfire." The Prophet replied, "You have asked a concise question. Worship Allah alone and do not associate any partners with Him. Perform the five daily prayers, observe fasting in Ramadan, and dislike for others what you dislike for yourself."

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَأَخَذَ بِخِطَامِ نَاقَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُنِي مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ «لَقَدْ أَوْجَزْتَ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ وَلَقَدْ أَعْرَضْتَ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُصَلِّي الْخَمْسَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَمَا كَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْكَ فَاكْرَهَهُ لَهُمْ»

"لَقدْ أَوْجَزْتَ في الْمسْأَلَةِ وَلَقَدْ أَعْرضْتَ: تَعْبُدُ اللهَ لا تُشْركُ به شيئًا، وتُصلى الْخَمَس، وتَصُومُ رمضانَ، وَمَا كَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَأتِيَه النَّاسُ إِلَيكَ فَاكْرَهْهُ لَهمُ".

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever prays these five prayers and fasts in the month of Ramadan, I do not know if he has mentioned his charity or not. It is the right of Allah to forgive him whether he emigrates or stays where his mother bore him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, shouldn't I go out and announce it to the people?" He said, "No, leave the people to do their work, for paradise has one hundred degrees, and between each degree is like the distance between heaven and earth. The highest of its degrees is Al-Firdaus."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ صَلَّى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَصَامَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ لَا أَدْرِي ذَكَرَ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ أَمْ لَا كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُ إِنْ هَاجَرَ أَوْ قَعَدَ حَيْثُ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أَخْرُجُ فَأُوذِنُ النَّاسَ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا ذَرِ النَّاسَ يَعْمَلُونَ فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا مِثْلُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَأَعْلَى دَرَجَةٍ مِنْهَا الْفِرْدَوْسُ»

[Machine] Abdullah said, "Verily, it is a day that we used to fast before Ramadan."

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّمَا هُوَ يَوْمٌ كُنَّا نَصُومُهُ قَبْلَ رَمَضَانَ»

[Machine] You were in a state of ritual impurity, so it was not permissible for you to pray. After you performed ablution (ritual washing), prayer became permissible for you, and fasting also became valid so you may observe it.

«كُنْتَ جُنُبًا لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ الصَّلَاةُ فَاغْتَسَلْتَ فَحَلَّتْ لَكَ الصَّلَاةُ وَحَلَّ لَكَ الصِّيَامُ فَصُمْ»

[Machine] He came to the mosque after they prayed Fajr, and said to them, "This happened to me during Ramadan, I became sick from my family and then my eyes weakened. So, I woke up without having taken a ritual bath. What do you think?" The people said to him, "We only see that you have broken your fast, so go to Abdullah ibn Mas'ood and ask him, for he is better than you or more knowledgeable." Abdullah ibn Mas'ood said to them, "Breaking the fast is only from consuming food and drink, so complete your fasting."

أَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الْحَيِّ بَعْدَمَا صَلَّوُا الْفَجْرَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ وَذَاكَ فِي رَمَضَانَ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِي ثُمَّ غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فَأَصْبَحَتُ وَلَمْ أَغْتَسِلْ فَمَا تَرَوْنَ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَوْمُ مَا نَرَاكَ إِلَّا قَدْ أَفْطَرْتَ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَتَيْتُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكُمْ أَوْ أَفْقَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا الْإِفْطَارُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ فَأَتَمَّ صَوْمَكَ»

[Machine] O Abu Abdurrahman, indeed I was in a state of major impurity (janabah) and did not perform the ritual purification (ghusl) until morning came. So Abdullah said, "You were in a state of major impurity, so the prayer was not permissible for you. But since you have performed the ritual purification, the prayer is permissible for you and fasting is also permissible for you." And that was during Ramadan.

يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا فَلَمِ اغْتَسَلْ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «كُنْتَ جُنُبًا لَا تَحِلُّ لَكَ الصَّلَاةُ فَاغْتَسَلْتَ فَحَلَّتْ لَكَ الصَّلَاةُ وَحَلَّ لَكَ الصِّيَامُ» وَذَلِكَ فِي رَمَضَانَ

[Machine] Ubayy (may Allah have mercy on Abu Abdur-Rahman), knew that it was in the month of Ramadan on the twenty-seventh night, but he preferred not to rely on it.

أُبَيٌّ «رَحِمَ اللهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي لَيْلَةِ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَكِنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ لَا يَتَّكِلُوا»

[Machine] Whoever observes the entire month of Ramadan, he will surely catch its Night of Power. So, I arrived at Medina and mentioned this to Ubayy, who said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, I know which night it is that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to observe." So, I asked him about it, and he said, "It is the twenty-seventh night." Abdullah said, "So, if the month is thirty days, we would observe three nights after it, and if it is twenty-nine days, we would observe two nights after it."

مَنْ قَامَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ أَدْرَكَهَا قَالَ فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأُبُيٍّ فَقَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَيَّ لَيْلَةٍ هِي اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِقِيَامِهَا» قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ «لَيْلَةُ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ» قَالَ عَبْدَةُ «فَإِذَا كَانَ الشَّهْرُ ثَلَاثِينَ قُمْنَا بَعْدَهَا ثَلَاثًا وَإِذَا كَانَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ قُمْنَا بَعْدَهَا لَيْلَتَيْنِ»

[Machine] Abdullah used to pray with us in Ramadan and then leave at night.

«كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يُصَلِّي بِنَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ بِلَيْلٍ»

[Machine] Abdullah is the master of the months of Ramadan and the master of the day of Friday.

عَبْدُ اللهِ «سَيِّدُ الشُّهُورِ رَمَضَانُ وَسَيِّدُ الْأَيَّامِ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ»

"سيِّدُ الشُّهُورِ: شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ، وَسِيِّدُ الأَيَّام يَوْمُ الجُمُعَة".

[Machine] In his saying {On the day of Furqan, the day the two groups met}, he said, "It was on the seventeenth night of Ramadan."

فِي قَوْلِهِ {§يَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ} قَالَ «كَانَتْ بَدْرُ لِسَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ مَضَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ»

[Machine] "He used to read the Quran on Fridays and he used to read it three times in Ramadan."

أَنَّهُ «كَانَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ ويَقْرَأُهُ فِي رَمَضَانَ ثَلَاثًا»

[Machine] The matter of those two days...

شَأْنُ ذَيْنِكَ الْيَوْمَيْنِ

[Machine] I asked Ibn Mas'ud about a year, and he said, "I have never seen him fasting on any day except in Ramadan. He used to drink intense wine in a green jug."

اخْتَلَفْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ سَنَةً «فَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَائِمًا يَوْمًا قَطُّ إِلَّا فِي رَمَضَانَ وَكَانَ يَشْرَبُ النَّبِيذَ الشَّدِيدَ فِي جَرٍّ أَخْضَرَ»

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , they said, "At Arafah, I approached him (the Messenger of Allah). I went near him until my camel's neck was close to his camel's neck. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me what will save me from the punishment of Allah and admit me into His Paradise.' He said, 'Worship Allah alone and do not associate anything with Him. Establish the prescribed prayers, give the obligatory charity, perform the pilgrimage and Umrah. I also think he said, 'Observe fasting in Ramadan and see what actions you prefer people to come to you with, so do those with them, and what actions you do not like people to come to you with, then refrain from those.'" "Ibn 'Awn (one of the narrators) was uncertain in the chain of narration for this hadith and he did not accurately report it from Muhammad bin Juhadah, but Hammam accurately reported it."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا بِعَرَفَةَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَذَهَبْتُ أَدْنُو مِنْهُ حَتَّى اجْتَازَ عُنُقُ رَاحِلَتِي عُنُقَ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلِّمْنِي بِمَا يُنَجِّينِي مِنْ عَذَابِ اللهِ وَيُدْخِلُنِي جَنَّتَهُ فَقَالَ «اعْبُدِ اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَأَدِّ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَحِجَّ وَاعْتَمِرْ» وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ «وَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَانْظُرْ مَا تُحِبُّ لِلنَّاسِ أَنْ يَأْتُوهُ إِلَيْكَ فَافْعَلْهُ بِهِمْ وَمَا تَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَأْتُوهُ إِلَيْكَ فَذَرْهُمْ مِنْهُ» «اضْطَرَبَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ فِي إِسْنَادِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَلَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُحَادَةَ وَضَبَطَهُ هَمَّامٌ»

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , they said at Arafat, "So I came to him and I approached him until my camel's neck passed his camel's neck. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me what will save me from the punishment of Allah and admit me into His Paradise.' He said, 'Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayers, give the prescribed charity, perform Hajj and Umrah, and fast during Ramadan. Also, look at what you desire for people to bring to you and do it for them, and what you dislike for them to bring to you, refrain from doing it to them.'" "Ibn Awn was uncertain in the chain of narration of this Hadith, and it was authenticated by Hammam."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا بِعَرَفَةَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَذَهَبْتُ أَدْنُو مِنْهُ حَتَّى اجْتَازَ عُنُقُ رَاحِلَتِي عُنُقَ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلِّمْنِي بِمَا يُنَجِّينِي مِنْ عَذَابِ اللهِ وَيُدْخِلُنِي جَنَّتَهُ فَقَالَ «اعْبُدِ اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَأَدِّ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَحِجَّ وَاعْتَمِرْ» وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ «وَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَانْظُرْ مَا تُحِبُّ لِلنَّاسِ أَنْ يَأْتُوهُ إِلَيْكَ فَافْعَلْهُ بِهِمْ وَمَا تَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَأْتُوهُ إِلَيْكَ فَذَرْهُمْ مِنْهُ» «اضْطَرَبَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ فِي إِسْنَادِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَلَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُحَادَةَ وَضَبَطَهُ هَمَّامٌ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be a voice in Ramadan." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, in its beginning, or in its middle, or in its end?" He said, "No, but in the middle of Ramadan, on the night of the half of the month, which is the night of Friday, there will be a voice from the sky that will stun seventy thousand people, deafen seventy thousand people, blind seventy thousand people, and mute seventy thousand people." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, who will be saved from your Ummah?" He said, "The one who stays in his house, seeks refuge in prostration, and loudly recites the Takbir (proclaiming the greatness of Allah), then another voice will follow, and the first voice is the voice of Gabriel, and the second voice is the voice of Satan. So the voice will be heard in Ramadan, and chaos will be in Shawwal, and tribes will be distinguished in Dhu al-Qidah, and the pilgrims will be envied in Dhu al-Hijjah, and in Muharram is what is Muharram? Its beginning is a test for my Ummah, and its end is happiness for my Ummah. The saved one among them is like someone who is saved from a decrepit old house that is about to collapse and will bury a hundred thousand people."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَكُونُ فِي رَمَضَانَ صَوْتٌ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ أَو فِي وَسَطِهِ أَو فِي آخِرِهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ النِّصْفِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَكُونُ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يُصْعَقُ لَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا وَيُخْرَسُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا وَيُعْمَى سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا وَيُصِمُّ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَنِ السَّالِمُ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ لَزِمَ بَيْتَهُ وَتَعَوَّذَ بِالسُّجُودِ وَجَهَرَ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ لِلَّهِ ثُمَّ يَتْبَعُهُ صَوْتٌ آخَرُ وَالصَّوْتُ الْأَوَّلُ صَوْتُ جِبْرِيلَ وَالثَّانِي صَوْتُ الشَّيْطَانِ فَالصَّوْتُ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَالمَعْمَعَةُ فِي شَوَّالٍ وَتُمَيَّزُ الْقَبَائِلُ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ وَيَغَارُ عَلَى الْحُجَّاجِ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَفِي الْمُحْرِمِ وَمَا الْمُحْرَّمُ؟ أَوَّلُهُ بَلَاءٌ عَلَى أُمَّتِي وَآخِرُهُ فَرَحٌ لِأُمَّتِي الرَّاحِلَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ بِقَتَبِهَا يَنْجُو عَلَيْهَا الْمُؤْمِنُ لَهُ مِنْ دَسْكَرَةٍ تَغُلُّ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ»

[Machine] To have Ramadan descend, so when Ramadan descended, we were not commanded with it and were not forbidden from it, and we used to fast it. And we were commanded to give half a sa' (unit of measurement) of food for every free man or slave, whether young or old, male or female. So when Zakat (charity) was revealed, we were not commanded with it and were not forbidden from it, and we used to pay it.

أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ لَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهُ وَكُنَّا نَصُومُهُ وَأُمِرْنَا بِنِصْفِ صَاعٍ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ حُرٍّ وَعَبْدٍ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ أَو ذَكَرٍ أَو أُنْثَى فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الزَّكَاةُ لَمْ نُؤْمَرْ بِهِ وَلَمْ نُنْهَ عَنْهُ وَكُنَّا نُخْرِجُهُ

[Machine] I heard Qais ibn al-Sa'ib saying, "Indeed, the month of Ramadan is a month in which a person seeks redemption. In it, they feed a needy person every day. So feed a needy person on my behalf for every day with a saa' (measurement of food). And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a partner with me in the pre-Islamic era, so the best partner is one who does not dispute or compete."

سَمِعْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ السَّائِبِ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ يَفْتَدِي بِهِ الْإِنْسَانُ يُطْعِمُ فِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينًا فَأَطْعِمُوا عَنِّي مِسْكِينًا لِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَاعًا وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَرِيكًا لِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَخَيْرُ شَرِيكٍ لَا يُمَارِي وَلَا يُسَارِي»

[Machine] I was in a state of janabah in the city during the month of Ramadan, so I woke up in a state of junub. I went to Abu Hurairah and mentioned it to him, and he said, "Break your fast." I said, "Should I fast my day and make it up later?" He said, "No, break your fast." So I went to Marwan ibn Al-Hakam, who was the governor of the city, and mentioned it to him. He sent Abu Bakr ibn Abdur Rahman ibn Al-Hakam to Aisha and asked her about it. Aisha replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wake up in a state of janabah during the month of Ramadan without having had a wet dream, and would continue his fast." Abu Bakr then went to Marwan and informed him of what Aisha had said. Marwan said to him, "I had intended to meet you and tell you to go to Abu Hurairah and inform him of what Aisha said." So I went and informed Abu Hurairah of Aisha's statement, and he said, "I did not hear this directly from the Prophet ﷺ , but it was informed to me by Al-Fadl ibn Abbas." Ibn Awn said, "So I asked Raja' ibn Haywah, 'Who informed you of this hadith?'" He replied, 'Ya'la narrated it to me."

أَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَأَصْبَحَتُ جُنُبًا فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «أَفْطِرْ» قُلْتُ أَصُومُ يَوْمِي وَأَقْضِي يَوْمًا مَكَانَهُ؟ قَالَ «لَا أَفْطِرْ» فَأَتَيْتُ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ وَهُوَ أَمِيرٌ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ فَبَعَثَ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصْبِحُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ احْتِلَامٍ فَيَمْضِي عَلَى صِيَامِهِ» فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ أَلَا لَقِيتَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتَهُ بِقَوْلِ عَائِشَةَ فَلَقِيتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ فَقُلْتُ لرجاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ عَنْ يَعْلَى بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ؟ قَالَ إِيَّايَ حَدَّثَ يَعْلَى بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on the pulpit during Ramadan and said, "I have stood on this pulpit and I know the Night of Qadr. So seek it in the last ten nights, on the odd nights."

قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَطَبَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «قَدْ قُمْتُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْوِتْرِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Aisha bint Abu Bakr in Shawwal and consummated the marriage with her in Medina during Shawwal, after sixteen months of his migration to Medina. Aisha passed away on the night of Tuesday, in the seventeenth night of Ramadan, after the Witr prayer, in the fifty-eighth year. She was buried on the same night.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «تَزَوَّجَ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي شَوَّالٍ وَأَعْرَسَ بِهَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي شَوَّالٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا مِنْ مُهَاجَرِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَتُوُفِّيَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَيْلَةَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ لِسَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ مَضَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَدُفِنَتْ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهَا»

[Machine] On the authority of Nafi and others from the people of knowledge, they said: "We performed prayer upon Aisha and Umm Salamah, the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, in the middle of Al-Baqi' cemetery, and Abu Hurayrah was the Imam (leading the prayer) on the day that we prayed upon Aisha. Abdullah ibn Umar attended, and Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr and Abdurrahman ibn Abi Bakr entered the grave of Aisha. She passed away in the year sixty-eight during the month of Ramadan, seventeen nights had passed after the Witr prayer, and she was buried on the same night."

عَنْ نَافِعٍ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ قَالُوا صَلَّيْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَيِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَسَطَ الْبَقِيعِ وَالْإِمَامُ يَوْمَ صَلَّيْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَحَضَرَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَدَخَلَ فِي قَبْرِ عَائِشَةَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَعُرْوَةُ ابْنَا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَمَاتَتْ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ فِي رَمَضَانَ لِسَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ مَضَتْ مِنْهُ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ وَدُفِنَتْ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهَا

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

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ وَرَمَضَانَ»

[Machine] O people, a man has passed away among you tonight who was not preceded by the earlier generations and will not be followed by the later ones. He was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , whom Allah sent as a Messenger. Jibril enveloped him from his right and Mika'il from his left. He did not bend until they opened for him what he left behind, except for seven hundred dirhams which he intended to buy a servant with. This happened on the night when 'Isa ibn Maryam ascended, the twenty-seventh night of Ramadan.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ قُبِضَ فِيكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَسْبِقْهُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَلَا يُدْرِكُهُ الْآخِرُونَ قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَبْعَثُهُ الْمَبْعَثَ فَيَكْتَنِفُهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ لَا يَنْثَنِي حَتَّى يُفْتَحَ لَهُمْ مَا تَرَكَ إِلَّا سَبْعَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَ بِهَا خَادِمًا وَقَدْ قُبِضَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي عَرَجَ فِيهَا عِيسَى بْنُ مَرْيَمَ لَيْلَةِ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no day that has more virtue than the day of fasting except for the month of Ramadan and the day of Ashura."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَ لِيَوْمٍ فَضْلٌ عَلَى يَوْمٍ فِي الصِّيَامِ إِلَّا شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَيَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ»

"لَيسَ لِيَوْمٍ فَضْلٌ عَلَى يَوْمٍ في الصِّيَامِ إِلَّا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ وَيَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ".

[Machine] I entered upon Ibn Mas'ud on the day of Ashura while he was eating a date, and he said, "This is the day of Ashura, a day on which we were commanded to fast before the month of Ramadan was revealed."

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ رُطَبًا فَقَالَ «هَذَا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمٌ أُمِرْنَا بِصِيَامِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ»

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ used to strive to fast on the day of Ashura, as he did not give preference to any other day after Ramadan.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «لَمْ يَكُنْ يَتَوَخَّى فَضْلَ يَوْمٍ عَلَى يَوْمٍ بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ إِلَّا يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never fasted on a day seeking its virtue over another day, except for the day of Ashura.

«مَا صَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا يَتَحَرَّى فَضْلَهُ عَلَى يَوْمٍ بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ إِلَّا يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray twenty units (rak'ahs) and the odd (witr) during Ramadan.

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يُصَلِّي فِي رَمَضَانَ عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً وَالْوِتْرَ»

[Machine] I came to Abdullah bin Masood and said, "Some people in the neighborhood and some of our neighbors are fasting today." He asked, "Did they see the crescent?" I said, "No." He said, "Because it is more beloved to me to break my fast for a day in Ramadan and then make it up, than to fast for a day in Sha'ban."

أَتَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقُلْتُ صَامَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَنَاسٌ مِنْ جِيرَانِنَا الْيَوْمَ قَالَ «عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ الْهِلَالِ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «لَأَنْ أُفْطِرَ يَوْمًا مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَقْضِيَهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَصُومَ يَوْمًا مِنْ شَعْبَانَ»

[Machine] Seek the night of Al-Qadr in the seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first nights of Ramadan, during the pre-dawn of the day of Badr, the day of the great distinction, the day the two groups met. It cannot occur except in an odd-numbered night.

الْتَمِسُوا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ لِسَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ صَبِيحَةَ يَوْمِ بَدْرٍ {يَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ} وَفِي إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَفِي ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَكُونُ إِلَّا فِي وِتْرٍ

[Machine] He informed him that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Fast Ramadan and the day after it, and every Wednesday and Thursday, then you have fasted for the entire lifetime." Ibrahim Muslim ibn Ubaidullah said.

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «صُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَكُلَّ يَوْمِ أَرْبِعَاءَ وَخَمِيسٍ فَإِذًا أَنْتَ قَدْ صُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ» وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about fasting three times. He said, "Fast the month of Ramadan and the month after it, and fast on Wednesdays and Thursdays, then you will have fasted the whole year and have broken the fast."

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصِّيَامِ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ «صُمْ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَيَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَالْخَمِيسِ فَإِذًا أَنْتَ قَدْ صُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ وَأَفْطَرْتَ»

"صُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَالَّذِى يَلِيهِ، وَكُلَّ أَرْبَعَاءَ وَخَميسٍ، فَإِذَا أَنْتَ صُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ كلَّهُ وَأَفْطَرْتَ".

[Machine] "I visited Ibn Mas'ood from one Ramadan to the next, and I never saw him on any day except that I would meet him. I never saw him fasting on a day except for the day of Ashura."

«أَتَيْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فِيمَا بَيْنَ رَمَضَانَ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ إِلَّا آتِيهِ فِيهِ فَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي يَوْمٍ صَائِمًا إِلَّا يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ»

[Machine] "He (the person speaking) came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'Indeed, my mother Maqil has been prevented from performing Hajj with you, so what should she do?' He (the Messenger) said, 'Perform Umrah during Ramadan.' He (the person speaking) said, 'I have a camel that I have designated for the sake of Allah; can I give it to her so she can ride it?' He (the Messenger) said, 'Yes.'"

أَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّ مَعْقِلٍ جَعَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا حَجَّةً مَعَكَ فَلَمْ يَتَيَسَّرْ لَهَا ذَلِكَ فَمَا يُجْزِئُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ «عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ» قَالَ فَإِنَّ عِنْدِي جَمَلًا جَعَلْتُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَبِيسًا فَأُعْطِيهَا إِيَّاهُ فَتَرْكَبُهُ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»

[Machine] "It was revealed on the day it was revealed, meaning, upon the Prophet, ﷺ , while we were traveling in hunger and we would rest without feeling satiated. And today, we travel while being satiated and we rest while feeling satiated."

«إِنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ يَوْمَ نَزَلَتْ يَعْنِي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَرْتَحِلُ جِيَاعًا وَنَنْزِلُ عَلَى غَيْرِ شِبَعٍ وَالْيَوْمَ نَرْتَحِلُ شِبَاعًا وَنَنْزِلُ عَلَى شِبَعٍ»

[Machine] Abu Abdulrahman Abu Hariz is weak in hadith and I do not know him well. Hamza, Abu Hariz, Abdullah ibn Al-Husain, the judge of Sistan, said.

أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو حَرِيزٍ ضَعِيفٌ الْحَدِيثِ وَأَيْفَعَ لَا أَعْرِفُهُ قَالَ حَمْزَةُ أَبُو حَرِيزٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ قَاضِي سِجِسْتَانَ

"The Messenger of Allah would fast until we said he would not break his fast, and he would not fast until we said he does not want to fast. And he never fasted any month in full apart from Ramadan, from the time he came to Al-Madinah." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2346)

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ وَمَا صَامَ شَهْرًا مُتَتَابِعًا غَيْرَ رَمَضَانَ مُنْذُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever fasts Ramadhan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if they have fasted the entire year." Abu Abdullah Al-Rahman said, "This is a mistake, and the correct statement is from Umar Ibn Thabit."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ بِسِتٍّ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ فَقَدْ صَامَ الدَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالصَّوَابُ عُمَرُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ

[Machine] Narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if he fasted the entire year." Abu Abdur-Rahman Saad ibn Sa'id said, "It is a weak narration." Likewise, Ahmad ibn Hanbal said, "They are three brothers: Yahya ibn Sa'id ibn Qays, who is trustworthy and reliable, and Abdul Rabih ibn Sa'id, who is also acceptable, and Saad ibn Sa'id, the third, who is weak."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَسِتَّةً مِنْ شَوَّالٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا صَامَ الدَّهْرَ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ضَعِيفٌ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةُ إِخْوَةٍ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الثِّقَةُ الْمَأْمُونُ أَحَدُ الْأَئِمَّةِ وَعَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَسَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثَالِثُهُمْ ضَعِيفٌ

[Machine] We fought alongside Abu Ayyub and observed the fast during Ramadan. When we broke our fast, he stood among the people and said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted the entire year.'" Abu Abdurrahman Utbah ibn Abi Hakim remarked, "This saying is not strong." Muhammad ibn Abdul Karim ibn Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Huwaytib ibn Abdul Azeez al-Harani informed me, "Uthman, the son of Amr al-Harani, told us that Umar, meaning the son of Thabit, narrated to us from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, who narrated from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said similar words." Abu Abdurrahman said, "I have seen this sheikh with books regarding other matters, and these hadiths resemble the hadiths of Muhammad ibn Abi Humayd. I am not sure if he heard them from Muhammad or from those elderly scholars. As for the sheikh, he used to narrate from him without mentioning Muhammad ibn Abi Humayd. So, if these hadiths are his narrations from those elderly scholars and he did not hear them from Muhammad, then he is weak. As for Uthman and Muhammad ibn Abi Humayd, they are not significant in the hadith."

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ فَصَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَصُمْنَا فَلَمَّا أَفْطَرْنَا قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَصَامَ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ كَانَ كَصِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ [241] 2880 أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُوَيْطِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى الْحَرَّانِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا الشَّيْخُ رَأَيْتُ عِنْدَهُ كُتُبًا فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا فَإِذَا أَحَادِيثُهُ تُشْبِهُ أَحَادِيثَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي أَكَانَ سَمَاعُهُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ أَمْ كَانَ سَمَاعُهُ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ الْمَشْيَخَةِ؟ فَأَمَّا الشَّيْخُ فَكَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْهُ وَلَا يَذْكُرُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ تِلْكَ الْأَحَادِيثُ أَحَادِيثَهُ عَنْ أُولَئِكَ الْمَشْيَخَةِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ فَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ يَعْنِي عُثْمَانَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ فِي الْحَدِيثِ
