   قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّ لِي جَرَّةً أَنْتَبِذُ لِي فِيهَا، فَأَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ، فَإِذَا أَطَلْتُ الْجُلُوسَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَفْتَضِحَ مِنْ حَلَاوَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: قَدِمَ وَفْدُ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: " مَرْحَبًا بِالْوَفْدِ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَلَا نَدَامَى " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ مُضَرَ، وَإِنَّا لَا نَصِلُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا فِي أَشْهُرِ الْحُرُمِ، فَحَدِّثْنَا عَمَلًا مِنَ الْأَمْرِ إِذَا أَخَذْنَا بِهِ دَخَلْنَا بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ، وَنَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مَنْ وَرَاءَنَا، قَالَ: " آمُرُكُمْ بِأَرْبَعٍ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعٍ: الْإِيمَانُ بِاللهِ، وَهَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْإِيمَانُ بِاللهِ ؟ " قَالُوا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: " شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ، وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ، وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ، وَتُعْطُوا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْمَغَانِمِ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ النَّبِيذِ فِي الدُّبَّاءِ، وَالنَّقِيرِ، وَالْحَنْتَمِ، وَالْمُزَفَّتِ

   ✧ I said to Ibn 'Abbas: I have a jar in which I soak dates for myself, and I drink from it, but if I sit with people for a long time, I fear that I may be disgraced because of its sweetness. He said: The delegation of 'Abd al-Qays came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: 'Welcome to the delegation, not disgraced nor regretful.' They said: O Messenger of Allah, between us and you are the polytheists of Mudar, and we can only reach you during the sacred months, so tell us of a matter of the religion by which, if we act upon it, we will enter Paradise by it, and we call to it those behind us. He said: 'I command you with four things and I forbid you from four things: faith in Allah, and do you know what faith in Allah is?' They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: 'The testimony that there is no god but Allah, the establishment of prayer, the giving of zakat, the fast of Ramadan, and that you give the fifth of the spoils. And I forbid you from soaking in gourds, hollowed-out stumps, green jars, and pitch-covered vessels.'

   بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ: شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ، وَحَجِّ الْبَيْتِ، وَصَوْمِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

   ✧ Islam is built upon five: the testimony that there is no god but Allah, the establishment of prayer, the giving of zakat, the pilgrimage to the House, and the fast of the month of Ramadan.

   إِذَا جَاءَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فُتِّحَتْ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ، وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ، وَصُفِّدَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ

   ✧ When the month of Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of the Fire are closed, and the devils are shackled.

   إِذَا كَانَ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ صُفِّدَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ مَرَدَةُ الْجِنِّ، وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ، فَلَمْ يُفْتَحْ مِنْهَا بَابٌ، وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُ الْجِنَانِ، فَلَمْ يُغْلَقْ مِنْهَا بَابٌ، وَنَادَى مُنَادٍ: يَا بَاغِيَ الْخَيْرِ أَقْبِلْ، وَيَا بَاغِيَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ، وَلِلَّهِ عُتَقَاءُ مِنَ النَّارِ

   ✧ When the first night of Ramadan begins, the rebellious jinn among the devils are shackled, the gates of the Fire are closed, and no gate of it is opened, the gates of the Gardens are opened, and no gate of them is closed, and a caller calls out: O seeker of good, come forward; O seeker of evil, desist. And Allah has those freed from the Fire.

   أَظَلَّكُمْ شَهْرُكُمْ هَذَا بِمَحْلُوفِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مَرَّ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ شَهْرٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ، وَلَا مَرَّ بِالْمُنَافِقِينَ شَهْرٌ شَرٌّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ بِمَحْلُوفِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيُكْتَبُ أَجْرُهُ وَنَوَافِلُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ، وَيَكْتُبُ إِصْرَهُ وَشَقَاءَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُعِدُّ فِيهِ الْقُوَّةَ مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ لِلْعِبَادَةِ، وَيُعِدُّ فِيهِ الْمُنَافِقُ اتِّبَاعَ غَفَلَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَاتِّبَاعَ عَوْرَاتِهِمْ، فَغُنْمٌ يَغْنَمُهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ

   ✧ Your month has come upon you, by the oath of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: no month has passed for the Muslims that is better for them than it, and no month has passed for the hypocrites that is worse for them than it. By the oath of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: its reward and its voluntary good deeds are written before it enters, and its burden and its misery are written before it enters. That is because the believer prepares in it strength from spending for worship, and the hypocrite prepares in it to follow the heedlessness of the believers and to follow their faults. So it is a gain that the believer gains.

   يَسْتَقْبِلُكُمْ وَتَسْتَقْبِلُونَ " - ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ - فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَحْيٌ نَزَلَ ؟ قَالَ: " لَا " قَالَ: عَدُوٌّ حَضَرَ ؟ قَالَ: " لَا " قَالَ: فَمَاذَا ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - يَغْفِرُ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الْقِبْلَةِ، وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَيْهَا، فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ يَهُزُّ رَأْسَهُ وَيَقُولُ: بَخٍ بَخٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " يَا فُلَانُ، ضَاقَ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ ؟ " قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ ذَكَرْتُ الْمُنَافِقَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ، وَلَيْسَ لِكَافِرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكِ شَيْءٌ

   ✧ He faces you and you face him - three times. 'Umar b. al-Khattab said: O Messenger of Allah, has revelation descended? He said: No. He said: Has an enemy appeared? He said: No. He said: Then what? He said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, forgives on the first night of the month of Ramadan all the people of this qibla, and he pointed with his hand towards it. A man began shaking his head and saying: Excellent, excellent. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: O so-and-so, has your chest become constrained by it? He said: No, but I remembered the hypocrite. He said: The hypocrites are the disbelievers, and the disbeliever has no share of that.

   سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَقَدْ أَهَلَّ رَمَضَانُ، فَقَالَ: " لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْعِبَادُ مَا رَمَضَانُ لَتَمَنَّتْ أُمَّتِي أَنْ يَكُونَ السَّنَةَ كُلَّهَا "، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، حَدِّثْنَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَتَزَيَّنُ لِرَمَضَانَ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ إِلَى الْحَوْلِ، فَإِذَا كَانَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ هَبَّتْ رِيحٌ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ، فَصَفَّقَتْ وَرَقَ الْجَنَّةِ، فَتَنْظُرُ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، فَيَقُلْنَ: يَا رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ عِبَادِكَ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ أَزْوَاجًا تَقَرُّ أَعْيُنُنَا بِهِمْ، وَتَقَرُّ أَعْيُنُهُمْ بِنَا. قَالَ: فَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا مِنْ رَمَضَانَ إِلَّا زُوِّجَ زَوْجَةً مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ فِي خَيْمَةٍ مِنْ دُرَّةٍ مِمَّا نَعَتَ اللهُ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ]: حُورٌ مَقْصُورَاتٌ فِي الْخِيَامِ، عَلَى كُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ سَبْعُونَ حُلَّةً، لَيْسَ مِنْهَا حُلَّةٌ عَلَى لَوْنِ الْأُخْرَى، تُعْطَى سَبْعِينَ لَوْنًا مِنَ الطِّيبِ، لَيْسَ مِنْهُ لَوْنٌ عَلَى رِيحِ الْآخَرِ، لِكُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ وَصِيفَةٍ لِحَاجَتِهَا، وَسَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ وَصِيفٍ، مَعَ كُلِّ وَصِيفٍ صَحْفَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فِيهَا لَوْنُ طَعَامٍ، تَجِدُ لِآخِرِ لُقْمَةٍ مِنْهُ لَذَّةً، لَا تَجِدُ لِأَوَّلِهِ، لِكُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ سَبْعُونَ سَرِيرًا مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ، عَلَى كُلِّ سَرِيرٍ سَبْعُونَ فِرَاشًا، بَطَائِنُهَا مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ، فَوْقَ كُلِّ فِرَاشٍ سَبْعُونَ أَرِيكَةً، وَيُعْطَى زَوْجُهَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ مِنْ يَاقُوتٍ أَحْمَرَ، مُوَشَّحٍ بِالدُّرِّ، عَلَيْهِ سِوَارَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، هَذَا بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَامَهُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ سِوَى مَا عَمِلَ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ

   ✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say one day, when Ramadan had begun: "If the servants knew what Ramadan is, my community would wish that the whole year were Ramadan." A man from Khuza'ah said: "O Prophet of Allah, tell us." He said: "Paradise is adorned for Ramadan from the beginning of the year to the next year. When the first day of Ramadan comes, a wind blows from beneath the Throne and rustles the leaves of Paradise. The houris with wide eyes look at that and say: 'O Lord, appoint for us spouses from Your servants in this month, by whom our eyes will be delighted and their eyes will be delighted by us.' He said: 'There is no servant who fasts a day of Ramadan except that he is wedded to a wife from the houris with wide eyes in a tent of pearl, as Allah [Mighty and Majestic] described: 'Houris, restrained in pavilions.' Upon each woman are seventy garments, no garment of which is the same color as another. She is given seventy kinds of perfume, no kind of which has the same scent as another. For each woman among them are seventy thousand maidservants for her needs and seventy thousand servant boys, and with each servant boy is a platter of gold containing a kind of food, the last morsel of which has a pleasure not found in the first. For each woman among them are seventy couches of red ruby, on each couch seventy mattresses, their linings of rich brocade, and above each mattress seventy canopied beds. Her husband is given the like of that on a couch of red ruby, adorned with pearls, with two bracelets of gold upon him. This is for every day he fasted in Ramadan, apart from what he did of good deeds."

    خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ أَظَلَّكُمْ شَهْرٌ عَظِيمٌ، شَهْرٌ مُبَارَكٌ، شَهْرٌ فِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ، جَعَلَ اللهُ صِيَامَهُ فَرِيضَةً، وَقِيَامَ لَيْلِهِ تَطَوُّعًا، مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ فِيهِ بِخَصْلَةٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، كَانَ كَمَنْ أَدَّى فَرِيضَةً فِيمَا سِوَاهُ، وَمَنْ أَدَّى فِيهِ فَرِيضَةً كَانَ كَمَنْ أَدَّى سَبْعِينَ فَرِيضَةً فِيمَا سِوَاهُ، وَهُوَ شَهْرُ الصَّبْرِ، وَالصَّبْرُ ثَوَابُهُ الْجَنَّةُ، وَشَهْرُ الْمُوَاسَاةِ، وَشَهْرٌ يَزْدَادُ فِيهِ رِزْقُ الْمُؤْمِنِ، مَنْ فَطَّرَ فِيهِ صَائِمًا كَانَ مَغْفِرَةً لِذُنُوبِهِ وَعِتْقَ رَقَبَتِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَكَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْتَقِصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْءٌ ". قَالُوا: لَيْسَ كُلُّنَا نَجِدُ مَا يُفَطِّرُ الصَّائِمَ، فَقَالَ: " يُعْطِي اللهُ هَذَا الثَّوَابَ مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا عَلَى تَمْرَةٍ، أَوْ شَرْبَةِ مَاءٍ، أَوْ مَذْقَةِ لَبَنٍ، وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ أَوَّلُهُ رَحْمَةٌ، وَأَوْسَطُهُ مَغْفِرَةٌ، وَآخِرُهُ عِتْقٌ مِنَ النَّارِ، مَنْ خَفَّفَ عَنْ مَمْلُوكِهِ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ، وَأَعْتَقَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَاسْتَكْثِرُوا فِيهِ مِنْ أَرْبَعِ خِصَالٍ: خَصْلَتَيْنِ تُرْضُونَ بِهِمَا رَبَّكُمْ، وَخَصْلَتَيْنِ لَا غِنًى بِكُمْ عَنْهُمَا، فَأَمَّا الْخَصْلَتَانِ اللَّتَانِ تُرْضُونَ بِهِمَا رَبَّكُمْ: فَشَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَتَسْتَغْفِرُونَهُ، وَأَمَّا اللَّتَانِ لَا غِنًى بِكُمْ عَنْهُمَا: فَتَسْأَلُونَ اللهَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَتَعُوذُونَ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَمَنْ أَشْبَعَ فِيهِ صَائِمًا سَقَاهُ اللهُ مِنْ حَوْضِي شَرْبَةً لَا يَظْمَأُ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us on the last day of Sha'ban and said: "O people, a great month has overshadowed you, a blessed month, a month in which there is a night better than a thousand months. Allah has made its fasting obligatory and its night prayer voluntary. Whoever draws near in it with a good quality is like one who performs an obligatory act in other than it, and whoever performs an obligatory act in it is like one who performs seventy obligatory acts in other than it. It is the month of patience, and the reward of patience is Paradise. It is the month of consolation, and a month in which the provision of the believer increases. Whoever provides iftar to a fasting person in it, it will be forgiveness for his sins and release of his neck from the Fire, and he will have the like of his reward without any diminution from his reward." They said: "Not all of us find what to provide iftar to a fasting person." He said: "Allah gives this reward to one who provides iftar to a fasting person with a date, or a drink of water, or a sip of milk. It is a month whose beginning is mercy, its middle forgiveness, and its end release from the Fire. Whoever lightens the burden of his slave, Allah will forgive him and release him from the Fire. Increase in it four qualities: two by which you please your Lord, and two which you cannot do without. As for the two by which you please your Lord: bearing witness that there is no god but Allah, and seeking His forgiveness. As for the two which you cannot do without: asking Allah for Paradise and seeking refuge in Him from the Fire. Whoever satisfies a fasting person in it, Allah will give him a drink from my pond, a drink after which he will not thirst until he enters Paradise."

    أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَقِيَ الْمِنْبَرَ، فَقَالَ: " آمِينَ، آمِينَ، آمِينَ ". فَقِيلَ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: قَالَ لِي جِبْرِيلُ: أَرْغَمَ اللهُ أَنْفَ عَبْدٍ - أَوْ بَعُدَ - دَخَلَ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يُغْفَرْ لَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: آمِينَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: رَغِمَ أَنْفُ عَبْدٍ - أَوْ بَعُدَ - أَدْرَكَ وَالِدَيْهِ، أَوْ أَحَدَهُمَا لَمْ يُدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ، فَقُلْتُ: آمِينَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: رَغِمَ أَنْفُ عَبْدٍ - أَوْ بَعُدَ - ذُكِرْتَ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْكَ، فَقُلْتُ: آمِينَ

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and said: "Amin, Amin, Amin." It was said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, what were you doing this for?" He said: "Gabriel said to me: 'May Allah rub the nose in the dust of a servant - or may he be distant - who enters Ramadan and is not forgiven.' I said: 'Amin.' Then he said: 'May the nose be rubbed in the dust of a servant - or may he be distant - who reaches his parents, or one of them, and does not enter Paradise.' I said: 'Amin.' Then he said: 'May the nose be rubbed in the dust of a servant - or may he be distant - before whom you are mentioned and he does not invoke blessings upon you.' I said: 'Amin.'"

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the most generous of people in good, and he was most generous in the month of Ramadan until it ended. Gabriel would come to him and review the Qur'an with him. When Gabriel met him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was more generous in good than the sent wind.

    إِنَّ اللهَ أَوْحَى إِلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِهِنَّ، وَيَأْمُرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ، فَكَأَنَّهُ أَبْطَأَ بِهِنَّ، فَأَتَاهُ عِيسَى فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ أَمَرَكَ بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ بِهِنَّ، وَيَأْمُرُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ، فَإِمَّا أَنْ تُخْبِرَهُمْ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ أُخْبِرَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَخِي، لَا تَفْعَلْ، فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ إِنْ تَسْبِقْنِي بِهِنَّ أَنْ يُخْسَفَ بِي، أَوْ أُعَذَّبَ. قَالَ: فَجَمَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، حَتَّى امْتَلَأَ الْمَسْجِدَ، وَقَعَدُوا عَلَى الشُّرُفَاتِ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَهُمْ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ بِهِنَّ، وَآمُرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا بِهِنَّ: أَوَّلُهُنَّ: أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللهِ شَيْئًا؛ فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ مَنْ أَشْرَكَ بِاللهِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى عَبْدًا مِنْ خَالِصِ مَالِهِ، بِذَهَبٍ أَوْ وَرِقٍ، ثُمَّ أَسْكَنَهُ دَارًا، فَقَالَ: اعْمَلْ وَارْفَعْ إِلَيَّ، فَجَعَلَ يَعْمَلُ وَيَرْفَعُ إِلَى غَيْرِ سَيِّدِهِ، فَأَيُّكُمْ يَرْضَى أَنْ يَكُونَ عَبْدُهُ كَذَلِكَ ؟ فَإِنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُمْ، فَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَإِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا تَلْتَفِتُوا؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُقْبِلُ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَى وَجْهِ عَبْدِهِ مَا لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ، وَآمُرُكُمْ بِالصِّيَامِ، وَمَثَلُ ذَلِكَ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ فِي عِصَابَةٍ، مَعَهُ صُرَّةُ مِسْكٍ، كُلُّهُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَجِدَ رِيحَهَا، وَإِنَّ الصِّيَامَ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، وَآمُرُكُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، وَمَثَلُ ذَلِكَ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَسَرَهُ الْعَدُوُّ، فَأَوْثَقُوا يَدَهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ، وَقَرَّبُوهُ لِيَضْرِبُوا عُنُقَهُ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: هَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْ أَفْدِيَ نَفْسِيَ مِنْكُمْ ؟ وَجَعَلَ يُعْطِي الْقَلِيلَ وَالْكَثِيرَ حَتَّى فَدَى نَفْسَهُ، وَآمُرُكُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللهِ كَثِيرًا، وَمَثَلُ ذِكْرِ اللهِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ طَلَبَهُ الْعَدُوُّ سِرَاعًا فِي أَثَرِهِ، حَتَّى أَتَى حِصْنًا حَصِينًا، فَأَحْرَزَ نَفْسَهُ فِيهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ لَا يَنْجُو مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ إِلَّا بِذِكْرِ اللهِ ". قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " وَأَنَا آمُرُكُمْ بِخَمْسٍ أَمَرَنِي اللهُ بِهِنَّ: الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ، وَالْهِجْرَةِ، وَالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَمَنْ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ، فَقَدْ خَلَعَ رِبْقَةَ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يُرَاجِعَ، وَمَنِ ادَّعَى دَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَهُوَ مِنْ جُثَى جَهَنَّمَ "، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى ؟ قَالَ: " وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى، تَدَاعُوا بِدَعْوَى اللهِ الَّذِي سَمَّاكُمْ بِهَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عِبَادَ اللهِ

    ✧ Allah revealed to Yahya b. Zakariyya five words to act upon and to command the Children of Israel to act upon them. He seemed to delay them, so 'Isa came to him and said: "Allah commanded you with five words to act upon and to command the Children of Israel to act upon them. Either you inform them, or I inform them." He said: "O my brother, do not do that, for I fear that if you precede me with them, the earth will swallow me or I will be punished." He said: He gathered the Children of Israel in the House of the Sanctuary, until the mosque was full and they sat on the balconies. Then he addressed them and said: "Allah revealed to me five words to act upon and to command the Children of Israel to act upon them: The first of them: that you do not associate anything with Allah, for the likeness of one who associates with Allah is like a man who bought a slave from his pure wealth with gold or silver, then lodged him in a house and said: 'Work and bring it to me.' He began to work and bring it to someone other than his master. Which of you would be pleased for his slave to be like that? Allah created you and provided for you, so do not associate anything with Him. When you stand for prayer, do not turn away, for Allah turns His face toward the face of His servant as long as he does not turn away. I command you with fasting. Its likeness is like a man in a group with a pouch of musk; all of them love to find its scent. Indeed, fasting is sweeter to Allah than the scent of musk. I command you with charity. Its likeness is like a man whom the enemy captured, and they bound his hand to his neck and brought him forward to strike his neck. He began to say: 'Would you let me ransom myself from you?' And he began to give little and much until he ransomed himself. I command you with much remembrance of Allah. The likeness of the remembrance of Allah is like a man whom the enemy pursued swiftly in his tracks until he came to a strong fortress and secured himself in it. Likewise, the servant does not escape from Satan except by the remembrance of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "And I command you with five things which Allah commanded me: the congregation, listening and obedience, emigration, and jihad in the way of Allah. Whoever separates from the congregation by a handspan has cast off the bond of faith and Islam from his head, unless he returns. Whoever claims the claim of the Jahiliyyah, he is among the heaps of Jahannam." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, even if he fasts and prays?" He said: "Even if he fasts and prays. Call one another by the call of Allah, by which He named you: the believers, the Muslims, the servants of Allah."

    كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ، فَهُوَ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ، الصِّيَامُ عَنْهُ جُنَّةٌ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، لِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ: إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَرِحَ بِفِطْرِهِ، وَإِذَا لَقِيَ رَبَّهُ فَرِحَ بِصَوْمِهِ

    ✧ Every deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting, for it is for Me, and I reward it. Fasting is a shield. By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the breath of the fasting person is sweeter to Allah on the Day of Resurrection than the scent of musk. The fasting person has two joys: when he breaks his fast, he rejoices in his breaking, and when he meets his Lord, he rejoices in his fast.

    كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ، الْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ. قَالَ اللهُ: إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ، فَهُوَ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ، يَدَعُ الطَّعَامَ مِنْ أَجْلِي، وَيَدَعُ الشَّرَابَ مِنْ أَجْلِي، وَيَدَعُ لَذَّتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي، وَيَدَعُ زَوْجَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي، وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ: فَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يُفْطِرُ، وَفَرْحَةٌ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ رَبِّهِ

    ✧ Every deed of the son of Adam is for him: a good deed is multiplied ten times its like, up to seven hundredfold. Allah said: Except fasting, for it is Mine, and I give reward for it. He leaves his food for My sake, leaves his drink for My sake, leaves his pleasure for My sake, and leaves his wife for My sake. And the breath of the fasting person is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk. The fasting person has two joys: a joy when he breaks his fast, and a joy when he meets his Lord.

    ✧ Three people's supplications are not rejected: the fasting person until he breaks his fast, a just ruler, and the supplication of the oppressed. Allah raises it above the clouds and opens for it the gates of the heavens, and the Lord, Mighty and Exalted, says: 'By My might, I will surely help you, even if after a while.'

She went to look for him, and he had been working that day, so sleep overcame him. His wife came and said: 'Woe to you!' He woke up, and when midday came, he fainted. That was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, and this verse was revealed: 'It has been made lawful for you, on the night of fasting, to go to your wives.' They rejoiced greatly, and he said: 'And eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread of dawn.'

He said: "Take this and give it in charity." He said: O Messenger of God, to those more needy than me and my family? For by the One who sent you with the truth, we have no dinner for a night. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Then take it back for yourself and your family."

He said: I had intercourse with my wife in Ramadan. He said: "Free a slave." He said: I cannot find one. He said: "Fast two consecutive months." He said: I am not able. He said: "Feed sixty poor persons." He said: I cannot find it. He said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ was brought a large basket (araq) containing dates, and he said: "Take it and give it in charity." He said: I find no one more entitled to it than my family, O Messenger of God. Between the two ropes of Madinah, there is no one more in need of it than me. The Messenger of God ﷺ laughed until his canine teeth appeared, and said: "Take it and seek forgiveness from God."

    ✧ 'The cupper and the cupped have broken their fast.' Some of those who disagree with us on this issue said: 'Cupping does not invalidate the fasting person's fast,' and they cited as evidence that the Prophet ﷺ was cupped while fasting and in ihram. This report does not indicate that cupping does not invalidate the fast of the fasting person, because the Prophet ﷺ was only cupped while fasting during travel, not while resident; for he was never in ihram while residing in his own city. He was in ihram only while traveling. A traveler, even if he intended to fast, may have part of the day pass while he is fasting from food and drink, and eating and drinking break his fast. It is not as some scholars imagined, that a traveler, once he begins a fast, cannot break it until he completes the fast of that day. Since he may eat and drink, though he had intended to fast and part of the day has passed while he is fasting, and eating and drinking break his fast, it was permissible for him to be cupped while traveling during part of the fasting day, even though cupping is something that breaks the fast. The evidence that the fasting person may break his fast by eating and drinking during travel in a day part of which has passed while he is fasting is:

    ✧ I am not like you; I am riding while you are walking, and I am the least burdened of you, so drink. They kept looking at him, wondering what he would do. When they refused, he turned his saddle, dismounted, drank, and the people drank. The reports of Ibn Abbas and Anas b. Malik I have included in the Book of Fasting in the large book. Is it permissible for an ignorant person to say: Drinking is allowed for the fasting person and does not break his fast? Since the Prophet ﷺ commanded his companions, while fasting, to drink, and when they refused, he drank while fasting and they drank. Whoever understands knowledge and comprehends fiqh knows that the Prophet ﷺ and his companions had become compelled to drink water; they had intended to fast and part of the day had passed, and they were allowed to break their fast because they were traveling, not resident. Likewise, the Prophet ﷺ was allowed to be cupped while fasting during travel, even though cupping breaks the fast, because whoever is allowed to drink—even though drinking breaks the fast—is allowed to be cupped—even though cupping breaks the fast. As for the argument of some Iraqis on this issue, that breaking the fast is caused by what enters, not what exits, this is ignorance and negligence on the part of its speaker, and a deception upon those who do not possess knowledge or understand fiqh. This statement, if taken literally, contradicts the clear evidence of the Book of God, the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, and the consensus of all the people of prayer from the people of God. God has indicated in His clear revelation that 'mubasharah' (touching) means sexual intercourse during the day of fasting, and the chosen Prophet ﷺ obligated the one who has intercourse in Ramadan to free a slave if he can, or to fast two consecutive months if he cannot find a slave, or to feed sixty poor people if he cannot fast. The one who has intercourse does not have anything enter his inside; rather, semen exits from him if he ejaculates. He may have intercourse without ejaculating in the vagina, so no semen exits from his inside either. The meeting of the two circumcised parts without ejaculation breaks the fast and necessitates expiation, and nothing enters the inside of the one having intercourse nor exits from it when his state is like this. The chosen Prophet ﷺ informed that deliberate vomiting breaks the fast of the one who deliberately vomits, and the people of prayer and people of knowledge have agreed that deliberate vomiting invalidates the fast. If the fasting person's fast were only invalidated by what enters his inside, then intercourse and deliberate vomiting would not invalidate the fast. Some ignorant people have come up with an amazing thing on this issue, claiming that the Prophet ﷺ only said 'the cupper and the cupped have broken their fast' because they were backbiting. When it is said to him: Does backbiting invalidate the fasting person's fast? He claims that it does not. Then it is said to him: If, according to you, the Prophet ﷺ only said 'the cupper and the cupped have broken their fast' because they were backbiting, and backbiting, according to you, does not invalidate the fast, then would anyone who believes in God say such a thing? He claims that the Prophet ﷺ informed his nation that the two who backbite are people who have broken their fast, while he himself says: Rather, they are fasting and have not broken their fast. Thus he contradicts the Prophet ﷺ, whom God obligated His servants to obey and follow, promised guidance for following him, warned against opposing him, and negated faith for anyone who finds in himself any discomfort with his ruling. He said: {But no, by your Lord, they will not believe until they make you judge in what arises between them.} The verse. And God, exalted and high, has not given anyone any choice in what God and His Messenger have decreed. He said, blessed and exalted: {It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when God and His Messenger have decreed a matter, to have any choice in their affair.} The one who uses this report as evidence has clearly contradicted the Prophet ﷺ in his own mind, without any doubt or interpretation that the report could bear, when he claims that the Prophet ﷺ only said to the cupper and the cupped 'you have broken your fast' due to their backbiting, and then he himself claims that backbiting does not break the fast. Thus he has completely contradicted the Prophet ﷺ without any doubt or interpretation. So it is in the Dar al-Mayman edition, and in the Maktab al-Islami edition: 'they have broken their fast' (dual form). So it is in the Dar al-Mayman edition, and in the Maktab al-Islami edition: 'with drinking'. So it is in the Dar al-Mayman edition, and in the Maktab al-Islami edition: 'contradiction'.

Then he went on, and I came upon a people with the most severe bloating and the foulest smell, as if their smell were that of latrines. I said, "Who are these?" He said, "These are the male and female adulterers." Then he went on, and I came upon women whose breasts were being bitten by snakes. I said, "What is the matter with these?" He said, "These are those who deny their children their milk." Then he went on, and I came upon boys playing between two rivers. I said, "Who are these?" He said, "These are the offspring of the believers." Then he ascended a height, and I came upon three people drinking from wine they had. I said, "Who are these?" He said, "These are Ja'far, Zayd, and Ibn Rawahah." Then he took me up to another height, and I came upon three people. I said, "Who are these?" He said, "This is Ibrahim, Musa, and 'Isa, and they are looking at me."

     قُلْنَا: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ ؟ قَالَتْ: قَدْ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ أَمْلَكَ لِإِرْبِهِ مِنْكُمْ. قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّمَا خَاطَبَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ وَأُمَّتَهُ بِلُغَةِ الْعَرَبِ أَوْسَعِ اللُّغَاتِ كُلِّهَا، الَّتِي لَا يُحِيطُ بِعِلْمِ جَمِيعِهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرَ نَبِيِّ، وَالْعَرَبُ فِي لُغَاتِهَا تُوقِعُ اسْمَ الْوَاحِدِ عَلَى شَيْئَيْنِ، وَعَلَى أَشْيَاءَ ذَوَاتِ عَدَدٍ، وَقَدْ يُسَمَّى الشَّيْءُ الْوَاحِدُ بِأَسْمَاءَ، وَقَدْ يَزْجُرُ اللهُ عَنِ الشَّيْءِ، وَيُبِيحُ شَيْئًا آخَرَ غَيْرَ الشَّيْءِ الْمَزْجُورِ عَنْهُ، وَوَقَعَ اسْمُ الْوَاحِدِ عَلَى الشَّيْئَيْنِ جَمِيعًا: عَلَى الْمُبَاحِ، وَعَلَى الْمَحْظُورِ، وَكَذَلِكَ قَدْ يُبِيحُ الشَّيْءَ الْمَزْجُورَ عَنْهُ، وَوَقَعَ اسْمُ الْوَاحِدِ عَلَيْهِمَا جَمِيعًا، فَيَكُونُ اسْمُ الْوَاحِدِ وَاقِعًا عَلَى الشَّيْئَيْنِ الْمُخْتَلِفَيْنِ، أَحَدُهُمَا مُبَاحٌ، وَالْآخَرُ مَحْظُورٌ، وَاسْمُهُمَا وَاحِدٌ، فَلَمْ يَفْهَمْ هَذَا مَنْ سَفِهَ لِسَانَ الْعَرَبِ، وَحَمَلَ الْمَعْنَى فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَاحِدٍ، يُوهِمُ أَنَّ الْأَمْرَيْنِ مُتَضَادَّانِ إِذْ أُبِيحَ فِعْلٌ مُسَمًّى بِاسْمٍ، وَحُظِرَ فِعْلٌ تَسَمَّى بِذَلِكَ الِاسْمِ سَوَاءً. فَمَنْ كَانَ هَذَا مَبْلَغُهُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ، لَمْ يَحِلَّ لَهُ تَعَاطِي الْفِقْهِ، وَلَا الْفُتْيَا، وَوَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ التَّعَلُّمُ، أَوِ السَّكْتُ، إِلَى أَنْ يُدْرِكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا يَجُوزُ مَعَهُ الْفُتْيَا، وَتَعَاطِي الْعِلْمِ، وَمَنْ فَهِمَ هَذِهِ الصَّنَاعَةَ عَلِمَ أَنَّ مَا أُبِيحَ غَيْرُ مَا حُظِرَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ اسْمُ الْوَاحِدِ قَدْ يَقَعُ عَلَى الْمُبَاحِ وَعَلَى الْمَحْظُورِ جَمِيعًا، فَمِنْ هَذَا الْجِنْسِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّ اللهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - دَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَنَّ مُبَاشَرَةَ النِّسَاءِ فِي نَهَارِ الصَّوْمِ غَيْرُ جَائِزٍ بِقَوْلِهِ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى -: فَالآنَ بَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَابْتَغُوا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَكُمْ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ، فَأَبَاحَ اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - مُبَاشَرَةَ النِّسَاءِ، وَالْأَكْلَ وَالشُّرْبَ بِاللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَنَا بِإِتْمَامِ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ، عَلَى أَنَّ الْمُبَاشَرَةَ الْمُبَاحَةَ بِاللَّيْلِ الْمَقْرُونَةَ إِلَى الْأَكْلِ وَالشُّرْبِ هِيَ الْجِمَاعُ الْمُفَطِّرُ لِلصَّائِمِ، وَأَبَاحَ اللهُ بِفِعْلِ النَّبِيِّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ الْمُبَاشَرَةَ الَّتِي هِيَ دُونَ الْجِمَاعِ فِي الصِّيَامِ، إِذْ كَانَ يُبَاشِرُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ، وَالْمُبَاشَرَةُ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَنَّهَا تُفَطِّرُ الصَّائِمَ هِيَ غَيْرُ الْمُبَاشَرَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُهَا فِي صِيَامِهِ. وَالْمُبَاشَرَةُ اسْمٌ وَاحِدٌ وَاقِعٌ عَلَى فِعْلَيْنِ: أَحَدُهُمَا مُبَاحَةٌ فِي نَهَارِ الصَّوْمِ، وَالْأُخْرَى: مَحْظُورَةٌ فِي نَهَارِ الصَّوْمِ، مُفَطِّرَةٌ لِلصَّائِمِ. وَمِنْ هَذَا الْجِنْسِ قَوْلُهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ -: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ [ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ]، فَأَمَرَ رَبُّنَا - جَلَّ وَعَلَا - بِالسَّعْيِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، وَالنَّبِيُّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ قَالَ: إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَلَا تَأْتُوهَا وَأَنْتُمْ تَسْعَوْنَ، ائْتُوهَا تَمْشُونَ وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّكِينَةُ. فَاسْمُ السَّعْيِ يَقَعُ عَلَى الْهَرْوَلَةِ، وَشِدَّةِ الْمَشْيِ، وَالْمُضِيِّ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ، فَالسَّعْيُ الَّذِي أَمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُسْعَى إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، هُوَ الْمُضِيُّ إِلَيْهَا، وَالسَّعْيُ الَّذِي زَجَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْهُ إِتْيَانَ الصَّلَاةِ هُوَ الْهَرْوَلَةُ وَسُرْعَةُ الْمَشْيِ، فَاسْمُ السَّعْيِ وَاقِعٌ عَلَى فِعْلَيْنِ: أَحَدُهُمَا مَأْمُورٌ، وَالْآخَرُ مَنْهِيٌّ عَنْهُ، وَسَأُبَيِّنُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى هَذَا الْجِنْسَ فِي كِتَابِ مَعَانِي الْقُرْآنِ إِنْ وَفَّقَ اللهُ لِذَلِكَ. كذا في طبعة دار الميمان، وفي طبعة المكتب الإسلامي: أمر. كذا في طبعة دار الميمان، وفي طبعة المكتب الإسلامي: إحداهما. ما بين المعقوفين غير موجود في طبعة المكتب الإسلامي. كذا في طبعة دار الميمان، وفي طبعة المكتب الإسلامي: ايتوها.

     ✧ We said: 'Did the Prophet ﷺ have intimate contact while fasting?' She said: 'He used to do so, but he had more control over his desires than you.' Abu Bakr said: 'Allah, majestic be His praise, addressed His Prophet ﷺ and his nation in the language of the Arabs, the most capacious of all languages, whose complete knowledge none but a prophet encompasses. The Arabs in their languages apply the name of one thing to two things, and to things of number. A single thing may be named by several names. Allah may prohibit one thing and permit another thing other than the prohibited thing, and the one name falls upon both things together: upon the permissible and the prohibited. Likewise, He may permit the prohibited thing, and the one name falls upon both of them together. Thus the one name falls upon the two different things, one of which is permissible and the other prohibited, while their name is one. Whoever is ignorant of the Arabic tongue does not understand this, and carries the meaning in that to one thing, imagining that the two matters are contradictory when an act called by a name is permitted and an act called by the same name is prohibited. Whoever has only this much knowledge is not allowed to engage in fiqh or give fatwas; he must learn or remain silent until he attains the knowledge with which fatwa and engaging in knowledge are permissible. Whoever understands this craft knows that what is permitted is other than what is prohibited, even if the one name may fall upon both the permissible and the prohibited. Of this kind that I mentioned is that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, indicated in His Book that intimate contact with women during the daytime of fasting is not permissible by His saying, Blessed and Exalted: "So now have relations with them and seek that which Allah has decreed for you. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread. Then complete the fast until the night." Thus Allah, Mighty and Majestic, permitted intimate contact with women, and eating and drinking at night, then commanded us to complete the fast until night, indicating that the intimate contact permitted at night, coupled with eating and drinking, is the sexual intercourse that breaks the fast of the fasting person. And Allah permitted, by the action of the chosen Prophet ﷺ, the intimate contact that is less than sexual intercourse during fasting, since he used to have intimate contact while fasting. The intimate contact that Allah mentioned in His Book as breaking the fast of the fasting person is other than the intimate contact that the Prophet ﷺ used to engage in during his fast. The word "intimate contact" is one name falling upon two acts: one of them permissible during the daytime of fasting, and the other prohibited during the daytime of fasting, breaking the fast of the fasting person. Of this kind is His saying, Mighty and Majestic: "O you who have believed, when the call is made for prayer on the day of Jumu'ah, then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trade. [That is better for you, if you only knew]." Our Lord, Majestic and Exalted, commanded hastening to Jumu'ah, and the chosen Prophet ﷺ said: "When you come to prayer, do not come while you are hastening; come walking, and upon you should be tranquility." The name "hastening" falls upon trotting, and intensity of walking, and going to the place. So the hastening that Allah commanded to Jumu'ah is going to it, and the hastening that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited when coming to prayer is trotting and quick walking. Thus the name "hastening" falls upon two acts: one commanded and the other prohibited. I will, if Allah, Exalted, wills, clarify this kind in the Book of Meanings of the Qur'an if Allah grants success to that.' Thus in the Dar al-Mayman edition, and in the Maktab al-Islami edition: 'commanded.' Thus in the Dar al-Mayman edition, and in the Maktab al-Islami edition: 'one of them.' What is in brackets is not present in the Maktab al-Islami edition. Thus in the Dar al-Mayman edition, and in the Maktab al-Islami edition: 'come to it.'

He said: He said: This you have told me of what I know. What do you think of what I do not know? What is your saying: The growth of the earth is seven? He said: I said: Allah says: "Then We split the earth in clefts, and We caused to grow therein" up to His saying "and fruits and herbage", and herbage is what the earth produces of that which the animals eat and people do not eat. He said: Umar said: Were you unable to say as this young man said, whose skull bones have not yet joined? By Allah, I do not see the correct view except as you have said. And he said: I had commanded you not to speak until they speak, but now I command you to speak with them.

     ✧ Laylat al-Qadr was mentioned in the presence of Abu Bakrah, and he said: I will not seek it except in the last ten, after a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I heard him say: "Seek it in the last ten — in nine remaining, or in seven remaining, or in five remaining, or in three remaining, or in the last night."

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed i'tikaf in the middle ten of Ramadan seeking Laylat al-Qadr before it became clear to him, then he ordered the building to be dismantled, and it was revealed to him that it was in the last ten, so he ordered it to be rebuilt. Then he came out to us and said: "Indeed, Laylat al-Qadr was revealed to me, and I came out to make it clear to you, but two men disputed and it was taken away from me, so seek it in the ninth, the seventh, and the fifth." He said: I said: O Abu Sa'id, you know better about counting than us, so which night is the ninth, the seventh, and the fifth? He said: Yes, and we have more right to that. When it is the twenty-first night, the one that follows it is the ninth, then skip a night, then the one that follows is the seventh, then skip a night, then the one that follows is the fifth. O Abu Sa'id, the one you call the twenty-fourth, the twenty-sixth, and the twenty-second.

     ✧ Will you not narrate to us a hadith you heard from your father, which your father heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ? He said: Yes. When Ramadan approached, the Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Ramadan is a month in which God has made fasting obligatory, and I have established for the Muslims its night prayer.

     ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ came out in the middle of the night and prayed in the mosque. Some men prayed following his prayer. In the morning, people began to talk about it. On the third night, the people of the mosque increased in number, so he came out and prayed, and they prayed following his prayer. On the fourth night, the mosque could not contain its people, but the Messenger of God ﷺ did not come out to them. Some of the men began calling out, "Prayer!" but he did not come out. The Messenger of God ﷺ stayed inside until he came out for the dawn prayer. When he finished the dawn prayer, he stood up, faced them, pronounced the testimony of faith, praised and extolled God, then said, "Now then, your situation has not been hidden from me, but I feared that the night prayer would be made obligatory upon you and you would be unable to perform it." The Messenger of God ﷺ used to encourage them to stand in prayer during Ramadan without commanding them decisively, saying, "Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven." Then the Messenger of God ﷺ passed away, and the matter remained thus during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and the early part of the caliphate of Umar, until Umar gathered them behind Ubayy b. Ka'b, who led them in prayer. That was the first time people gathered for the night prayer of Ramadan.
