   إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ بِالْمَوْسِمِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّا قَدْ شَهِدْنَا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، وَسَمِعْنَا عَنْهُمْ، وَحَدَّثُونَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَةِ الْهِلَالِ، وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ خَفِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا، وَإِنْ شَهِدَ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ فَصُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِمَا، وَأَفْطِرُوا لَهَا، وَأَمْسِكُوا لَهَا

   ✧ Abd Allah b. Yazid addressed the people at the pilgrimage season and said: 'O people, we have witnessed the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ and heard from them, and they narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Fast at the sighting of the new moon, and break your fast at its sighting. If it is obscured from you, then complete the number as thirty days. If two just witnesses testify, then fast at their sighting and break your fast for it, and refrain [from eating] for it.'

    سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ؓ فَقَالَ: يَا أُسَامَةُ عَلَيْكَ بِطَرِيقِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَخْتَلِجَ دُونَهَا. فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَسْرَعُ مَا يُقْطَعُ بِهِ ذَلِكَ الطَّرِيقُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: الظَّمَأُ فِي الْهَوَاجِرِ، وَحَبْسُ النَّفْسِ عَنْ لَذَّةِ النِّسَاءِ. يَا أُسَامَةُ، وَعَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ ; فَإِنَّهُ يُقَرِّبُ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ رِيحِ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ، تَرَكَ الطَّعَامَ وَالشَّرَابَ لِلهِ تَعَالَى، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكَ الْمَوْتُ وَبَطْنُكَ جَائِعٌ وَكَبِدُكَ ظَمْآنُ فَافْعَلْ، فَإِنَّكَ تُدْرِكُ بِذَلِكَ شَرَفَ الْمَنْزِلِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، وَتَحُلُّ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ، فَتَفْرَحُ بِقُدُومِ رُوحِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ الْجَبَّارُ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَفِيهِ: وَاعْلَمْ يَا أُسَامَةُ أَنَّ أَقْرَبَ النَّاسِ مِنَ اللهِ تَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمَنْ طَالَ حُزْنُهُ وَعَطَشُهُ وَجُوعُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا

    ✧ I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ, when he turned to Usama b. Zayd ؓ, say: "O Usama, upon you is the path to Paradise, and beware of being diverted from it." He said: "O Messenger of God, what is the quickest way to traverse that path?" He ﷺ said: "Thirst in the midday heat, and restraining the self from the pleasure of women. O Usama, upon you is fasting, for it draws one near to God, Mighty and Majestic. Nothing is more loved by God Most High than the breath of a fasting person, who has left food and drink for the sake of God Most High. If you are able for death to come to you while your belly is hungry and your liver is thirsty, then do so; for by that you will attain the nobility of the station in the Hereafter, and you will dwell with the prophets, and your spirit will rejoice at coming upon them, and the Compeller will bless you." [Then he mentioned the rest of the hadith, and in it:] "And know, O Usama, that the closest of people to God Most High on the Day of Resurrection is the one whose grief, thirst, and hunger in this world are most prolonged."

    خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ آخِرَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ أَظَلَّكُمْ شَهْرٌ مُبَارَكٌ، فِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ، فَرَضَ اللهُ صِيَامَهُ، وَجَعَلَ قِيَامَ لَيْلِهِ تَطَوُّعًا، فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ فِيهِ بِخَصْلَةٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَدَّى فَرِيضَةً فِيمَا سِوَاهُ، وَمَنْ أَدَّى فِيهِ فَرِيضَةً كَانَ كَمَنْ أَدَّى سَبْعِينَ فَرِيضَةً، فَهُوَ شَهْرُ الصَّبْرِ، وَالصَّبْرُ ثَوَابُهُ الْجَنَّةُ، وَهُوَ شَهْرُ الْمُوَاسَاةِ، وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ يُزَادُ فِيهِ رِزْقُ الْمُؤْمِنِ، مَنْ فَطَّرَ فِيهِ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ، وَمَغْفِرَةٌ لِذُنُوبِهِ. قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَيْسَ كُلُّنَا نَجِدُ مَا نُفَطِّرُ بِهِ الصَّائِمَ. قَالَ ﷺ: يُعْطِي اللهُ تَعَالَى هَذَا الثَّوَابَ مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا عَلَى مَذْقَةِ لَبَنٍ، أَوْ تَمْرَةٍ، أَوْ شَرْبَةِ مَاءٍ، وَمَنْ أَشْبَعَ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ مَغْفِرَةٌ لِذُنُوبِهِ، وَسَقَاهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ حَوْضِي شَرْبَةً لَا يَظْمَأُ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَكَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُنْقِصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا. وَهُوَ شَهْرٌ أَوَّلُهُ رَحْمَةٌ، وَأَوْسَطُهُ مَغْفِرَةٌ، وَآخِرُهُ عِتْقٌ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَمَنْ خَفَّفَ فِيهِ عَنْ مَمْلُوكِهِ أَعْتَقَهُ اللهُ مِنَ النَّارِ

    ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ addressed us on the last day of Sha'ban and said: "O people, a blessed month has overshadowed you, in which there is a night better than a thousand months. God has made its fasting obligatory and its night prayer voluntary. Whoever performs a virtuous act voluntarily in it is like one who performs an obligatory act in other months, and whoever performs an obligatory act in it is like one who performs seventy obligatory acts. It is the month of patience, and the reward of patience is Paradise. It is the month of consolation. It is a month in which the believer's provision is increased. Whoever provides iftar to a fasting person in it will have the reward of freeing a slave and forgiveness of his sins." It was said: "O Messenger of God, not all of us find what we can provide to break a fast." He ﷺ said: "God Most High gives this reward to whoever provides iftar to a fasting person with a sip of milk, a date, or a drink of water. And whoever satiates a fasting person will have forgiveness of his sins, and God, Mighty and Majestic, will give him a drink from my basin such that he will never thirst until he enters Paradise. He will have the like of the fasting person's reward without diminishing the fasting person's reward in any way. It is a month whose beginning is mercy, its middle forgiveness, and its end liberation from the Fire. And whoever lightens the burden of his servant in it, God will liberate him from the Fire."

    قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ حَضَرَ رَمَضَانُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، مَاذَا تَسْتَقْبِلُونَ، أَوْ مَاذَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ الْمَرْءُ ثَلَاثًا. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَحْيٌ نَزَلَ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لَا. قَالَ ؓ: فَعَدُوٌّ حَضَرَ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَمَاذَا ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَغْفِرُ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ الْقِبْلَةِ. فَنَظَرَ إِلَى إِنْسَانٍ قَاعِدٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُحَرِّكُ رَأْسَهُ وَيَقُولُ: بَخٍ بَخٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: كَأَنَّهُ ضَاقَ صَدْرُكَ قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ ذَكَرْتُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، قَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقَ هُوَ الْكَافِرُ، وَلَيْسَ لِلْكَافِرِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ

    ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said when Ramadan approached: "Glory be to God! What are you about to face?" or "What is the person about to face?" three times. Umar ؓ said: "O Messenger of God, has revelation come down?" He ﷺ said: "No." He ؓ said: "Has an enemy appeared?" He said: "No." He said: "Then what is it?" He ﷺ said: "God Most High forgives all the people of the Qibla on the first night of the month of Ramadan." Then he looked at a man sitting before him who was shaking his head and saying: "Excellent! Excellent!" The Prophet ﷺ said: "It is as if your chest is troubled." He said: "No, but I remembered the hypocrites." He ﷺ said: "The hypocrite is the disbeliever, and the disbeliever has no share of that."

    أُعْطِيَتْ أُمَّتِي خَمْسَ خِصَالٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ لَمْ تُعْطَهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَهُمْ، خُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، وَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرُوا، وَيُزَيِّنُ اللهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ جَنَّتَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: يُوشِكُ عِبَادِي الصَّائِمُونَ أَنْ يُلْقُوا عَنْهُمُ الْمُؤْنَةَ وَالْأَذَى، وَيَصِيرُوا إِلَيْكِ، وَتُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ مَرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ، فَلَا يَخْلُصُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى مَا كَانُوا يَخْلُصُونَ فِي غَيْرِهِ، وَيُغْفَرُ لَهُمْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هِيَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لَا، وَلَكِنَّ الْعَامِلَ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى أَجْرَهُ إِذَا قَضَى عَمَلَهُ

    ✧ My community has been given five characteristics in Ramadan that were not given to any community before them: the bad breath of a fasting person is more fragrant to God than the scent of musk; the angels seek forgiveness for them until they break their fast; God beautifies His Paradise every day and then says: "My fasting servants are about to cast off their burden and harm and come to you"; the rebellious devils are chained in it so they cannot reach what they reach in other months; and they are forgiven on the last night. It was said: "O Messenger of God, is it the Night of Decree?" He ﷺ said: "No, but the worker is only given his full wage when he finishes his work."

    ✧ He heard the Prophet ﷺ say when the month of Ramadan had begun: "If the servants knew what is in Ramadan, my community would wish that the whole year were Ramadan." A man from Khuza'ah said: "Tell us about it." He ﷺ said: "Paradise is adorned for Ramadan from the beginning of the year to the beginning of the year, until when the first day of Ramadan comes, a wind blows from beneath the Throne and rustles the leaves of Paradise. The houris with large eyes look at that and say: 'O Lord, grant us husbands from Your servants in this noble month who will be a delight to our eyes and whose eyes will be delighted by us.' There is no servant who fasts Ramadan except that he is married to a wife from the houris with large eyes in a tent of hollow pearl, as God Most High described: 'Houris, restrained in pavilions.' Each of them has seventy garments, no garment the same color as another, and she is given seventy kinds of perfume, no kind with the scent of another. Each of them has seventy couches of red ruby adorned with pearls, on each couch seventy beds with linings of brocade, and above the seventy beds seventy canopied couches. Each woman has a thousand maidservants for her needs and a thousand manservants, with each manservant a platter of gold containing a kind of food, the last morsel of which gives a pleasure not found in the first.

     ✧ So I narrated that to Ibn 'Abbas ؓ, who said: 'What amazed you about that? 'Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ, when the elders among the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ were summoned, used to summon me with them, and he said: Do not speak until they speak. One day, or one night, he summoned us and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said concerning the Night of Decree what you already know: Seek it in the last ten nights, on odd nights. Which odd night is it? A man said, expressing his own opinion: The ninth, the seventh, the fifth, the third. Then he said to me: What is wrong with you that you do not speak, O Ibn 'Abbas? I said: O Commander of the Faithful, if you wish, I will speak. He said: I only called you so that you would speak. He said: I only say what I think. He said: It is your opinion that I am asking about. I said: I have heard that Allah, exalted is He, often mentions seven. He mentioned the heavens as seven, and the earths as seven, until He said, among other things: And what the earth produces as seven. He said: Everything you have said I recognize except this: what do you mean by your saying, 'And what the earth produces as seven'? He said: Allah, exalted is He, says: Then We split the earth in fissures, and caused to grow within it grain and grapes and green fodder and olives and palm trees and gardens of dense foliage and fruits and grass, as provision for you. So the gardens are every dense garden, and the grass is what the earth produces that people do not eat. 'Umar ؓ said: Are you unable to say something like what this young man said, whose head has not yet fully grown? Then he said to me: I had forbidden you to speak with them; but when I call you, speak with them.

We gathered, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us an admonition, the like of which I have never heard from any preacher. He said: When one of you stands to pray, he is conversing privately with his Lord, blessed and exalted is He, so let him consider with what he converses. And let not some of you raise their voices over others with the Qur'an. Then he lowered the matting, and each of us returned to his place.

     سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ شُرَيْحًا عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَعْتَكِفَ رَجَبَ ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ زِيَادٌ أَوِ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ نَهَى النِّسَاءَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفْنَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ شُرَيْحٌ: إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ إِنَّهُ فِي كِتَابٍ مُنَزَّلٍ، وَلَا فِي سُنَّةٍ مَاضِيَةٍ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ رَأْيٌ ; تَصُومُ رَجَبَ ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ، فَإِذَا أَفْطَرَتْ أَفْطَرَ مَعَهَا كُلُّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينٌ، أَوْ أَطْعَمَتْ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مِسْكِينًا، نُسُكَانِ بِنُسُكٍ وَاحِدٍ، يَفْعَلُ اللهُ مَا يَشَاءُ

     ✧ A man asked Shurayh about a woman who vowed to perform i'tikaf during Rajab of that year in the mosque. He said: And Ziyad or Ibn Ziyad had forbidden women from performing i'tikaf in the mosque. Shurayh said: I do not say that it is in a revealed book, nor in a past Sunnah; it is only an opinion. She should fast Rajab of that year, and when she breaks her fast, a poor person should break his fast with her every day, or she should feed a poor person every night—two acts of worship for one. God does whatever He wills.
