Sunan Abi Dawud 1371

Translation

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to commend prayer at night during Ramadan, but did not command it as duty. He would say: If anyone prays during the night in Ramadan because of faith and seeking his reward from Allah, his previous sins will be forgiven for him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, this was the practice, and it continued thus during Abu Bakr's caliphate and early part of 'Umar's. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by 'Uqail, Yunus, and Abu Uwais in like manner. The version of 'Uqail goes: He who fasts during Ramadan and prays during the night.

• فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ كَانَ الأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فِي خِلاَفَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ - رضى الله عنه - وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ رضى الله عنه. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَا رَوَاهُ عُقَيْلٌ وَيُونُسُ وَأَبُو أُوَيْسٍ " مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ ". وَرَوَى عُقَيْلٌ " مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَقَامَهُ

  يرويه النضر بن شيبان عن أبي سلمة عن أبيه حدث به عنه نصر بن علي الجهضمي الأكبر وأبو عقيل الدورقي بشير بن عقبة والقاسم بن الفضل الحداني ورواه الزهري عن أبي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن عن أبي هريرة ولم يذكر فيه وسننت للمسلمين قيامه وإنما ذكر فيه فضل صيامه وحديث الزهري أشبه بالصواب

  machine translationAl-Naḍr b. Shaybān narrates it from Abū Salamah, from his father. Naṣr b. ʿAlī al-Jahḍamī al-Akbar, Abū ʿAqīl al-Dawraqī Bashīr b. ʿUqbah, and al-Qāsim b. al-Faḍl al-Ḥuddānī narrated it from him. Al-Zuhrī narrated it from Abū Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from Abū Hurayrah, and he did not mention in it "and I have made its standing in prayer a sunnah for the Muslims"; he only mentioned in it the merit of fasting it. The hadith of al-Zuhrī is closer to being correct. Report a problem
