“I met Abu Salamah bin
‘Abdur-Rahman and said: ‘Tell me a Hadith that you heard from
your
father, in which mention is made of the month of Ramadan.’ He
said:
‘Yes, my father narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
mentioned the month of Ramadan and said: “A month which Allah
has
enjoined upon you to fast, and in which I have established Qiyam
(prayers at night) as Sunnah for you. So whoever fasts it and spends
its nights in prayer out of faith and in hope of reward; he will
emerge from his sins as on the day his mother bore him.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘At night Satan ties a rope in which there are three knots to
the nape of the neck of anyone of you. If he wakes up and remembers
Allah, one knot is untied. If he performs ablution, another knot is
untied, and if he gets up to pray, all the knots are untied, so he
wakes up energetic and cheerful, he has already earned something
good.
But if he does not do that, he wakes up bad-tempered, having
earned
nothing good.”
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘The mother of Sulaiman bin Dawud said to Sulaiman:
“O
my son, do not sleep too much at night, for sleeping too much at
night will leave a man poor on the Day of Resurrection.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ الْمَدِينَةَ انْجَفَلَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ . وَقِيلَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ . فَجِئْتُ فِي النَّاسِ لأَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَبَنْتُ وَجْهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ وَجْهَهُ لَيْسَ بِوَجْهِ كَذَّابٍ فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ شَىْءٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ أَنْ قَالَ
" يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ وَأَطْعِمُوا الطَّعَامَ وَصَلُّوا بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلاَمٍ " .
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Salam said:
“When the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) came to Al-Madinah, the people rushed towards him and it
was said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has come!’ I came along
with the people to see him, and when I looked at the face of the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I realized that his face was not the face
of a liar. The first thing he said was: “O people, spread (the
greeting of) Salam, offer food to people and pray at night when
people are sleeping, you will enter Paradise in peace.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘May Allah have mercy on a man who gets up at night and
prays,
and wakes his wife, and she prays; and if she refuses he
sprinkles
water in her face. And May Allah have mercy on a woman who
gets up at
night and prays, and wakes her husband and he prays; and
if he
refuses, she sprinkles water in his face.’”
It was
narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’ib said:
“Sa’d bin Abu
Waqqas came to us when he had become blind. I greeted him with Salam
and he said: ‘Who are you?’ So I told him, and he said: ‘Welcome,
O
son of my brother. I have heard that you recite Qur’an in a
beautiful
voice. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “This
Qur’an was
revealed with sorrow, so when you recite it, then weep.
If you cannot
weep then pretend to weep, and make your voice
melodious in reciting
it. Whoever does not make his voice melodious,
he is not one of us.”

night at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) I was late
returning
from the ‘Isha’, then I came and he said: ‘Where were
you?’ I said: ‘I
was listening to the recitation of a man among
your Companions, for I
have never heard a recitation or a voice like
his from anyone.’ He got
up and I got up with him, to go and listen
to him. Then he turned to
me and said: ‘This is Salim, the freed
slave of Abu Hudhaifah. Praise
is to Allah Who has created such men
among my Ummah.’”

It was
narrated from ‘Uthman bin ‘Abdullah bin Aws that his
grandfather
Aws bin Hudhaifah said:
“We came to the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) in
the delegation of Thaqif. The allies of Quraish stayed at the
house
of Mughirah bin Shu’bah, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) camped
Bani Malik in a tent belonging to him. He used to come to us every
night after the ‘Isha’ and speak to us standing on his two feet,
until
he started to shift his weight from one foot to the other. Most
of
what he told us was what he had suffered from his people, the
Quraish.
He said: ‘(The two sides) were not equal. We were weak and
oppressed
and humiliated, and when we went out to Al-Madinah, the
outcome of the
battles between us varied; sometimes we would defeat
them and
sometimes they would defeat us.’ One night he was later
than he
usually was, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you have
come to us
late tonight.’ He said: ‘It occurred to me that I had
not read my
daily portion of Qur’an and I did not want to come out
until I had
completed it.’” Aws said: “I asked the Companions
of the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ): ‘How did you used to divide up the
Qur’an?’ They said: ‘A
third, a fifth, a seventh, a ninth, an
eleventh, a thirteenth, and
Hizbul-Mufassal.’”
“I memorized the Qur’an
and recited it all in one night. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
‘I
am afraid that you may live a long life and that you may get
bored.
Recite it over the period of a month.’ I said: ‘Let me
benefit from my
strength in my youth.’ He said: ‘Recite it in ten
days.’ I said: ‘Let
me benefit from my strength and my youth.’
He said: ‘Recite it in
seven days.’ I said: ‘Let me benefit
from my strength and my youth,’
but he refused (to alter it any
further).”
