It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ أَىُّ الصِّيَامِ أَفْضَلُ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ
" شَهْرُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي تَدْعُونَهُ الْمُحَرَّمَ " .
“A man came to the Prophet
(ﷺ)
and said: ‘Which fasting is better after the month of Ramadan?’
He said: ‘The month of Allah which is called Muharram.’”
Chapter 44: Fasting is the Zakat of the body - كتاب الصيام
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْعَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ جُمْهَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ زَكَاةٌ وَزَكَاةُ الْجَسَدِ الصَّوْمُ " . زَادَ مُحْرِزٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " الصِّيَامُ نِصْفُ الصَّبْرِ " .
“For everything there is Zakat and the Zakat of the body is
fasting.”
(A narrator in one of the chains) Muhriz added in
his narration: "And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
'Fasting is half of patience.'"
Chapter 45: Concerning the reward of the one who gives food for a fasting person to break his fast - كتاب الصيام
It was
narrated from Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani that the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، وَخَالِي، يَعْلَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا " .
“Whoever gives food for a fasting person to break
his
fast, he will have a reward like theirs, without that detracting
from
their reward in the slightest.”
Chapter 45: Concerning the reward of the one who gives food for a fasting person to break his fast - كتاب الصيام
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Zubair said:
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى اللَّخْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ أَفْطَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عِنْدَ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ
" أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الأَبْرَارُ وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ " .
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) broke his fast with Sa’d bin Mu’adh and said: ‘Aftara
‘indakumus-saimun, wa akala ta’amakumul-abrar, wa sallat
‘alaikumul-
mala’ikah (May fasting people break their fast with
you, may the
righteous eat your food, and may the angels send
blessing upon you).”
Chapter 46: Concerning the fasting person when others are eating in his presence - كتاب الصيام
It was
narrated that Umm ‘Umarah said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَسَهْلٌ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ، يُقَالُ لَهَا لَيْلَى عَنْ أُمِّ عُمَارَةَ، قَالَتْ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَرَّبْنَا إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا فَكَانَ بَعْضُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ صَائِمًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" الصَّائِمُ إِذَا أُكِلَ عِنْدَهُ الطَّعَامُ صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ " .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
came to us and we brought food for him. Some of those who were with
him were fasting, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If food
is
eaten in the presence of one who is fasting, the angels send
blessing
upon him.’”
Chapter 46: Concerning the fasting person when others are eating in his presence - كتاب الصيام
It was
narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraidah that his father said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ لِبِلاَلٍ " الْغَدَاءُ يَا بِلاَلُ " . فَقَالَ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " نَأْكُلُ أَرْزَاقَنَا وَفَضْلُ رِزْقِ بِلاَلٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَشَعَرْتَ يَا بِلاَلُ أَنَّ الصَّائِمَ تُسَبِّحُ عِظَامُهُ وَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ مَا أُكِلَ عِنْدَهُ " .
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to Bilal: ‘Come and eat, O Bilal.’
He
said: ‘I am fasting.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘We
are
eating our provision, but most of Bilal’s provision is in
Paradise. Do
you realise, O Bilal, that the bones of the fasting
person glorify
Allah and the angels pray for forgiveness for him so
long as food is
eaten in front of him?’”
There are three whose supplications are not turned back: A just
ruler, and a fasting person until he breaks his fast. And, the
supplication of one who has been wronged is raised by Allah up to the
clouds on the Day of Resurrection, and the gates of heaven are opened
for it, and Allah says, ‘By My Might I will help you (against the
wrongdoer) even if it is after a while.’”
“When the fasting person breaks his fast, his
supplication is not turned back.”
(One of the narrators) Ibn Abi Mulaikah said: "When he broke his fast, I heard 'Abdullah bin
'Amr say: 'O Allah! I ask You by Your mercy, which encompasses all things, to forgive me.'"
Chapter 49: Eating before going out on the day of Fitr - كتاب الصيام
It was
narrated from Ibn Buraidah from his father, that:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَوَابُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَانَ لاَ يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَأْكُلَ وَكَانَ لاَ يَأْكُلُ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ .
The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) would not go out on the Day of Fitr until he had eaten,
and he would not eat on the Day of Nahr (the day of sacrifice) until
he came back.
“A woman came to the Prophet
(ﷺ)
and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, my sister has died and she owed
a
fast of two consecutive months.’ He said: ‘Do you not think that
if
your sister owed a debt, you would pay it off for her?’ She
said: ‘Of
course.’ He said: ‘The right of Allah is greater.’”
Chapter 51: One who dies owing a fast that he vowed to observe - كتاب الصيام
It was
narrated from Ibn Buraidah that his father said:
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمٌ أَفَأَصُومُ عَنْهَا قَالَ
" نَعَمْ " .
“A woman came
to
the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, my mother has
died and she owed a fast. Should I fast on her behalf?’ He said:
‘Yes.’”
“Our delegation who went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to
announce the Islam of Thaqif told us that they came to him in
Ramadan.
He set up a tent for them in the mosque, and when they
became Muslim,
they fasted what was left of the month.”
Chapter 56: Concerning Lailatul-Qadr (the night of decree) - كتاب الصيام
It was
narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ اعْتَكَفْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ الْعَشْرَ الأَوْسَطَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ
" إِنِّي أُرِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَأُنْسِيتُهَا فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ فِي الْوَتْرِ " .
“We observed I’tikaf
with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the middle ten days of
Ramadan. He said: ‘I have been shown Lailatul-Qadr, then I was
caused
to forget it, so seek it in the last ten night, on the
odd-numbered
nights.’”
